First and foremost, I would like to thank everyone for attending the event. I hope you were all able to enjoy your stay.
As for the drama, I want to apologize as I admit it was a mistake to let any sub happen, regardless of the circumstances surrounding it. Had it been anyone, it wouldn't have been soemthing I would have even considered, but at the time it played out like this:
ADHD informed me that Anti was to be a bit late and may not be on time for their first doubles game. He told me that he wanted to play out the round with Pierce filling in for Anti. At that point my initial thought was there should be no filling in. Then I considered the players, and figured if anything allowing such a sub wouldn't be much of an issue since Pierce, who admitted so himself, is not at the tournament performance caliber of Anti. Thus I figured, in a general sense, the team itself would be going in with less force than originally planned. I had to make a decision on the spot, and I made one. It was wrong, as per the rules I set forth in advance and I realized it some time later. At that point it was done. The complaints started to come in with great force near the loser finals and grand finals, and upon completion of course I was bombarded with them. The proposal was for me to have ADHD + Pierce play out the sets again to determine the placings, since Anti should never have been in.
Now I also know that having a tournament replayed from a couple rounds back as if it never happened, is also wrong. 'Two wrongs don't make a right' went through my mind at that point so I was not in favor of a replay. I have to admit, as I was trying to run Singles smoothly having a ton of people wildly rage at the table was not helping anyone. I understand people were angry, however no decision worth anything could be made in such a situation. So I must apologize for my dismissive behavior at that point. I figured the issue was not to be resolved at that immediate point in time anyway, therefore we could explore a compromise later on when Singles had been well on its way; and that is exactly what happened. I must sincerely thank Pierce in assisting with the solution, and for the understanding of all the players involved, who I disappointed in some manner.
Anti, please understand that if it wasn't you, such a scenario wouldn't have been even considered. You would simply to have gotten to play at all, and would have only Singles to look forward to. However, at the time for some reason i thought it would be okay and that you should be in the competition as you always have. This was wrong of me, but I must admit if it wasn't me sticking my neck out for you in some way, however unintentional it may have been, I don't know what it was. I expected you would understand more than anyone, figuring your tardiness was the initial cause for this all, coupled with my mistake of a decision. Therefore I'm sorry that you had to ragequit and leave. You have to understand that once that mistake occurred, people were not going to be satisfied however way it was played out. We would have to reach a compromise. While everyone stayed and tried to reach a solution, you simply left in anger.
Well, I hope this will bring some clarity to the entire 'drama,' which btw Trigger_Happy, was the FIRST instance of Brawl related drama I was witness to, and involved in. :/
Note that should I continue to run tournaments, I will no longer be doing favors for players of any caliber when it comes to the rules. A lesson was learned.
