Courtesy 2 minute wait for players not in room at tourney start

Courtesy 2 minute wait for players not in room at tourney start

TDs may give players who are not in the tournament room at the start time a courtesy 2 minute wait. After 2 minites, the missing player(s) will be outted and the tournament will start; however, as a courtesy to all players and TD's, players should try to arrive 5 minutes to tourney start, or as soon as possible. No one likes having to wait on players. We understand that there are times you just cannot be there on time, but please try not to make a habit of making people wait for YOU! Below is MAB's previous post regarding this issue. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This works well. Posted by MAB (moderator) 21 Aug 2011 3:37pm After this post, the conversation regarding start times, is finished. Further conflict is not productive and will not be allowed.. Thanks for understanding. This works well Posted by MAB (moderator) 19 Aug 2011 6:52pm So happy to see these posts. 2 min. wait for those signed up but not in the room seems ok with most. Some of our players have older computers, slower connections or handicaps of one kind or another. Some of us are older folks and we move a little slower too. We even have some issues with the clocks from time to time. With everyone having a different connection speed, live in different zones and different cyber space, it would be impossible for the clocks to be on exactly the same second on everyones screen. (hope that makes sense) The best thing for the player is to sign up 5 min. prior to advertised start time and go directly to the tournament room. This gives a few minutes to chat or hear announcements by the TD. Thanks to everyone for your continued loyalty to GC and to the great games. Thank you too for your cooperation in helping to make our tournaments fun, fair and competitive. And for your sensitivity to other players and to our TDS my most sincere thanks. You guys are terrific. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PS... oops Posted by MAB (moderator) 21 Aug 2011 3:39pm Those who have previously asked to be outed if the TD intends to wait, will of course be outed prior to start. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
