Considering kaempfer's farewell, and his lack of response to PMs, we have decided to remove him from the event.
However, we do not want to give a free win the TheOnlyRealBeef, and therefore, Have decided on this :
We give until April 1st for deuce and phoenix to play their match, and the winner will get to play against TorB for the final.
I think rules are supposed to be enforced. Kaempfer made it to the finals, just like TORB. If Kaempfer doesn't want to play, TORB should win.
In hindsight this would have been the best for the tournament. You dont want a 2017 tournament finishing in april of 2018....or in 2019.
A new deadline was set to find a replacement for Kaempfer. The deadline was not met. This means Kaempfer has never been replaced, so TORB just wins.
Rule = rule is a great way to run an event. What does a deadline mean is people are just given more time?
If Deuce and Phoenix would play now they still haven't followed the rules. The deadline was not met, so TORB should just claim a win.
You could also assign a winner of the match Phoenix vs Deuce based on activity. It would just mean the finals get delayed even more.
I recommend just ending this event ASAP.
