You shouldn't have started the damn thread if you didn't have everything ready.
You know, I was trying to move the tournament forward so people don't have to wait more. It's not like signups didn't took ages to fill up.
It doesn't matter. If the preparations aren't finished then you shouldn't start.
I wouldn't bake a cake and go "Well herpy derpy doo, I don't appear to have any eggs, but I'll just continue anyway." and then put the mix in the oven, then crack the eggs into the mix while it's in the oven. That's just retarded.
If you want a tournament to be good, you don't just assume that the quicker it gets out the better it'll be. The tourney might take a long time to fill up, but if when the SBV thread is made everything is there, all the splashes are good, the brackets are finalised well, and all the robots are ready to go, then people will then be of the opinion that "Hey, this guy knows what he's doing. Man, I'm not excited about this tournament again."
That's not what is going on here. Sort it out.
