Quote from: Gazea2 on June 08, 2014, 02:16:25 PMI don't think the host should be banned if they don't get enough entries to move the tournament forward, personally.Literally what are you talking about. There have been tournaments that recieved a grand total of 4 entries but have still gone through and finished their tournies, cases in point (https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?topic=13652.0 and https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?topic=14291.0). There's no excuse not to finish a tourney because "hurf durf i dont have enough entries so i give up".

When only 4 of the 16 or so who put that they would enter in the poll actually bother and send in last minute bots/re-entries despite signups being open for 1-2 weeks already, there is literally no point. It's demoralising.

Or have we?
Okay. To bring this back up, some new ideas.No changes to Minor League rules.Major League running time reduced to 9 months, tournament ban if deadline lapses extended to a year.Thoughts? It's pretty brutal but if people want to run big tournaments, they should deliver surely.

We've already got that kind of system in place, as 'conditional extensions' which are generally given week by week as long as a set quota of videos are posted.
