I think what you are failing to realize is that this isn't about FR. It's about a bunch of shit over a long period of time and it is boiling over. This problems happen over and over and over and over. You said yourself every tournament has this stuff happen. Well, when is it gonna stop. People aren't mad because YOU screwed up pools, they're mad because pools got screwed up AGAIN and they thought you were handling it. It seems to me no matter who the blame was put on, the same circle of people would say shut up, get over it.
The only "solutions" anyone is given is
1) You just don't get it (the true first Rebelo which was established probably 10 years ago @
GGA 16 Bit )
2) Don't stop going to this tournament, hopefully it will be better next year
3) Next time so and so will run it so it will be better (how the hell you can say this a year in advance with confidence im not sure)
4) Go fuck yourselves I've done too much for this community
I'm not sure what you expect people to do when given these options
