Is This a Legitimate complaint or Bleh about TOs and Majors

Im so annoyed with TOs booking majors/events on National Holidays where it would definitely hinder attendance/make it impossible for some to attend

Case and point: I went today to book my return flight (Ill be up there anyway) from NJ back to Atlanta after taking a video pkg job and CHOOSING this date based on ECT dates.

I went to book the flight and then "recommended activites" came up and it was describing things to do in NJ on Mother's Day

Yes, Mother's Day. A day in which if i had not seen this recommendation id be blown up to bits and smitherins upon return. So needless to say I cant make it.


But WTF Would anyone book a major on the following days???

Easter
Mother's Day
Xmas
Thanksgiving
July 4th
Valentines Day
etc

Sorry Im just pissed and felt the need to rant. This is annoying

I definitely see your point. It's a needless expense that kan be avoided if they just plan karefully.

Isn't most of this stuff booked for convenience of the T.Os and not the convenience of the player? But I surmise that they are under assumption that a lot of players don't have tight ties with their mothers. This is the FGC after all. ;)

There will come a day when I myself see you break character and use the letter "c" to start a word.

I think TO's should think about the players since there are more of them and they are trying to get people to pay over $200 to go to their event.

PS: I use the letter "C" to start a word if it doesn't make a K' sound or if it's a name like Soul Calibur. I have rules man!

Who cares about Mother's Day?

More than that....am i the only one that notices how much shit is available for Mother's Day...that ISN'T for Father's Day?

Man, Dads get crapped on.

It's a legitimate complaint. Maybe in some cases it was unavoidable. If I remember correctly wasn't final round on easter weekend last year? I remember the date was a big reason I couldn't attend and if I remember right that was why.

Bring your mom to ECT and have Fran and Arma serenade her after you make an impassioned speech about dedicating your placement to her, and her grandson Glass Sword hands her a gift. Best of both worlds :D
