Tourney was near perfect this time, so I won’t cry. Thanks to all the participants.

Well I wish I could say the tourney was a big sucess, but unfortunately I think it was not. The tourney took 2 days more than I had planned, players did not send the recorded games as they supposed to send and the worst part, some players signed up and did not even showed up, in ANY of the days!
I guess I am to blame on most of this because I was the host of the tourney and I should have take measures to mitigate the problems that could have arrived, but in my mind I really think I have made the best I could; I cannot make players show up. No players no tourney. In the first 2 days I really felt like nobody would show up, so I had to start advancing the players who eventually did. This really cut short the tourney. I guess it all comes down to commitment. Players had a whole week to think if they could show up and plan it through but even though it did not seem enough for them. With a few exceptions of professionalism, almost all of them were really uncommited.
“There is no prize” you might say. You are right, there is not. The whole point of the tourney was to have fun and good games with the people you play everyday. To make you feel part of a community. Enjoy it. That is why there was no segregation between noobies and experts, everyone was welcome and equal.
My only wish was that players of today who have not had a chance to play in the golden days of aom (2002-2003) had a chance to feel what I felt at that time. The excitement of practice during the week to compete during the weekend. The feeling of losing and winning the following week. Heated discussions after the tourneys. Rivalries that were born.
Maybe the current state of the game does not allow for such wishful thoughts anymore.
The tourney ended with 3 games of figthing and [Hail]BoIt got the upperhand against AoL_Iron_Maiden to become the champion of AoM Weekend Tourney I.
Congratulations [Hail]BoIt, may Ra protect you!
