So well, I was bored, and I thought of hosting a short 4 board tourney. I looked and saw no other pairs tournament within the next hour or so and there were only moneybridge tournaments starting soon. 10 minutes of registration + 4 boards * 8 minutes = 42 minutes so this should be fine right? Apparently not!

****** (Lobby): I list my TD 20 hours ago .. Why did u put one to clash with mine

->******: sorry I didn't see it in the list when I was creating
->******: in any case my tourney is only 4 boards, the players can go to yours after they are done.
****** (Lobby): did u look ,, I do .. so I don't mess upother TD Totally unfair
->******: look I already said my tourney is going to finish before yours start
->******: when I created, there was no pairs tournament within the next hour and my tourney is only 4 boards long.
****** (Lobby): it has been there 20 HOURS
****** (Lobby): I give up .. there is NO fairness here
->******: I am telling you, my tournament does not clash or overlap with yours at all
->******: my tournament ends even before yours starts. so what is the problem?

When my tournament ended, there was still at least 2 minutes to go before his started. (Keep in mind that mine was unclocked so there were only a few tables in play in the last 10 minutes.) In any case, I advertised his tournament to my players midway through my tourney.

I must be really unfair!

too bad this isn't in the water cooler

otherwise i'd be inclined to call it a pissing contest.

LOL, but seriously I've seen overlaps happen often enough and I have never ever heard of other TDs bitching like this.

And he just can't seem to understand that mine doesn't overlap with his.

These are FREEEE tourneys!

People do act like this and can get rather nasty.

Maybe your ability to multiply also bothered him; he just did not say

Why would you delete a relevant part of his post in your quote to make him look like an idiot? 10+ (4*8) does in fact equal 42, believe it or not.

I stand corrected, I forgot the 10 minutes before 4*8. Apologies to Rossoneri.
