The good The bad The wrong CCDT

Yes here we go! first of all let me make my intentions clear, in no way I'm trying to make drama here, so keep the crap out. I'm also not planning to go in specific cases in this journal, so it's rather general.

I will give you a little inside my point of view about CCDT. The good and the bad will be rather general will The wrong will be about my mistakes.

The good.
The idea, the idea behind this cup is good let's be clear about that. I personally think that the intention of having fun with the community and learning the lower skilled guys some stuff is cool. I also have to say that every time I see someone thanking me or an other admin I'm very pleased, note: I'm not asking for you to thank me I did rather have honest critizism.

The bad.
The massive drop outs of players and captains as well, this was a real big struggle for us as admins. I'm talking about (not exact) nearly 60 dropouts on 192 players. sure we expected some but this was kinda ridicouls, if you sign up for a tourney or whatever I expect you to be there, is that asking for too much? of course some on expected stuff for some people will come up but like I said this was a to high dropout rate if you ask me.

People cannot into read. There were so many people that where to lazy to read the main news, asking questions that were clearly in there, if you are too lazy to read it why should I re-write it for you?

The continuing flame after something was either agreed or disagreed with is also frustrating especially after apologizing. Shit like this happend in more than one case.

The wrong
The preparation wasn't good from out(mine side), some people told us to get more admins sure that might have token off some of the heat but it was about the prepation mostly. I can't blame anyone for that beside myself and I take it as a lesson my previous experience with adming a bit was with the Battle For Berlin. This tournament was prepared very well by Baggiez and had strict rules(I will come to that in a second) that's why I didn't really think of that when perparing this one. I will take it as a lesson ofcourse and will try better in future tournaments that I might run.

The rules, there weren't enough and weren't strict, this was a bad thing and caused confusion, I take that as a failure from my side as well and will probably try to work on that.

The heat of the moment. I'm human thereover I will make mistakes especially in the so called 'heat of the moment'. You have to imagine that I had atleast 10 people querying me at all time during the cup last night and had to arrange other stuff that wasn't about the queries as well, this obviously lead to some bad decisions from my side, I apologized to the people for this already and I can't do more about it so you have to life with that, my bad.


Thanks for the 600+ Queries I managed to score during the last 3 days and my apologize to anyone who had a rather bad time in CCDT. I can also announce to you that there won't be a next edition of CCDT from my side as I personally don't think it's worth the hours for me, and for the guys who would like to know I can happily announce you that only from my side there were atleast.

Insane huge shoutout to Anikiy for helping me out yesterday, would have been such a disaster without him.
