Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
why is there an extension in a team tour when it was clear that meru deserved the activity win? just because a team subs someone in a few hours before deadline, even though they knew jayde was unresponsive early in the week but still waited till till the last second to sub, and after meru can play. all this does is reward bad managing and take away from the idea that there is no extensions in team tours, which there are for a reason.
I'm just allowing the match to happen which Meru couldn't play at that time. I don't think dodging playing should be rewarded also, so I'll give Meru enough time to show he's not. It can't be easily proven or disproven that this single extension will have a noticeable effect on the regular deadline deterrent. More games played = better tournament in my opinion.
