Stop getting so mad with this. There are plenty of other tourneys in Smogon so using the "I was gonna get known by playing in this tourney!!" excuse is pretty bad. Not only that, but
you guys arent the hosts, Exclamation Point and locopoke are, and if they think about and decide letting more known players to play in their tourney, they are totally free to do so. Honestly this isnt going anywhere, and sure, he may have had a mistake by not posting he would have picked more known players over newer ones, but please its his first tourney hosted, cut him some slack.
No, my problem with this is that when I logged off for the night yesterday, I WAS ON THE FREAKING LIST, and when I log on today, I'm not. And yet a lot of users with no badges signed up after me, and are on the list. It's not fair in any sense.
I don't want anything to do with this tournament any more. Good day.
Didnt it cross your mind that maybe you were on the list because you posted soon, but if other more known players post after you, and the host wants to let them join because he knows they will make a better job contacting/playing/etc. than you, its up to him and seriously, bashing them isnt going to change things. Btw, the "other non badged users posted after me and they got in but i didnt" thing, not all good/known tourney players have badges, there are some like Krack and SilentEcho that have no badges yet they are very well known by being good tourney players in general.
And you have posted 3 times that you dont care about this tourney, so why keep posting it.
