The 2023 Little Cup Circuit is coming to a close, and if you want to qualify for playoffs you'll want every point you can get. Now is the time for a final push, and this is the Last Chance Little Cup Tournament!

Rules:
  • Standard SV LC
  • Single Elimination
  • All rounds will be best of three, you may switch teams in between games
  • Any changes to the tier that occur in the middle of a round will not apply until the next round
  • You are expected to know and follow all general tournament rules
  • VMs are only thing that matters for activity. Use this guide to ensure you don't lose via activity or coinflip.
  • Substitutes will be slotted in as players drop out or in mass a few days into the round. If you are tagged due to being in danger of being subbed out you must either post in the thread or on either player's wall within 24 hours or risk being subbed out.
  • In order to encourage development of the Little Cup metagame and higher quality games, replays will be mandatory starting in Round 2. If neither player posts replays, the match will be coin flipped.
This is a Type B tour as part of the 2023 LC Circuit. For more information on different tournament types and how they relate to circuit points, please read the LC Circuit thread.

Kaboom  vs  kythr - I haven't watched kythr play the video game in a while so I'm going to be lame and not bold someone here. Definitely the set to watch this week though, hopefully for the fans it goes to a Game 3
Acehunter1  vs  Fille - Free Acehunter1-2 for SCL, he'd beat cleann. Don't really have an opinion on this one
Concept Everything  vs  Heysup - In my opinion, the two players least likely to win the whole tournament, so lucky of them to match up with each other to nab a finals spot. I'm not sure if Heysup is still reusing teams for Concept to potentially take advantage of, and I think they played each other recently as well? Think Heysup's unmons of choice will be better than Concept's unmons so he win.
 
Didn't see all this but why was my opponent awarded act last week it should have been a flip or extension, they had last message but it was on the day the round was made and made no further attempt at scheduling, I forgot to answer their message. I can see why you'd favour them but seriously... They didn't remind me at all and afaik they forgot as well as they made no further attempt at trying to schedule or remind me and didn't post of my inactivity on the thread which would have notified and reminded me of my scheduling mishap.

Your opponent for last round offered a specific set of times, then after they were told those times wouldn't work (with you not providing your full availability in response) they attempted to open up that range further to see if anything there would work. You then didn't respond to them at all. Saying you didn't deserve an activity loss because your opponent didn't remind you to answer them and they started scheduling ASAP is a bold claim, and I'm not sure what further attempts to schedule you believe they needed to do - they told you that weekend wouldn't work and proceeded to try and find a time during the week outside their initial range.

An extension might have been possible if either player requested it and I had reason to believe it'd get done, but since you had stated that the given time ranges for monday-wednesday last week wouldn't work I didn't see a reason to grant an extension that I had no confidence would get done.

Also you were scheduling with somebody else on your wall literally one message up from Heysup on November 2nd so I'm not sure how you're claiming you didn't see that conversation.

Beyond that, the timeframe for an extension ended a day and a half ago, so a late extension cannot be granted. Even more than that, the game between Heysup and Concept Everything has already been played for this round, so anything besides egregious host error (which this is not) would stand.
