That's not really fair imo... say person X is being very active, but person Y doesn't feel like battling and doesn't reply... then person Y posts 1 minute after the deadline, so he would get a substitute for a second chance to the next round, while he was the one who was lagging the tournament? o.oI think it's obvious to everyone that there will be a short extension. If your opponent does not show after the deadline expires, the FCFS (First Come, First Served) rule will go into effect. Report to me either through a PM or by posting here. The first to reach me will be assigned a sub. Unless of course you both find each other online at the time slightly past the deadline. Play if that's the case. Being assigned a sub will happen only during round one.
To be fair, the only PM you sent me said:Mr. COalex has still not responded to my PMs. I've left contact information, general activity times, etc. Still no word!
I can be on for most of tomorrow, or for another hour tonight if you're on. We're in the same timezone, so we should be able to get our battle done. Just find me on IRC or Shoddy Battle (I'm on most of the time I'm on the computer)We're paired up in the Smogon tournament thing. I'm not really available for at least a few days (I've got a DotA match today, after which I'm heading out for a party), but you can feel free to get in touch with me for a game over the week.

You can PM me here, or whatever you like.
Also, I'm in EST (GMT-5) time.
May the better man win :)
