I honestly don't think the dates had anything to do w/ it. Most of the no shows, the people didn't log in during the whole time the tourney was going. RULE, Mayneak both I don't think logged at all. The star power is still there? Dissizit, Bleu, AfterThought, Erupt, ILLoKWENT, Dono, Grizz, Vitty, Row, Anarchist, Punk, Remark, Rant, Fuel, Phe ..Am I missing anyone? It's still a great tournament. I agree the no shows are disappointing but restarting puts everyone's writing and work to shit. I know I've put time into both my verses and it'd suck if they meant shit.

Well it's not like we'd say "fuck you start over". IF YOU AGREED we would restart the tourney. And there will never be a tourney without no shows. I'm just saying it should never be this bad. If only active battlers show up and not old HW for the sake of star power, PLUS normal tourney deadlines, it would be great and more legit. If you want to be one of the worst champs of all time that's you man. Anymore no shows going further would solidify that. Don't get me wrong... Looking at the left over names if everyone shows up with dopeness tho than it could still be a good one.

I get what u all are sayin. IMO id say leave things as is as guys like @ Obey who like he mentioned hasnt had no shows or forfeits and had to actually battle his way thru still have a chance of an honorable GC victory. A seperate GC for next month would be sensible prolly? Where dudes have to qualify again....not sure how it works but is GC every month or every few months? Whichever it is. I say we wait for the next GC.

Nope. This is it till next year. Won't be another till February. Only thing we got left is I think the topical and rookie tourneys. Maybe we'll get some good battles from the LBT but this is it pretty much it. Oh well. I tried. Hoping Erupt, Vit, Illok, or Grizz takes this. Winner might get bars from me. Lol

@ GOOD GRIEF Longer tourney deadlines would mean less no shows then i guess. I mean many of us have lives outside of LB plus it would add more excitement as GC is a coveted tourney right? And should b treated as such. ...No rushin GC.

i will say, i think tha 64 shit needs to be cut down to 32 period. also regarding whats goin on here, next round needs new brackets made with sumone to actually battle erupt, it makes no sense dude gets to sit bak and coast while others have to spend bars. im not against having @ GOOD GRIEF implemented bak in, jus so erupt finally has a battle. other than that, i do bro-sign @ Row to an extent.. tha early deadlines i feel played a big role in may/rule not posting, but thats jus star power. postin at tha last minute is never gone change. thank Daddio for that... he brought that shit bak in tha first all star tourney.
Holla.

No-shows were really only a problem in the first round. I think everyone will show from here on out, which means they'd still have to get past Vitty, Grizz, Row, Dissizit, ILLo and whoever else is left. Although I agree that the winner of this GC will probably be the worst in history, they'll still have to beat some heavyweights to get there, it's not like they'll get a free title.
If everyone agreed, I'd be willing to start over. I just don't think it's gonna help much.

Although I do think it's unfair to lose in a battle that was only open for like 9 hours, and as much as I'd love that shit... I lost to Anarchist. People would think it unfair to bring me back.

I think at this point 'belittling this tourney' with talks about 'worst ever' or the winner IS GONNA BE WORST CHAMPION EVER is pretty counterproductive at this point... because it undermines the efforts of the remaining participants who are still invested in this. Was it ran smoothly?maybe ..maybe not .its subject to opinion. Will it be a learning experience for running it next time?YES....we need to let the GC pan out as is and go from there...
