I want to point out that one week's lead time to enter teams is not nearly enough time to make a lot of people aware of the tourney. 3 weeks heads up would be great in the future especially considering Brawl tourneys taking that amount of time.

That said, I am super excited.

Point taken, the calendar has been updated for more than 3 weeks so it should not be a complete surprise to regular users of the site. Good luck in the tournament.
Dalfort.

My God, such rookies are running the ship now that PC stepped down.

Thanks for the hint and glad to accommodate you, Painstate. ;)

And mrt1212, of course I want to accommodate you and will make sure to add a blog entry about it when the next Box major intersects with a Brawl in the calendar. :)

Do you need me to flyer the neighborhood with the announcement?
Posted by Wreckage on 2016-02-11 02:27:42
Yes please.

EA, those are both buried on the site and are passive attempts at recruiting. You're relying on previous interest and awareness for users to self inform on the schedule. That'd be fine except there's always people who are caught unaware because of how they utilize the site and never reach those endpoints. Until you linked the calendar, I had forgotten that it existed at all and I visit fumbbl 18 hours a day.
All I'm saying is that a week or two of blog posts, forum messages, front page news preceding registration, PMs to all prior participants, would go a long way in getting the most amount of people aware of what's happening.

Well if you are volunteering to take on advertising tournaments.......

Plus the schedule is a sticky in the tournament forum.

I am EA, I am. But I'm more of a whisper campaign/guerrilla marketing type.
