nobody is looking forward to a +12 hour tourney...you want more rounds, show up on time and pray that tourney starts on time to get the maxium number rounds in...no one person can predict that all will run smooth - just saying!!!
it would be great if the tourney didnt have to be so long, but snubbing the players of rounds at every tournament is unfair in obtaining a worlds invite. maybe instead of "praying" those who are running the event should do everything they can to organize and be prepared for such a large tourney. if other states can do it with no problem, why cant cali? is the player base too dedicated? would you like for us to not care as much?
