I've been overwhelmed by multiple requests from players. Someone didn't show up, someone was late, someone forfeited, someone get banned in the middle of the tournament. This lead to a difficult decisions to ensure competitive & fair bracket for everyone. Maybe it's unusual and harder to read compared to challonge tables, but I'm sure it was better from a competitive standpoint. I still believe no-bracket-stalling formats like rolling rounds Swiss and Round Robin are the way to go, but I will look forward to writing some scripts on automatizing Swiss to ease the burden of being TD.
Next time I'm likely to host tournament with less mods, higher rating cap and improved format. You can write me the feedback in Discord PMs about what you've liked/disliked about the tournament, it may affect my future plans.
