Why? IS THIS RUNNING SUNDAY TO TUESDAY!?!?! :O
reason why its sun -> tues^Agreed that it is not the best thing in the world, but it makes thousands of dollars of difference in venue and hotel costs, both to us, and additionally to you all. FC has always been Thursday-Saturday. We just shifted it to the other side of the weekend.
My face when I have used the latter 2/3 of those johns.It was raining too hard for me to walk to my car.
I had the liquid shats.
My hands were sweaty.
We've also made the point that every iteration of FC has been Thurs-Sat, so Sun-Tues is really no different from a weekend perspective. Somehow it's throwing everyone for a loop.reason why its sun -> tues^
Well the difference is that with Thurs-Sat, you can sleep in sunday morning and travel back comfortably sunday while having only missed 2 weekdays. With Sun-Tues, many if not most players will lose most of Wednesday travelling as well, so it becomes harder to get off work/school, etc. Since players usually first arrive at the venue/housing late the night before or the morning of the tourney, having the first tourney day as a weekday still let most people only have to take 2 weekdays off.We've also made the point that every iteration of FC has been Thurs-Sat, so Sun-Tues is really no different from a weekend perspective.

Oh well. Never let it be said that the Ship abides by the status quo!
I think there's a better chance the tournament ends earlier on Tuesday than starts later on Sunday...it'll start early on Sunday for certain. So theoretically, Wednesday should be as necessary of a travel day in the former scenario as it is in the latter.Well the difference is that with Thurs-Sat, you can sleep in sunday morning and travel back comfortably sunday while having only missed 2 weekdays.

I'm fine with it, but I think this might be underlying some peoples concerns.
I might as well take the time to figure this out lol.I think there's a better chance the tournament ends earlier on Tuesday than starts later on Sunday...it'll start early on Sunday for certain.

But obviously it's weird for people so maybe theory falls short. Guess we'll see!
Yeah that's true. It all depends on what ya value most!Just leave Tuesday night...
lol
The advantage of Sun-Tue (other than the lowered venue fee) is that Fri and Saturday are completely open.
Someone could even host a smaller, pre-FC Saturday tournament!
you lose just as many days in both... In the first, you are traveling wed and play thurs fri. In the second you are playing mon tue and traveling wed. I don't see the difference.I might as well take the time to figure this out lol.
Assuming a significant (6 hour?) travel time, the time lost is this:
Thurs-Sat: One evening arriving(Wed night), two full work/schooldays playing (Thurs+Fri) one full weekend day (Sat) and the daylight another weekend day (Sun). Thats only 2 work/schooldays.
Sun-Tues: The arrivals are over the weekend, so it is One evening arriving (Sat), One weekend day (Sun) two full work/schooldays playing(Mon+Tues) AND the relevant portion of another work/schoolday (Wednesday) to travel back. That is 3 days of work/school missed.
Add to this the fact that Friday is the most likely day to have off from school, and Thurs-Sat really is preferable because you miss only 2 regular work/school days at most and for many it'd be just one. For Sun-Tues, it is 3 missed, and it is much more unlikely that students would have one of Mon-Wed off.
However, so far this is going as planned. History says it's like this:
1. The Ship announces something janky
2. Everyone goes "WHA?"
3. Three months later, everyone starts doing it that way
Woody Allen!Dear Midwest,
