Some of our guys work weekends and need to plan time off for matches. How soon can we get the match times up? Anything helps in this case.

Thanks,

Thanks,

you can sort of estimate by checking last year's schedule. Might not be dead on but it should be a good estimate.

(That said, I was expecting movement on prize-pool, scheduling, and final details at a month out, and that didn't happen, so I'm with you on this request)

they had the schedule posted once but took it down, had incorrect dates, but what is assume correct time of day. but basically, as far as i remember, it went down bracket list in order, starting around 14:00 evetime or something like that.

Need times and dates. You have players that work weekends... for example Im a firefighter that works 24 hours straight, holiday, weekday, or weekend.... I need time to plan my schedule to get workbacks and days off!

Please dont make this a neo issue and make it last second.

I'm so sorry to bug you guys, but is there any chance we can get the time schedule for the tournament posted, like, today or tomorrow? I'm about to lose two more people on my team for the first weekend, because they are running out of time to put their time-off requests in at work, since we don't know what time our matches are. I've told them assume 1300-1400ish based on prior tournaments, but really need official time schedule. Pretty please!

Again, sorry to bug and nag, I really appreciate all the hard work ya'll are doing for us!

Thanks!

it shouldnt be seen as bugging or nagging, if CCP wants their game to be considered a legitimate tournament medium then they need to step up their game and not wait less than 2 weeks to post a schedule, this is unacceptable and is a detriment to teams of all sizes that have players working weekends...if i was at my old job i would assuredly be fired for asking for every weekend off for a month, it would only be viable to work around an existing schedule in my case, but thankfully i have a now have a job where i only work weekends

You know what's sad is that it looks like the people at CCP who actually care about the AT are given no support from the company. It sounds like the few people at CCP who care about the AT are doing it on their own time. Which frankly is shameful. E Sports are a pretty big deal and if handled properly the AT would give CCP the kind of publicity money can't buy but instead it seems like an afterthought that only fozzie, merovingian and a few others care about.

This above seems to be the sad truth about CCP these days.
Maybe they don't have the manpower, maybe they are too busy doing other things, developing legion and valkyrie....

Whatever it is it just shows that their flagship game is not getting enough attention and that good advertising opportunities are lost to trivial things such as a timely schedule.

Sorry for the delay everyone. I've made a new sticky with the schedule for the first two weekends. Updates to the official site and the schedule for the last two weekends coming asap.

Thanks, Fozzie!

That schedule is *drastically* different than expected - starting two hours' later than usual, and first two rounds split over two weekends, instead of two days, for only about five hours a day. Should be a lot less crazy for the commentators ;)

Thanks for getting us the info!
