First off the main concern of skipper, namely only being able to play 1 round after paying
50 Euro, has been answered. You can play the same rounds as everybody else except the final
one. Also it is not the same to ask a question and to make a negative comment that includes
a question behind negative criticism. And this criticism was, as it seems, based on a
misunderstanding. So normally you ask a question first instead of answering in such a way.
Nevertheless the expressed concern has been addressed. So there is nothing in the line of
STFU.

Also you can't just quote a sentence out of context. In your comment it seems to say that
nothing should be said beforehand, whereas in the statement the whatever it is, is clearly
referring to the "don't like" or "like" alternatives in response especially to skipper. That's a big difference. As such it's a quite valid response to a poorly asked question in my opinion.

We will think about the realisation of the qualification round for the team tournament in detail, if one is necessary. About this there will still be many discussion until a decision is reached to ensure a good tournament, Also it has to be discussed with the EMA, and as such I think it is unfair to already declare it as a "bad idea". If 80 persons participate, everybody plays in the qualification round. The best 64 advance and play for the rankings 1 to 16 inclusive a final round. The 4 teams (16 players) which did not qualifiy themselves, play for the rankings 17 to 20. There no final round will be held and so they can enjoy the Friday and return later.

If you don't like it you can come to me and complain about it. If you like it it would be nice to not only tell me but also write here about it. Whatever it is please judge after you have experienced it instead of beforehand.

So look forward to it, let yourselves be surprised and judge after 1 year and 5 months, when the event has taken place.
