NyaLala Yes, sure, will do that. So notice given now, Stage 2 has just 2 outstanding game, and I'll launch next stage as soon as they're finished. This might be by next weekend, although there may be some delay, since I'll try to invite new players for the timeouts.
I was thinking your way, too, but I launched the games in two waves, and those players timed out in both batches. So I doubt that this was a problem of notification. It is also possible for those players to complain either here, on FB or via ingame message. I even tried to contact them there, to no avail. So I doubt that this will improve by a notification. Though I do wish there was some possibility to send some ingame message to all tournament as a moderator. A push message on the mobile/laptop would be the most effective way to contact players.
