Highly unlikely the Beer Cup will get sorted. Not to worey thought You have the Official Catgames Cup which is exactly same format. I have just restarted this!
Official day league has also been restarted. Official Server Cup requires just 12 more teams. FREE to enter.
With regards to 64 teams etc. This keeps the prize funds high. The entrance fees were lowered to try and entice more people in. What these competitions need is advertisement. Needs more input from Junior. Server messages, latest news screen (when was the last time this was updated btw? Xmas?)
The sad truth is that this game is run not by junior, but by us (the community)
Every communication about a bug has to go through Borg, Kush or Brian. We don't even hear from junior directly.
If certain persons stop playing or organising the extra stuff that keeps this game fun (Brian's FL, Kush TCL/TEL, Deca's stats,...) this game will die very fast. And I think most of us know this.
I don't mind this, I still have lots of fun playing. But it's sad to know that Junior keeps earning money while he is doing jack shit for it.
