In honesty, and saing it purely from an obervant, neutral POV, and one that has been in all but 1 of the Tournies since Fifa 08, lose the deadwood for this one, or otherwise we end up with people with a load of games to play in the last week, who didn't put the time in over week 1, and will then be whining if people can't make their play times in week 2, its the same its always been
