So... an issue arised with George's submission (my fault here) which means his match is entirely wrong and I need to fix that - but since I was planning on only doing results and posting the next round this adds a bit more to my plate and I can't do it all in the morning. Will have to leave it for late afternoon / evening. Apologies everyone...

It's not only Ric's fault. Mine too.

As a member of the GPRO Tennis World Tour Player’s Association, I demand that you withdraw this statement. We cannot expose our weaknesses so that we can fight for our rights against our Tennis Association overlords :P

We will just brake his right foot and his left arm. :D

I was not able to fully fix the George issue, but I have done my best. My deepest apologies to George who has gotten a loss as a result (he'd probably get a loss anyways) but we must move on. As such, his match against Matthew has been updated, and I'll be shortly posting the results, standings and pairings for the 6th round (remember there's a 7th round for those who got BYEs previously.)
Again, sorry to George.
In order to prevent issues such as these in the future, PLEASE try to submit a list of attributes / values instead of instructions for me to follow, even though I accept them as valid, it might lead to scenarios like these (though make no mistake - still my fault this happened)

All rounds must be played until 13/01 at 20:00 CET ?

Sorry, ts is meant 20th.
I took a while to post results so once again, there will be leniency here, so don't worry about the short deadline.

My exams have finished earlier this week and I'm now on vacation.
I thought this would mean I'd be more motivated to make the results for this but it was such an exhausting sequence of weeks that I just did nothing the past few days. Quite remarkable.
I will post the results for round 6 tomorrow and the tournament will end on Tuesday if all goes to plan. In the next 2/3 weeks we should see no delays whatsoever :)

Delayed for tomorrow morning morning :P
Faced a bit of a situation here :D
|

|
In addition, it is snowing on the ground...

I think the sponsors withdrew. The commentator resigned, and the players re-profiled in other sports.

I was actually about to post today. Yesterday I had a talk with Flo and George in the GPRO Discord server. It wasn't particularly about this game, more about how I've lately decreased my activity in GPRO in general due to my RL schedule, and how it affected me.
Long story short, when I started hosting this game, things were pretty easy sailing in university. When I started missing deadlines was when I had projects and exams going on, leading me to be away from home pretty much all day, sometimes skipping sleep because I had to complete a project. Of course, this led to me having no time at all for GPRO, let alone silly games. You probably noticed it as I left a bunch of games a while ago.
When the 1st semester ended, and I entered vacations, I had planned for that to be the moment where I picked this up again. However, I was so burned out by university that I spent the entire 3 weeks pretty much doing nothing.
The truth is that unfortunately, like Stuart had warned me, this is too much sand for my truck. And while I tried to keep the game running, I think it's just impossible for me to do so. In fact, not only this game, but my participation in other games, and even GPRO itself, were affected by this. I'm planning on leaving pretty much every silly game except a few (the ones I feel most invested in and enjoy playing very much), and as such I'm afraid I'll have to stop hosting this too.
It's not a matter of it being hard to host, in fact, I made it very easy for me to host. A lot of stuff is automated, all I needed to do was copy paste the submissions into my sheet and it would do the rest. But I cannot handle even this right now because of my situation. I hope you all understand.
Maybe one day we'll try this again. If anyone wants to use this concept or even hijack this from me, you're free to do so. Personally, I liked the concept of the game even though I feel that the submissions are a bit too complicated in the sense that encouraged sending randomly a lot. But nevertheless, thank you all for playing, I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did, or more, and very sorry for this abrupt ending...

No worries Ric Enjoy life!

Ric I understand you. It's a shame of the game. I think it was interesting. But more important is personal life. Good luck and peace. I am waiting for you to come back stronger.

Ric
I have known someone who stayed on GPRO and the games too long to the detriment of their education. Glad you have made the correct decision and decided to concentrate on the important things and pull back from the forum games on here. Shame as this was an interesting concept and I enjoyed it... once I got the hang of it!!!!! Cannot commit to taking it over as have medical stuff going on in RL myself
Just a quick plea wearing my Game Host hat though - if you are dropping out of games please let the host know asap please.......

come on Ric GPRO is real and RL is an illusion 😉
just kidding and as George said - Enjoy your RL

I won't be leaving a game unless I feel like I can't keep up with it, which does not apply to most games... but I just won't sign up for further editions until I am out of games (might take a while :P)
Thanks for the support everyone. <3
