seanbudIn invite, you know from day 1 your entire schedule for the season, and dates/teams are not changed. So why the forced time limits? I think it is in literally everyone's best interest if we just allow exceptions for invite matches.
Referring to the bold, this serves as an argument as to why no exceptions should be made. If you have all season to get ready for a game, one would think you could find atleast one hour out of 168(one week for those without a calculator) to play your game. If anything this rule should be harshest on those in invite that can prepare farther into the future and get in contact with their opponents the fastest. If literally no one is willing to skip their comparative literature seminar or what have you, only then should an exception be made.
In the end: If 12 people can't find 1 hour out of 168 to play videogames when they know eachothers schedule literally the whole season, not only are they lazy and dumb as fuck, but should probably learn how a competitive, scheduled arrangement works.
No exceptions.
