Single Elimination Knockout Round (3+2 CWC 2020)

As the 22nd of March has passed, the following warnings are being issued to players that have not yet scheduled their qualifier matches. To provide a full week of notice, please note that if these matches are not scheduled and played by the 29th of March at 23:59 Hawaii time, then forfeits will be applied. Private messages will also be sent to each of the players noted below.

Please either post in the forum, or message me directly to advise that you still wish to participate in the event and that you are making an effort to contact your opponent to arrange a time to play.

@andre_casanova - Please arrange your match with lemonlimes in order to avoid forfeit.
@lemonlimes - Please arrange your match with andre_casanova in order to avoid forfeit.
If there is no response from either andre_casanova or lemonlimes before 29th March, a double forfeit will apply to Qualifier Match 1 - this would mean that VariantsOnly would have no first round opponent in the Double Elimination Knockout Stage and will therefore progress to the second round without playing a match.

@crazyrkking - Your opponent saparmyrat has indicated via private message that he/she has attempted to contact you and received no reply from you.
If there is no response from crazyrkking, then a forfeit will be applied and saparmyrat will proceed as winner of Qualifier Match 5.

@mayweed - Your opponent the_crocodile_hunter has attempted to arrange a match time in this forum and received no reply from you.
If there is no response from mayweed, then a forfeit will be applied and the_crocodile_hunter will proceed as winner of Qualifier Match 6.

@thecubeofreason - Your opponent sp1234 has has attempted to arrange a match time in this forum and received no reply from you.
If there is no response from thecubeofreason, then a forfeit will be applied and sp1234 will proceed as winner of Qualifier Match 10.

Of course, the preference is not to issue forfeit results, but if no attempt is made to communicate, this will be a necessity to ensure the tournament moves ahead on schedule.

Regards,
Jann
Thank you @RacingKingsQueen. CrazyRKKing has also sent me a private message to let me know. It's for this reason that it is important to post scheduled matches in this forum, as I do not wish to issue forfeit results to players who are making the right efforts.
@Keremyagiz, your match was scheduled to begin at 6pm GMT. It only just passed 3pm GMT. Perhaps the match should begin in 3 hours instead?
