Also, I expect about 20 - 30 downthumbs/votes/arrows on this. The more the better. Don't disappoint me. Dislike the **** out of it. Please.

Plus, I don't think you're gonna get 20-30 downvotes because I don't think 20-30 people care that much about this game.
And last but not least, the delay in the threads isn't on account of the lower-level events not being scored in time, that's completely on me and my busy schedule, We've had the scores for the last event in since last Wednesday and I just haven't got round to making the thread.
It is what it is man, I'm 38 years old with two kids and a job, I do my best to get **** done in time in order to not have it effect the game, but sometimes (especially in August with the kid being home a lot for summer holidays gets me behind on my work) it just won't happen. If anyone wants to pick up the job I'd be more than happy to pass it on, I've been doing it since season 2 and the only reason I picked it up again this season is because people started talking about wanting the game back, as far as I was concerned I was "retired".
Just so you know, it takes me 2-3 hours to get each weekly thread up, the only time I have for this is usually from after my son goes to sleep (around 20:30 at night), that means that most of the times you see this thread come up, I've been working on it from around 21:00 'till 1:00 (sometimes even later).
EDIT:: And no, I didn't downvote you, just trying to explain what the other side of this game looks like.

The events that don't have results by the following weekend,possibly picking a designated time like sunday 10 pm est (I would like much earlier),should simply be scrapped (as far as BLC) or the partial results for that event used.i like having to study the lower level events,you learn about fighters and then the next time you see them you're already familiar with them.Picking just big events you pretty much know everyone already.
I think next season,if there is one,there should just be more people involved in running it,everyone with their own pretty simple responsibility relieving some of the work load and leg work.Running these types of things are usually 10x harder than players who haven't done it understand.If someone can't get to their responsibility in a decent time they message someone else to cover them that week and everyone just stay communicative,maybe a thread dedicated to the people involved in running it just discussing and letting each other know what's up.
I would like to see things more organized,but i'm just happy we got another season going and I appreciate everyone's hard work,but I don't think less events is the answer in anyway.Toll is usually always very fast to add numbers to the spreadsheet,i'm assuming he's on vacation,or something out of the ordinary happened,cause it's unusual for him not to have Aspera numbers in yet.I would do it today,and post unofficial results,but that's a good bit of work without access to the spreadsheet,but I was kind of planning on it already.
This was the first week we didn't have results for so long,it hasn't really been a problem,I see this as an isolated situation not something that happens all the time so I don't really give a **** that it's so late.If you wanted you can simple add your team stuff up yourself and figure out who won it would take 15 minutes.I have everyone on my team on 'follow' so I just go to the event and click "compare" and their numbers are right there,and an event like Aspera shouldn't have too many players to sift through to get your opponents numbers.

We do our best man, but you know, real life sometimes gets in the way of Internet games. These past couple of weeks have been "slumpy", but I'll most likely pick the pace back up this coming week. It's a long season and August is just that kind of month for people with kids.

Scores Update
I finished up last week's scores, the link should still be around on the week 5 thread somewhere.
I'm pressed for time, so I was only able to start this week's scores, double check them - I was in a hurry.
I'll be back on track in the next day or two.
Here is your >> Week 6 Update <<
