Is there a reason that the entry points are deducted in the way they are (taken at point of joining the waiting tourney and non-refundable)?

If points were taken as the tourney actually starts then perhaps we'd have less AWOL players.

I had asked previously that the points be taken only once a tourney starts. You made a strong point there, D! Maybe that will help convince the people in power to make this change.:five:

Why would there be less AWOLs due to points?

I'll give you my example. I've cut my games right down, but I'm sat in 4 waiting tournaments. I have 60 points invested into those events and it feels silly to leave them. If the points were taken when the tourney begins, however, then I would definitely leave these events.

I'm not saying I will go AWOL, but I can see how it happens because it's galling to leave the events you've paid to enter.
