I think I see where the problem might have been

Mitch didn't you get the memo? the PRT stopped doing "fun teams" some time around the end of c7.

*Sigh*

The problem was we hadn't finished writing up all the rules, we had most of the framework down but there was still work to be done on ancillary things. None of it was in a final presentable format, it either had convoluted language or hadn't been summarized and prepared for publication.

The other problem was that there were only 3 active admins, one of whom wasn't able to be active very much due to RL issues and the other two needed his permission to enact policy.

The COs were a rehash for the most part of the stratification presented in earlier campaigns, we were having to make do with the same old and management wasn't happy about it.

Then there was the NDA breach, which led to the removal of 1 of the 3 admins who happened to be working on a fairly important bit of the rules, namely the No Go Zones.

Because of this, that meant there was essentially 1 red tag left, that red tag took a look at what had been accomplished, what needed to be accomplished and how much free time he had and made the determination that if he tried to push through anyway, it would fall apart ala the World Cup. Since this Admin had worked damned hard to keep the tourney going in the past and wasn't about to have something he worked so hard on be disgraced in such a fashion, he determined, with management's concurrence, that it would be better to shut the whole thing down while the PRT still had some dignity so that PRT: ArmA could be launched without stigma.

Is that more of the response you were looking for? This wasn't a simple "Oh we don't have enough staff", because a red tag isn't like a player, they need to be trustworthy, they need to be organized and they need to put a shit ton of work and time into this tourney. Finding those dedicated people in any reasonable amount of time wasn't going to happen.

And before you idiots say "Oh, I'd do that no problem!" No you fucking wouldn't, I know because of the dedicated admins we had to start this thing, almost all of them left, and this isn't like a PRT officer posting where you can get by on minimum activity or just hang out, it's almost another job on top of everything else you do in real life. Trust is the other issue and to be frank, finding people we trust to give the access to things like the PRT is HARD. The fact that one of our Admins breached NDA makes that even HARDER!
