Are you still trying to make up the rules?
I'm trying to make up the rules? Ehm, sorry? Elaborate.

The match time was agreed. Whether by mutual consent of team captains or, in this case, admin intervention.
Do I need to explain you the difference between "forced" and "agreed"? Admin intervention doesn't mean that I agree on the match time, otherwise the administrator would not need to intervene and we would have agreed on that time like everybody else. Agreed means that both captains actually discuss when to play, and then agree on a time that is suitable for both teams.

I can assure you that we also only had 15 minutes to gather a team. You claim it was unfair but both teams had the same amount of time to gather players.
It's sort of sweet to see how you are trying to make it look like both teams were in the same situation. First of all, I can't judge if you really got forced to play, since the admin that made the decision is part of your team. Let's say you got forced. You had 5 players available, whilst I had only 4. The point you're trying to make is that you had the same time as my team. But, in the end, it ain't difficult to join the correct server within 15 minutes, whilst it is quite difficult to find a 5th player at 11pm without any notice beforehand. I cannot believe you fail to see this point.

I would sympathise more with you had we not been forced to play under the same circumstances or had you tried harder to schedule normally.
Regarding this point, I was in contact with Folms several times last week, but we never got to agree on an actual date, since both team were busy preparing for the IG vs AE Match in the ECS (you, Folms and Corey playing for IG and the majority of my team playing for AE). I just guess you aren't even aware of the whole situation.

You come back to the final deadline again, but our match was a semi final and the deadline was the 11th. Add three days to the deadline of the final and we'd end up playing the final at Christmas - the worst time to arrange matches.
I also fail to see how Christmas comes in, the fixtures for the finals got posted like 5 minutes after our match was over, 22/12/13 as deadline. We played the match on the 12th of December at 11pm, and again as I said, we could have also played it tomorrow, the 15th of December, without causing trouble for the Finals which is why I complain.

You also make the assumption that we will be able to field a full team on any day after the deadline - it's easy to make those assumptions.
I'm quite sure you would have been able to field a team of 5 players on a weekend for a match that lasts less than an hour, otherwise you shouldn't sign up for a tournament. Even if not, and we would played the match within the deadline, I'm quite sure the RUM Team wouldn't have agreed on that date.
