They drag the hell out of this tournament. Nothing on Thursday but a Draw. Friday, one match. Saturday one match. Today no match if you won the previous two days; loser side, one match.
Looks like tomorrow two matches. Then Tuesday is a day off. Then two matches Wednesday. Then semi & finals on Thursday. ...
Yes, it's absurd taking 7 or 8 days to go from 128 players to a winner, with the last 64 players in single elimination. And the WPA blesses this? I just checked on why no play Tuesday. It's "National Day," an annual public holiday -- "Commemoration of Qatars [sic] unification under Sultan Jassim."
