“The tournament will last for 4 weeks (9/12/14 – 10/10/14).”
They should wait until 9/19/14 to begin the tournament. We all know what the bug fix patches do to a match and starting a new tournament the same week as a major patch we can expect a few bug fixes and down time/resets in WvW just as the match is taking off.
