I had my first experience this weekend with 30 minute games, including the championship, because of rain. I have never heard of it, nor do I agree with it. We played 30 min elimination games all the way through the championship game. Some teams got so peeved, they left. It really soured the whole experience.
I have seen games shortened to as little as 45 min - but not 30 min. That is a little rediculus. If this happens to us again, I will follow my peers and leave the tournament as well. I would have rather just flipped a coin. You cannot critique a 30 min game - its negative training value (other than me learning that I will never do it again).
Has anyone else ever experienced 30 min games? Is this a common practice elsewhere?
