The issue is not only on the Staffs, I as a Referee is not satisfied too by the participants, sometimes the participants went missing, or not replying my messages, so what I gonna do when all of them is gone? Even searching every nickname who is online is not my job(I don't mind if i only message the Captain), the participants should be more active at least message me something.
Then you do what you're supposed to do as a referee and hand out WBDs to the players that promptly showed up on time. As a staff member, you are allowed to have your own opinion as a user of the people who are not showing up to do things that they signed up for, but under no circumstance should you be blaming users for your team's inability to proctor the tournament. It is a privilege on both sides here: players have the privilege of signing up for your tournament and playing in it, and hosts/staff have the privilege of having players who are (supposed to be) enjoying your event. Yes, some teams have not showed up; that's not on you guys at all. The reasons why people are getting mad is because the staff is doing horrible on the logistics part, and to be perfectly honest: in most cases, it's not even the staff's fault. The fact of the matter is, this tournament was structured absolutely horribly in terms of time blocks -- you're trying to fit too much in through time brackets that simply do not work.
ATTN: Ingen - stop blaming staff for "not following rules" that you set out from them; you are the failure here by your micromanagement. You don't sit here and blame your staff that they're not doing a good job, you step in and mitigate the problem so that it doesn't happen again. If your real life situations are getting in the way and the schedule is unmanageable due to the way things worked out, you shouldn't have structured the tournament the way that you did. There is so much wrong here, it's not even funny.

I thought that waiting for 20 minutes is still acceptable, though. But there are some participants that come late when the match should have started.. so the staffs need to make additional rules about attendance.
A player waiting 20 minutes for their competition to show up is acceptable and shows good sportsmanship because they just don't want to win by default.
A player waiting 20 minutes for the referee of their match to invite them to a match that should have started 20 minutes prior is not acceptable under any stretch of the imagination.
