There are various reasons to reject any postponing.
Despite the management being absent on specific times (which isn't the main reason) and the demand of peppy to not even ask anyone about "when do you want to play", postponings are very critical compared to "agreed scheduling before schedule release"
The issue lies in the postponing self, not in the agreement. Usually teams arrange themselves with a scheduled time, but if I postpone a match (even if both team captains accept), a huge bunch of confusion can happen.
A little example (let's use Poland and taiwan. Keep in mind that this happened like 15 times in last owc because of postponings and bad captainship, not because of my stubborn thinking):
1. Taiwan wishes to schedule on Saturday. Poland is unable to give proper times. Match gets scheduled on Saturday
2. Every taiwanese player arranges with Saturday. Usually they are not online during the week. They just took a look at the schedule once and plan to reappear on Saturday.
3. Poland requests postponing. Captains agree on it. Taiwan is nice and says yes. But Taiwan has a hard time getting players there. Also they have a way worse communication structure than Poland or something. Captain is unable to tell the players the new times. Even if he is able to do so, some might not comprehend, get confused, or forget about the time change
4. On the actual match, Taiwan has to play with 4 backups or not with ideal setup because the postponing AFTER SCHEDULE RELEASE caused a huge confusion. Poland gets an unfair advantage here, considering that they were also able to play on the original scheduled time without a proper roster but with 4 players.
Question: is that fair? I can understand that you want to play with ideal setup. The issue doesn't lie in the Sunday self. I have time on Sunday. Everyone of the management has time there. The biggest issue is, that the postponing happens after schedule release. You are simply too late. Any postponing in a short time frame causes confusion, considering the big rosters of everyone and the fact that many captains do empty promises when it comes to communicating with their team.
I am not saying that Poland or taiwan have bad captains or something, but the caused risk to an unfair mess for a team after the postponing is too high, especially on this stage.
(Let's not mention that postponing is also unfair to UK and Korea and all other teams that played before and maybe went through some shit, too - to make their match happen, instead of playing the drama card)
It's easy to blame me for issues that are on a wide spread side of issues. The demand of peppy to never ask the captains again is a result of the above story, which happened dozens of times during last owc.
And no, the last year's mess wasn't caused by us. It was caused by the urgent need of every team to postpone matches five times a week. Yes, we were inexperienced. But we learned from it. We adjusted the rules. Also I need to be neutral. This means that I disagree with skipping the ruleset for someone asking for it. Everyone needs to be treated the same.
And I see no reason why I should allow Poland a postponing with high risks, when I was not accepting any postponings so far. I must consider risk and gain.
Yet I will try to see, what I can do. I already asked around yesterday, rejecting the request for now, even tho I would postpone it if there would be any guarantee that this doesn't cause issues. But this is impossible.
