I don't want this to be a long fight out here.
Here is the true reason I've taken 2 1/2 weeks to get to this:
I had about a 9-day period between my last prelim and the Main to spend with my family, after being away from them for more than 2 weeks.
I spent that time focusing on that.
How was I able to make posts on this forum, then? Because I also allocated time for that, as I feel it's important to both generate content here and address complaints/issues people are having, or the forum looks like it's not being run by anyone, and falls apart.
It's also easier to spend 15 minutes to make a post than to sit down for the long undertaking of computing payouts, which I prefer to do in one shot.
So that's why.
I also assumed that, given that nobody is owed a lot of money, it wouldn't hurt anyone to wait a short time to receive it. You know I'm not going to run off and screw you.
Anyway, I am getting to it now, so stand by.
