I agree, I really don't understand why we were calling for fillers for league 6, and now opening a league 7 after league 6 sat unfilled for weeks. Just unnecessarily increases the overlap of events, makes the tourney more chaotic, makes it that much harder to determine actual standings, etc.
Seems to me we should have definite deadlines, posted well in advance, for filling the final league in each event. Fillers should only be used if needed to fill that final league. Then stick to the schedule, so folks know what's going on and when. Nobody who cares enough to pay attention gets left out, the tourney isn't slowed and disorganized by the few inconsiderate slackers who don't care enough to pay attention, fewer leagues are diluted with fillers and the improved organization makes the tourney go more smoothly overall.
