Leagues running through the holidays?

According to the current schedule, the leagues will be running through the holidays. I, for one, will not be able to play during the holidays and I'm sure there are many others. I suggest that the leagues be postponed for 1-2 weeks during the holidays. =/

I believe this has come up before. End of any discussion: It's too bad; you signed up for leagues knowing when they were scheduled and that that schedule would run through the holidays. I highly doubt that the leagues will be paused simply because such a large proportion of players participating in leagues are able to play even during the holidays.

Wait. What season was that? Because I'm pretty sure I've taken part in the last two leagues and I don't remember either being postponed...I could have a faulty memory unit. After all, I am programmed to be fluent in over 6 million languages and...

Oh wait, that's C-3PO. Sorry for being a star wars nerd.

Anyhow, I guess I was wrong...I wouldn't mind to see them postponed either, but I'm not planning anything for the holidays (one parent laid off, etc) so I wasn't really thinking about others. Spirit of the season fail?

I would actually like to chime in and say that since I'm a student, I will have vastly MORE time to play over the holidays, and is a main reason I signed up.

The holidays are going to make it nearly impossible for me and my co-op partner to play. I'm going home for the holidays and I bet he is too and we live in different states. We have GH3 for different systems, so no online (he has PS2 anyway)...

This is a legitimate issue. If a lot of people can't compete over the holidays, it affects everyone, not just those who couldn't compete. I for one would not like to compete in a league where halfway through, a bunch of people suddenly were forced to drop out of the competition.

As being another student, I am also a fan of not seeing leagues post-poned. I'll be gone the week after Christmas but I'll still be fine. I could imagine putting them back if playoffs were on Christmas week, but everybody should be fine playing limitedly on Christmas break.

This is truely a difficult problem to fix. On one side of the argument, the holidays make it impossible for people to submit recent scores for their songs. On the other, their are the people who have joined the league intending to kill time over their break peroid, and this would be a massive disapointment. I suggest that we add two more weeks on to the leagues, but the two weeks where nothing would have been going on due to the postponing would be worth a fraction of what it normaly would. As someone who can play over the holidays, I'd say this is fair.

EDIT: Bad idea. Nevermind
