Just as a note, especially since new users' posts have to be approved before they show up, it is definitely recommended that teams which have to cancel or reduce their participation in a tournament on short notice not do so on the forum, but rather by directly contacting the host, to ensure that the message is received in a timely fashion (and also to ensure that such messages are authentic!).
