Why are people leaving the wc? whats going on has nothing to do with the world cup!
There has been no problems with the world cup as far as I can see. Makes ne sense.
I seen prople that quit on the tables makes no sense.

I do not speak in the name of other people but maybe my answer will give you a kind of answer to your question.
By Blackmail-affair http://www.thefreepokerroom.com/forum/1_8841_1.html, one/some mod "Moderation Team" talk unfair and disrespect against Regis (Bat). For this reason Bat left TFPR. No mod appologize Bat that means that they agreed with Blackmail-affair or think that do not worth to talk. Both positions means more that "nothing important happend or ... is happen again!".

You said that this in not related with world cup. Bat was team captain. What happend to Bat is inacceptable for individual and also for team captains. We must say no, that we do not accept that an individual or captain to be treated in this way by "Moderation Team" (mods unfortunatly).

So, leaving league and WC is a protest for how Regis was treated as individual and team captain (... not to mention his hard work for years for this community).

Yes, we can not change things but we can say that we care about everyone in this community, about team captain. ... and not a list to say to Regis that we care about him, his work and the way and reason that he left TFPR.

Personal, I am not in "mod" to play in Respect Tourney (Aretha Cup) because the disrespect that was treated Bat as individual and team captain. I left Aretha Cup also.

It is a protest.
It is about team.
It is about community.

well what happened to bat was related to the league not the world cup.
I love bat as well. he has done so much for this site. But im not going to leave the world cup and say to the rest of the team f you as your captain im leaving. That is so wrong on many levels. I dont and will not turn my back on my teamates!
