I don't understand why we were only given a week, and a poor choice of a week at that (eSports, final exams for some high schools, etc.). I would honestly prefer the points just add up even after 5.12 passes, and just make it "Pool Party Weekends" Fri-Sun for like 2-3 weeks. I'm working Mon-Fri and my friends work Mon-Fri. And judging by the lower end amount of threads for teaming up with random people, there isn't enough motivation there.
I'm still curious as to their number setup, they had to have some statistics in mind when they created the event. So maybe something will pan out. There will likely be a large spike of points during the upcoming weekend.
