My understanding is that early draws were generally condoned in this specific case bc this tournament format was especially long-winded (15 games before playoffs started). And, this was the final round of games.

Why not adjust your ratings to fit the prevailing perception? Presumably the reason you're leaving reviews is not for yourself, but to help others, be it the business or future customers. To that end, it seems an adjustment is in ord

How share price reacts depends on a few factors: the price of the ATM offering, whether the offering is viewed as a sign of distress, and how the cash is used (or not used). If the ATM offering is priced at the current share price, and the
