I've been challenged by a couple of people from the "March 12-18" period (gordontd & stoppiello). I know this is a faced-paced event, but I'm going to struggle playing 14 matches in a single week.

You can reject them and focus on the first week matches.

This is anticipating a match of next week because of post #6.
I rejected another challenge from next week and another one because I was temporarily buzy. Will play my next one this evening (most likely).
