It probably won't be done again like this in the future, but if you look around, you might understand what i did...I just think that Tant should use the standard COMPETITIVE rule set.
I don't care if Tant wants to try them out. For what purpose? To impose these rules on the rest of the nation? It's not going to happen.
This tournament isn't serious/competitive. The general consensus for tournaments across the nation DO NOT give two bans. They also do not allow PS2 and Japes to be on.
In the end, it's his tournament. If he decides to go with these rules, he loses respect as a tournament organizer. These rules will also hurt MD/VA's top players since we will not be using these rules at out-of-state tournaments.
I supported this tournament. I, and many others, probably won't support future tournaments unless the rule set is changed. I'm still going to this tournament tomorrow regardless of rules.
Edit: BTW, Japes is widely used across the nation, if you haven't noticed. Norfair is still legal in about 40% of areas. Funny thing though, Pictochat is still legal in about 50% of regions...
So you see, it all depends on preference. I haven't lost any respect by this.
