[Holiday Battle Tournament]

The rules were not clear cut enough in this tbh. Sure Rule 6 but if you look at the videos of rule 6 online, suicide is a preferred strat, keeping the gate closed is a preferred strat. I took a chance on my battle and lost. I suicided in order to try and get over to my opponents gate as I knew 2 minutes in it was going to be a turtle (I had planned for this). It was and I sacrificed my round because of it (although if it worked it would of been awesome I gambled and lost). I guess the point is Battle Mode is easily exploited, a win should of at least required a certain amount of point spread. I lost with zero kills against me and 8 minutes of waiting for a loss but I took the loss and never disconnected although I could of jumped thru my computer with anger. NPC skins should of been illegal but as with everything else it was not clearly defined as such none of this can be held against anyone.

Yeah I've been watching this thread and I see a few rules missing. One of them being the "Gates must be open by the 1 minute mark" rule that has existed for nearly 20 years lol. If the rules doesn't state it and he turtled you, he didn't do anything wrong and you took your loss like you did. NPCs shouldn't have been allowed but it's also on @Starlord for starting the match without finding out what character his opponent was using by leaving the room and Tab-ing to Character Info. It's not @arkraiserx's fault. Double elimination tournament would have been nice since you guys had the right amount of players for it. Rules also don't state how many games are played in each round "round 1: Sudden Death, round 2: best of 3, Semi Finals: best of 5, Finals: Best of 7" or any other number the organizer wanted, or just clearly state "all rounds are sudden death".
