Kurtieburd,
Did you get a ruling from Scarab on substitutes? He
let Fangr play for Tool Rush Bait but if that is allowed
to continue, teams will keep subbing better players from
eliminated teams. I agree subs are needed as the
requirements for availability where not set up very well
for the tourney but I am afraid of all kinds of ringers
showing up in the final matches.
I have been thinking of starting a kind of league
after the tournament that would let would be teams
vote on league match times, and all would be required
to showup or forfeit if they dont make the voted upon
times. That may eliminate international game play
but if the games are all heldup because of time zone
problems it defeats the purpose of having fun playing
good games once a week or so... It would be round robin
with maybe a playoff at the end with seeding based on
the results of the round robin...
