"unjust and immoral" i've seen you say worse things that fit those categories than a single action by rits, did you own up to them?

i thought i would get in on the action. :D

i disagree with rits decision, for all the reasons people have already stated so i wont flame. However its his tourney and there's something told to me on many sports and games that i play in. "the ref is always right" even if hes wrong. Rits has made his decision. Just move on, the vast majority of the tourney players arn't effected, only one of the KS teams will advance past round 2, which is what would have happened originally. So who rly cares that much?

If rits wants to reveiw his decision he should ask the 9 players in question (if the alias team doesnt come forward, publicly or privately, the 2 KS teams should decide). and the rest of us should shut the hell up.

Theres also no reason to be offensive to liz/rits/wolf/whoever. I think ive managed to get my point across without insulting anyone, its not that hard

hobbit out :)

I don't want more drama and so, but I wanna say that this sentence could be a double-edged sword and make the players be right, because the reason of success in every business/competition/big event is that the customer is always right.
You can say players can't be considered as customers because the aren't paying to consume the service which is getting offered (in this case the tournament) but even when you are "producing" something for free, your objective should be to have the biggest majority of the people taking part in the event happy (or the majority of people who voiced their opinion, the silence isn't always the agreement), players are the reason you make this tournament, without players there wouldn't be tournament or game, and finishing with it, the referee has always to respect the rules, even if he was the one who created them.

And I will repeat, I don't want more drama, this post contains my opinion about a part of bilbo's post and I wrote it because words can be used in opposite ways very easily.

Love you all guys, see you on sunday, no flame and EU final please :lol: (last wst it was USA so please please please)

If you're being honest, there's not much to discuss about anymore.
All teams which are affected by the change agreed to it except the Rat Pack and Three Mops.
I heard from different sources now that the Rat Pack doesn't care and will pwn gazelle sux in the opening round. Because gazelle sux.

Since Ritsuka stated that in future tourneys there wont be any changes made or even that there will be no more future tourneys, this decision wont affect any future tourneys. That's why I don't see a point to continue this discussion.

After everyone joined the drama again, you can leave it now. It's Rits' decision. This topic will be dead after the tourney is played and forgotten. Except for WST 48. Someone else will make the same "mistake". Then sine pulls out this topic out of nowhere and arguments the hell out of you.

Edit: Nvm really not worth it, people have their opinions whether they are wrong or right doesnt matter, nobody really gives two shits about what anyone else has to say anyways, I think that's something we should all learn to understand here. :)

WST Prediction: Neither KS team makes it to the Elite Eight causing 3 players to quit and eventual disbanding of the clan. Half apply to Team Unknown next month.

Ok so is WST 17gmt or 18gmt..

Because 17gmt would be 12 est this time of the year and that would be in 19 mins..

But that is extremely abnormal time to start for a sumo tournament..

Or are we playing at 18gmt?
