It has come to the attention that the time you record a game and the time you submit it is too long. So instead of two weeks, you have three days, 72 hours, to submit a game after you've recorded it. We'll probably be lenient for the first half of the tourney, but we'll be more stingent in the second half.

Question,
when did we start imposing tournament rules at will???
I thought all tourney rules have to be voted on once the tournament
started...

Actually 3 days is what I suggested when I made this rule suggestion
back before the tournament started. I figured it would increase the
competition as everyone saw what the mark was they had to beat and
avoid someone building up a raft of big scores and then uploading
them at the last minute without giving someone opportunity to
respond. I think we will still have some people who upload a new 1st
place score in the last day or so of the tournament in the hopes that
it won't be beaten. This was my intention for proposing this rule in
the first place TO PREVENT SOMEONE FROM HOARDING A GOOD SCORE.

While I'm glad to see that Gameboy has now adjusted the timeframe
back down to my original suggestion, although unfortunately this
should have been done prior to the tournament beginning, I don't know
that it's necessarily going to be viewed kindly changing a rule like
this once the tournament has started.

Calm down, it's a rule that is a no-brainer as far as I'm concerned.
If we don't do something like this, then this essentially becomes a 1
or 2 day tournament. I fully concur with gameboy and BeeJay on this
one. Good idea BeeJay

I, for one, don't feel like watching my lead evaporate in the last 24
hours just because someone thought they could outsmart the system
(provided I can hold it that long . Like JoustGod said, this
one's a no-brainer. I think we could stand to shorten the tournament
length a little too; I'd be willing to vote on that.

Gameboy9 had made it clear at the start that he'd set certain rules if they were obviusly neccessary. The voting was intended to give us a chance to add to things & keep it steered the right direction, not tie the tournament coordinators in miles of red tape.

That said, this one is a no brainer. Still, there will need to be some leeway in the next week or so, and I'm not guaranteeing support for all autocratic changes later
