MARP Tournament - New Rules for next tournament

[Gameboy9]

This is basically notes to myself - but since you're going to be following them next tournament... I'll talk about them now. Please make any objections
<p>

A. If you play the tournament, you must play eight of the ten selected games(yeah... I think I'll go down to ten games, if not, ten out of twelve.) in order to qualify your scores for the tournament. Failure to do so will result in your scores not counting.

<p>

B. If you vote for the tournament, you must play NINE out of ten games(or ELEVEN out of twelve). Failure to do so will result in their votes not counting for a number of tournaments equalling the number of games short of nine you played. Example: if you played six out of ten games and you voted, you cannot vote for three tournaments.

<p>

Both of these will make sure you play other games than those that you like, or those that you're really good at.

<p>

Catch yall later

What happened to the simple rule: "If you don't play a game you get a
zero score for that game." If people don't want to play games or
(more importantly) are unable to play the games because of version
problems or memory or religious issues, they shouldn't be forced to
play them just to have there final 7 out of 10 games score be
disqualified.

<p>

Maybe i'm just confused about what you're ruling?

I am not opposed to requiring some kind of "games played minimum" to
our tournaments. The reason being is that it prevents someone from
coming in and just posting a couple of scores or so instead of
actually participating in the tournament. The sporadic score
submissions can definitely have an effect on the standings and in
essence is unfair to those of us who are involved in this tourney.
Just take a look at some of the players who posted 3-5 scores early
on and have not been heard from since. This is not to say they won't
eventually come in and finish the other games. But if not, you can
plainly see that some of their scores do indeed change things in a
close race.

Now why can't people explain why they do things while attepmting to do
them at the same time, or why can't people think before they complain
yeah that makes sense i guess. 90ish% games required should be
decent enough to withold religous contraints.
