Fresh to Death and Other Updates

Valucre's Fresh to Death tournament.

The Fresh to Death Tournament is well underway, and we've progressed about halfway through the first round. I'm excited as a judge because we haven't really been called in yet, which is a huge plus. We always prefer when players are able to sort out their problems among themselves as opposed to getting the judges involved.

That said, I'm pretty disappointed about the number of disqualifications going on. There have been two legitimate time-DQs and one DQ/TKO (I'm not really sure?) As of right now, a few players are over the time limit, but we're being lenient since it's still early in the tournament.

In fact, the time limit thing was something I wanted to also discuss. Some people have messaged me saying their opponent has gone over the time limit, when it was only for a few hours. Note that we don't enforce strict time limits because someone might have had something happen where they can't post or they might just not have realized that it was their turn. The tournament is about T1 prowess, not posting reliability. The purpose of the time limits is just to ensure that everything moves forward - there is no honor in winning by disqualification.

By the way, has everyone seen the Fedor loss? That's insane and I'm still in shock that it happened.
