Anyway, in all seriousness, making an ST equal to a Masters is like saying a Masters is the same as Gifted, etc, ultimately making everyone on the same level, which just isn't true. The leagues are there for a reason, and they mean something. I'd say the only options are discount any promotions during the tournament, or keep the same rules accross all leages (not singling out ST). I understand why Connor might be upset, but making a special rule is not going to make it more fair. Our Clever league member (kRaZyXmAn) was promoted, so we have to deal with the -1 point issue as well. Just make sure to utilize the other strategic components to their fullest extent.

Congratulations on getting promoted, Connor. That makes me feel a little better about our game.

I think that instead of having negative points, you should just reward positive points. So if you had been promoted, playing a game against a lower tier wouldn't hurt you. But if you lost, the other team gets even more points.

For this tournament, I would just keep the rules the same for the first 2 rounds. That shouldn't hurt connor since he's done already with his first 2 round games. Come up with a different rule for round 3 and onward that doesn't penalize for promotions.

That's what I'm going to do. Just as the pack rules change per round so will points. Now we can put this to a rest. Now I will count connor34911 as a master when playing other Masters however lower levels will earn more if they were to beat him. For future rounds I will remove the deductions for player 2 since they don't choose who to play against.

Thank you. I am fine with that system. I realize that it is difficult to run a tournament, and I appreciate you taking the time to do so. Sorry for making things difficult.

You will get points for the league you were in when the game was finished.

Elle, here are our two 2v2 teams. So whoever has P1 against us, invite those teams.
