So baton pass is still banned? Last ubers tournament had baton pass unbanned, not like anyone would bring a dedicated baton pass team that they have been waiting to use for an ubers tournament though
I would be in favor of removing the time clause as of now just because it is way too easy to abuse it. I won't call out anyone but it is quite easy to spend 60 seconds per turn in some of those early turns of a duel and really rack up some time, can get up to 30 minutes pretty easily and maintain a 6 vs 6, and it doesn't seem like there's a good way to prevent the time stalling either, I mean the time staller can just make an excuse and say they're calculating or lagging or thinking or getting coached (hue). A showdown style timer would work a lot better I would imagine, just because of how you have the same pool of time for multiple terms (I'm not exactly sure on the mechanics of it), although there have already been multiple posts about changing the timing method and/or adding a visible timer, I'm sure it is "added next update" though so there's probably not much to do at this point. Also removing the time clause doesn't seem like a viable option to the hosts just because a 90 minute match could really hold up a tournament if they're not dq'ed, even though time clause kind of eliminates the whole stall archetype.
I'd assume 9 GMT just because the poster was probably made before the time change whenever silly europeans have theirs, and according to the oceanic tournament, there was a 4 hour difference between EDT and GMT. Although I could be wrong anyways
Don't really think this is too serious of a thread just because of some possible bias and there's no actual good way of having a best player list unless we get a showdown like ladder maybe. Ou is all about matchups, hence being able to beat the winner easily in an unofficial. Also helps that it was first round before anyone was able to scout
