I don't think it's fair if someone already won an invitation to play again. like wtf, what if they win again?!?

The thought is by the time the last couple qualifiers come around, the talent pool will be significantly thinned if invite holders can't participate. If you win a qualifier with the best 10 players not allowed to play, did you really deserve that invite?

I think the system sort of corrects itself though, since there's not a ton of incentive for invite holders to compete in every qualifier given the small prizes

yea I guess your right. But what if they win again? Do they get a second invite? or do third place and second both get invites and 4th gets a reserve ticket?

My issue with invite holders being allowed to play again is that my chances of not playing in the tournament stays the same. Yesterday Bowser, Joey and myself didn't even make it into the first 32. The registration system cancels out the opportunity for good / invite-deserving players to get into the tournament. 

 

If you're not going to change the invite holder rule, then bring back the old system where you guarantee the first 10 reserves of the previous tournament a place in the next one.

100% agree with the last part there, I thought that was a good system

Due to the popularity of the last tournament series we will not be allowing players who already have an invite to participate in the subsequent qualifiers. This does not include RESERVE invite holders.

 

Thank you, I honestly believe this is a beneficial change for the betterment of the series finale. Good luck to future players. 

what was the interrest to stack the invites? :)
