With regards the double substitution 'scandal': to make things clear, I suggested the DQ when I was made aware of the situation. The second sub would have been allowed under the stipulation that the opposing team agreed to the sub. However, this was only an unofficial rule that we as judges accepted on the basis of our preference that teams advance based on the results of a played match rather than forfeits.

As the opposing team was not made explicitly aware prior to the match, and were not asked explicitly if they were ok with it, and then lodged a protest following the match being played the only choice we had, per the official posted rules, was to DQ.

It's certainly been a learning experience for all of those involved with running the event, and I have a few rules-related areas I can see need to be tightened up and a few thoughts on better methods. One of the ideas I had during the event, to help with both scheduling and smaller rules breaches, was to implement a handicap penalty. Initially the idea arose simply to ensure matches ran smoothly. We had several cases where matches were started with incorrect settings. For a similar event in future I would suggest that if a team leader incorrectly lists a game and the game needs a restart as a result, the team that made the mistake be issued a 5 kill handicap. A similar system could be used for teams that arrive late for scheduled matches (5 kill handicap added for every 10 minutes, or part thereof, late). We could even have done this for teams requiring subs: 5 kill handicap for the first sub, 10 kill for the second (cumulative with the first, so 15 total).

Further changes I would look at for an X4 repeat, should anyone consider running one, include changing the Hero<->Villain equivalents. With Pain Domination coming in Issue 13, I would suggest the old Mastermind<->Tank no longer stands up and a much more sensible approach is Brute<->Tank, Scrapper<->Stalker, Controller<->Dominator, Corrupter/Mastermind<->Blaster, Mastermind/Corrupter<->Defender (last two are debatable).

I still think a forcing a rematch would've been a more reasonable action. As you've said yourself, loads of little rule breaks took place but those teams weren't DQ'd. It's not like FoTM tried to sneak these subs in, is it?

Totally disagree, i think KS's counter parts would still be spot on.

A stalker can't be compared to anything other than a blaster, yes it's melee but hidden spike damage is far grater than a scrapper. That getting changed puts the rest out of sync too.

The blame for all this lies totally and utterly with the judge that was informed.

For the judge who was aware of the 2 substitutions - it was their job to inform the other judges and the opposing team leader.

Official communication should be made through the judges as they need to be aware of what the team leaders have decided and they should be the ones checking the team lists to see what communications need to be made.

A disqualification for something that could have been cleared up before a match is a failing on the part of the judges - especially the judge that was informed of the situation.
