1. A player who got first round win, (Meaning 1-0) is able to get a walk over for round 2??
2. Tournament for over 150 pax only had a 4 round swiss and chose top 8 in total! (Do your math, at least 9 pax will have a full 4 wins. So at least 1 sad guy won everything, expected to get into finals, and somehow did not)
3. As above mentioned, 150 over opponents, only 4 rounds, and players can meet the same opponent?? (The regular faces in top of tournaments no less)
4. Reuse of charge of light brigade ruling fail!
Situation:
- Player used charge of light brigade, knowing he had 1 lightsworn left in deck. However, cost of sending 3 to grave threw out the last lightsworn to grave.
Judge's decision:
- All card effects must go through (Apparently never heard anything such as effect lost target and fizzle. Example cry of living dead monster got dd crowed, etc) - FAIL!!
Conclusion:
- The 3 cards for cost went back to the deck, and deck was shuffled. Meanwhile, Charge of light brigade goes back to hand for overpowered abuse...
Edit: Well I decided to mention here for some of the non locals who might not know the situation. As per every country, there are some clans (Well, group of friends more like it) and of course, the judges have their own clan as well with some player friends. Its pretty obvious what happened in point 1 & 3 above without me having to explain further I believe.
Well, thats about it for what I heard so far. My fellow blogger being on site will probably give more info later. He even has photos as proof. Worse is rumour has it our "professional" head judge will accompany our Singapore qualifier to Taiwan together. There should do something for our reputation.
PS: Above final sentence regarding reputation does not say for good or for worse in view of possible flaming session from concerned personnel in tag board later. But... Everyone should know what I mean, and personally; "Flaming session? Bring it on!!!"
