Yes? Obviously.

I don't think this is obvious at all. That's why we have 4 pages of discussion here, 9 in the other thread, and links to other places discussing the subject across the web.

It's not obvious to a lot of people that the Tau firebase shouldn't allowed.....I don't think that reflects well on those people.

"Give D a chance"

Is the triple entendre phrase of the year.

But when chase starts talking "everything should be allowed in doubles tournaments" I get worried.  My main doubles buddy has a baneblade.....still worried.

Doubles are where I think it's fine to let all sorts of things come out to play.  It's been successful for us from day one.  People like them BECAUSE they can expect to bring goofy shit.

1000 point lists.  Deep breaths.  Relax.

Wow, this is significant....   the upcoming Las Vegas Open (first big GT of 2013) polls its attendees and, based on results, decides to nuke most of the "new different stuff" and also nerfs 2+ rerolls a bit.

I really think that's the only way it COULD go.  Keep in mind these are the same folks that ALWAYS allow forgeworld.

How could they always allow FW if this is the first year of the LVO?

Bay Area Open.  Reecius runs that, and a bunch of other west coast tournaments.  He must be, I think, the closest to having made an actual business out of running tournaments.  (he also has a game store)

Far as I know, he uses the same rules for all them.  He's sorta responsible for why FW gets used a lot more on the west coast.

It's frontline gaming, they have run a bunch of GT's for a long time.  THis is just the first one in Las Vegas.
