like i said, im not commenting on the actual issue that incom brought up cus i can see both sides of that issue and havent really come to a conclusion that id be willing to defend about it.
But youre acting like your (apex tourney committee) decisions and ideas are the same as everyone elses when its clear that your opinions matter more because you are the ones setting the standard that everyone that wants to attend your tournament has to abide by.
You can say that youre not forcing your rules upon anybody else but you are, even if its not directly.
Youre having this massive tournament. Everyone that has ever played smash is going to want to be there. and everyone wants to do well and play their best. how do you do that? you practice. And the best, maybe the only way to practice for apex is to use the apex rules. And whats the best way to practice for a large scale tournamet? to have a smaller tournament, and in order to practice in tournament the best way possible, you have to use the big tourney rules for your tournament.
thats not even an assumption or an extrapolation. thats fact, and I know weve both seen it happen.
so to say that youre not forcing people to alter their rules for your tournament, despite the fact that you really arent doing it directly, is still a huge cop out
