At Smash Royale (Biggest german smash tournament ever, 27.07.08 ) there was a little discussion about a new rule.
The reason for this discussion was Pamaro, a player from germany, who took like 20 minutes to decide a counterpick stage. Some players lost their concentration while waiting, so we decided to make a new rule for future german tournaments which limits the ammount of a time a player has to choose their counterpick.
JDs version was: The player has 2 minutes to choose a stage. If the player is not able to select a stage in these 2 minutes, the opponent is allowed to pick a stage.
In the Back Room of the german boards we decided to change it a bit:
Pamaros Stupid Rule:
The looser of the last match has 3 minutes to decide on a counterpick stage. If 3 minutes are over a stage will be choosen randomly.
The majority of german tournaments will most likely include this rule in their ruleset (super lion tournament 3, the next big tournament in france allready included PSR in their ruleset as far as i know, but i dont know which version) but i would like to have some feedback from more european players.
- 3 minutes too long or to short ?
- what about toilet or smoking breaks ?
- etc.
Please excuse my bad english >_>
