I don't know how long people have been complaining about the tournament's current setup of "most wins" wins. Oh wait, ever since it came out! Right so here's some more input I have to offer into the already over flowing pool of complaints, bugs, and suggestions.

1. First off, WHY in the world do you guys update the news during a tournament? Don't you know it kicks EVERYONE off when you do one of your little updates? I was in the middle of a fight during a tournament, on my way to winning, and I get a disconnect. I try to log back on for 20 minutes. Luckily everyone else had the same problem so it didn't affect the tournament stance TOO much, although that win would've put me in the top 3 (instead I got 7th, with 5 other people matching my wins, the top 2 players had 6 wins each, I had 5).

2. People who tie for the tournament, yet do not make it to the top 3. This is an easy fix, give all tie breakers their freakin trophies. Why should someone with 5 wins get 2nd or 3rd place and the other 10 people with 5 wins get squat?

3. Tournament queues take way too long. Almost every game I'm staring at the screen for 5 minutes waiting for the fight to begin. This is a major problem since 1 minute can determine your final win or not. I miss out on at least 1-2 games just waiting for it to start, and those 1-2 games can determine if I make it to the top 3 or not.

4. The tournament ignores your final game. When the time is up, your game no longer counts. Even if you are on your very last move, about to win and get that top 3 position, but then crap, "The tournament is now closed." What gives? This makes no sense at all, every person on their last game should have it count towards their score. Calculations should THEN be assessed after all games are done.

5. People leaving at the very start of the fight. This counts as a win for the other person. It shouldn't. Both players should be locked into their fights, if someone decides to let the timer expire then they should get a penalty or disqualified.

6. Random disconnects. This greatly interferes with games everywhere for everyone, it's brought up countless times. You guys should be making enough money by now to upgrade your servers. I mean it struggles with only 1000 people connected... if it goes to 1200 you are sure to get disconnected rather often.

I had all these problems after playing only 2 tournaments. Both times I had a very good chance of making the top 3 but it was just one problem after another and it pisses me off, being a paying customer, to have to put up with this and get no response from Feerik, no updates, no fixes. I am sure everyone can agree that the current tournament system is FAIL.

By point:

1. I agree, this should--and could easily--be done during times when tournaments are not running.

2. I could take this idea or leave it. I'm not sure what criteria are used to break ties right now. I would like to see the criteria for how ties are broken.

3. I have no idea how this could be fixed, but it IS annoying.

4. I can see counting the last game or ignoring it. Either way seems to be a viable option, as long as everyone knows about it ahead of time.

5. I think the penalty for leaving immediately is harsh enough. Do it twice in a tournament, and your fairplay is low enough that you can't get back in until you play a game or two in another room.

6. Amen. Preach it, brother. This is the single biggest issue I have with the game. The disconnect problem is so significant that I'm logging all my freezes and DC's, so the devs can see exactly how bad the problem is.

1. I agree with you.

2. The tie breaker is your win%. In case of still a tie there is also another,hidden, tie breaker which i don't know of, and i would really like to know what it is.

3. It may be just a coindence there is nobody there free to play against you. Or maybe the engine that matches players is not working properly. Who knows?

4. I agree with you.

5. The player can't be punished if another one decides to leave. Although i do believe it should only count if at least the characters are selected on Turn 1. This is the sort of problem that happens when you make a TCG tourny based on speed run.

6. I agree with you.
