So I had a chance to talk with Dance210 and Yoott last night, reminiscing of old times and rage sessions. I mentioned some of the things happening to tournaments today and Dance reminded me of her version of the battle shares system. At first I couldn't remember her putting something so mind numbingly stupid into tournaments back then but it eventually did come back to me. During one of the March Mapness tournaments she either decided to or was forced to institute a minimum number of battles played in order to qualify your account for your team's rewards. We couldn't remember exactly how many it was but it was fairly low. Basically show that you're there for a couple battles and you're good.
Jambo if you're going to insist on having this [edited][edited]retarded god awful and utterly unneeded shares system, at least do it in a way that doesn't screw over the players. For a round robin tournament of say 6 battles, have the minimum battles needed to qualify be like 2. We have enough to worry about playing these jokes you call tournaments to have to deal with this ill conceived and ultimately consumer unfriendly system.
