Additions to the rules by the tournament direction

Offensichtliche Sandbagger schmeiße ich raus und sie dürfen nie wieder mitspielen, denn das ist nicht Sinn dieses Turnieres.

Bitte achtet darauf, dass ihr auch zu Beginn des Turnieres den Wertungsbereich nach oben einhaltet.

Ich versuche lediglich es dadurch für die weiteren Turnierteilnehmer fairer zu gestalten.

Danke und beste Grüße
