LR: PACT 3 Rules

[NiX]

I didn't take too much of a liking to the new way of scoring matches. On paper it sounds swell, but yesterday it showed a side of itself that we may not have anticipated: it kills the excitement. Like say for example, your opponent won once, and you won the next round. Let's say he has something of a lead like 4234 AP. Once your life goes down that number the match is as good as over, and there's really no more point to continue.

This is not to mention that while it does provide for an advantage to players who attack, the actuality of it is that few actually do, for fear of having their AP lead or their chances of catching up erased. Less action, more... hiding.

I suggest for future PACTs, we reinstate the regular way of counting wins.

That's how Tim and I felt too.

I think the best format we've used so far was the one in PACT 3 Part 1, complete with an actual losers bracket.
