Clan Wars Map Exhibition: Map Madness

Doublewide, on May 03 2015 - 18:42, said: I'm compelled to comment on this "rule violation" in the hope that, in the future, WG's Tourney/eSports department and admins can do the LOGICAL thing and either:   A -- Deny tournament approval for a team in violation BEFORE the tourney begins (Harsh, but fair.  No time and/or credits wasted by said team.) --or-- B -- Notify the team captain that a violation was reported, and simply EDIT the team's name at that point to bring the team into compliance.  (Requires a little effort, but can be done without alienating players/teams.)   ---Here's what happened:     Our team captain, mistakenly omitted the "Celts" tag/name from the actual team name.  Instead, he put Celts in the description portion of the entry form.   Since we had only a day's notice to find players and create the team, this mistake was overlooked by all of us before submitting the team for approval.   Out team was, in fact, APPROVED by the admins, and yesterday we began Round 1 of group play.   During our first battle--against a team that fielded 6 or 8 players--said team notified us in global chat of the "violation".  After the battle we tracked down the rule on the tourney web page, and realized the mistake.   With no indication from our first opponent that they would report us, and after discussing among ourselves how this "violation" IN NO WAY GAVE US AN ADVANTAGE over our opponents, we opted to play on in the group versus quitting then and there.  We finished with a respectable W/L record for the day and NOT ONE of the remaining teams we played remarked about the heinous "violation", nor were they negatively impacted IN ANY WAY by the "violation".   Today, our team captain was notified of the DQ for what amounts to a [edited] CLERICAL ERROR.   I and my team understand WHY the rule exists--it's a CLAN exhibition tourney--fair enough, but THERE IS NO ADVANTAGE given to us by way of this mistake.  IF we had, for example, violated tank/tier specific lineups where we ran extra OP tanks, or additional heavies when only a set number are allowed we would understand the LOGIC for the DQ.  We didn't do that.  We put our clan name in the WRONG BOX on the entry form.   You guys do good work, Hyp, and I/we enjoy participating in the events you produce, but how in the hell does THIS rule and its resulting DQ make ANY [edited] sense?!
