I dont think you properly understand how tournaments work, so I will give an explination that a Xsketch mod can understand.

This is copy and pasted from a message I sent to TCS.

Ok so last night I was in the Monday 500 with 25 other people. It was going smoothly untill I was sat with "yougruesomehare" Holyharlequin
was sitting at our table, along with kekse. Out of the 26 origional players, i think 14 remained or something along those lines.
I think it was a 625 point table (meaning anyone with less than 625 points could be eliminated). At the time I had something
like 142 points (not very much at all). Yougruesomehare was in first (at the table) and there fore ruled the table, and he decided
to kill kekse (he had like 450 points.) He killed him and i got fourth for TWO main reasons.

The first being that if you know anything about KDICE tournaments, theres a type of "tourny strat" where depending on how
many points the person you eliminate from the tourny has, that changes how many points you receive for the win. (So
obviously killing someone with more points gets you more points for being first at the table.) So in the scenario, he received 300 of kekse's points for killing him, and would have only received 90 points for killing me.

There is also another part of tourny strat where you want to eliminate players to get closer to the payout. In this case both kekse and I had less then 625 points, meaning both of us could be eliminated. I think you can see that it was indeed the correct tourny strat to
kill kekse. I think that her accusation of PGA came from a lack of knowledge of the game on her end, because I am most
certain neither of us had any intentions of cheating.
I know you need to speak to another MOD first, but to be frank, I literally did nothing wrong. I would appreciate it
if you could help me out. I'm stuck in Baltimore for the next 3 days, I'm under 21 and its raining (heh) and would love to be able to play a few games so I dont die of extreme boredom.

I'm a paying member, cmon.... I should atleast get banned for actually doing something wrong, ya dig?

regardless, i don't think a mod should be able to ban while she is in the tournament playing. seems like a conflict of interest to me. like even Ryan did it once and said he felt bad so meh idk i guess it was trendz so who cares

btw, not lying...last nite i had a dream i was tlking to Ryan on the phone lol thats pathetic yet very true

trendz is right in that he was unjustly banned.

holyharlequin is right in that banning trendz is a good and just action.

So since you are both right lets not do anything more and just move on, and but not do anything I mean don't unban trendz.

I don't go behind other mods and I have no knowledge of this event.....sorry.

Everyone knows I hate tournies and that the play allowed/expected is extremely douchey and allows for PGA to be easily defended and called "tourney strat".

For what it's worth I've seen the situation you are talking about happen literally hundreds of times and it sucks every time I see it. But I wasn't present to witness it. Holy was. So it's really up to her.
