you don't accept barcodes?? how am I supposed to sign up then.. someone could be smurfing on any account regardless of what it is called. this rule seems stupid.
edit: name changes are invalid on barcode accounts so i'm stuck with the name anyway

The rule might be stupid but it makes the tournament management better, both for the other players, admins and casters.
As long as a |||||||||| player can be clearly identify from the administrative point of view (because there is cash prize and not just ladder rank points), I let the player enter with ||||, because it's not just denial of ||||| for the sake of it (We just try to be consistent and ease the process for everyone). Just by experience, I had several progamers trying to hide identity to swip the cash and screw the tournament, and I just want to allow transparency, fun and a good tourney, and nothing else.
I hope you understand the reasons I mentioned. If you have a |||||| and nothing else as an account we can always find a way (There was some players in the case of ||||||||||| and could not do otherwise, we found some solution for it, just contact me directly by email), so that's true for anybody else.
By the way guys thanks a lot for your motivation and determination!
Sincerely
Koreign

About smurfing, everyone can smurf on ladder for ladder points or ranks, fine. In tourney, when we have fixed ladder ranked imposed and cash, it is less desirable. It is not possible to check ||||| players rank accurately, which means that lower than diamonds is also possible (entry level now is master global).
I don't know if the real ID solve the problem to check ladder rank, since we cannot associate the characters on any servers with it, or can we ?
