Well, I've stated some before. My personal opinion is that - I am much more inclined to allow players who are proven to be apart of the community like SoulmanSPR than towards a player who has just begun to intiate as part of the community. To me, 100 ladder games is an indication that a player is initiating to become part of the community, but 100 ladder games is far too less to prove that this player is/will continue to be part of the community. 100 games is achievable in a couple of days, to say this is proof of community involvement is an exaggeration.

I certainly don't disagree with "admin discretion". Because admin discretion is necessary for situations where a brain is going to be more useful than written words. However, I am disagreeing with this 100 games rule as the future standard.

Hence, if my suggestion would be the "invite-only" system where admins invite players of their own accord with announcement of why they are invited if they are not SEA regulars. This makes things alot more transparent.

Please keep in mind that I have absolutely no opinion of whether SEA tournaments should expose to the world/foreign players or not, I simply wouldn't care if SEACL was open to foreigners (probably great exposure/challenge as said) - But if we are going to keep the event specifically for SEA - Then yes these grounds rules needs to be set. It further doesn't bother me whether I play a SongheeSPR or BalloonSPR if I do get to play in the SEACL (In my current condition I'd be lucky to take a game off anybody). The only reason I am on this issue is because of politically correctness, and not wanting for SEA to sound/look hypocritical in how we handle things.
