However this does not mean that we cannot question or challenge the decisions made. Arguments and precedence raised by myself and others have created plenty of plausibility to bring this event into discussion. Further this discussion is far more beneficial than it is damaging to the prospect of future tourney operations.

There should always be a channel to appeal, discuss and challenge, I am doing this through the forum, in polite way that is not breaking any rules. This isn't an aristocracy, lay off the Admin is GOD notion.

Also, just because a map was played that a player really dislikes (say Metal for me and Iaguz, thumbs down for the last year). Doesn't mean we get to choose to not play it because if the map played is within the map pool/rules of the tournament, we have no choice but to play it, there is NO possibility for a disagreement to not play that map. I'm also cynical about just how much you really understand the importance of a map is to us players.

I play the game just as much as anyone else in this forum, if not more. Of course I understand the importance of maps, and to be honest, my knowledge of maps isn't really that relevant. I know enough about the maps to be able to argue my opinion and justify my views.

I also agree that there should always be a chance to appeal, but only to a certain extent. It is beyond the chance of re game now, yet we are still arguing for it. If it is beyond a re game, why not try and discuss how to ensure the same event doesn't occur again?

Regarding the precedence and previous cases: None of them were really that relevant. Sure they resulted in a regame, but the circumstances differed by an incredible amount, and the admins cannot make decisions based on insufficiently relevant precedence. I understand where you are coming from, and what you are trying to argue, but I don't think you have enough evidence.

I may be totally out of line here, and if I am I apologise, but this is my opinion. As for the outcome, we don't have much of a say. I believe the admins are making a post tonight about the game? If this is the case, I will await their verdict.

I would not call this an argument as everybody has been very sensible and polite in this thread, throwing in very good arguments that all have merit. My creation of this thread has 3 main purposes, I will list them in terms of the priority I see them:

1) To bring the scenario to awareness, so that we can discuss it, and avoid it in the future.
2) I felt like Iaguz got the short end of the stick here, he deserves at least a voice and an appeal, which is what this is.
3) To argue a logistic question - a point raised by Tgun/Xeen, when we start sidestepping and breaking rules to accomodate for things on discretion, where does it end? How professional is this? (Legitimate question, not being sarcastic).
4) For abit of drama, because it isnt SC2SEA if there isn't some now and then.

So as you can see, my main focus is the same as yours. Its mainly -> What should happen in the future? However we must first discuss "What should have happened?" and "What is going to happen now?" before we can set in stone exactly what we will do in the future.

FYI : http://www.sc2sea.com/showpost.php?p=87101&postcount=5 clearly shows my focus isn't on securing a regame, but moreso on discussion and prevention.
