A.- Revisions, April 14, 2022
1.- The following rule was added to Playing Community-Run Tournaments, section B, point 8:
1.- Exception to the rule: "Throwing games, or deliberately benefiting from thrown games, is forbidden." Since any tournament can be seen as one big game, game play in an individual game that may have been considered "game throwing" may be considered acceptable in a tournament if the actions taken by the player can be reasonably thought to have been able to benefit them in the tournament.
2.- It is not allowed to use this exception to manipulate the main scoreboard of a series of tournaments and/or events.
This should have deserved an announcement post in the tournament section, as far as I can see in this tournament section this was not done.
And it would probably have deserved an announcement section in the main CC announcement section since it is actually a major rule change for tournament
And you should probably have let the C&A team be made aware of that. You changed the rule in April 2022, I found a C&A in July 2022 where a player was warned for this exact offense.

So, how can you suddenly change a rule that has been largely debated in C&A in many threads already and was therefore admitted by C&A and known to players ?
Furthermore, fyi, that'll just personally make me stay away of tournament as much as I can.
I was leading a tournament, got 3 games to finish.
In one of them 2nd ranked player is winning, I am winning in the other 2 ( one is fog so we don't know really knowf or sure, one is sunny).
I don't suicide in the game where the 2nd ranked player is winning because I am aware of the "old" rule.
The 2nd player suicide into me in the 2 other games, making me lose tons of points ( 13 player games ) while he also lost both games since he suicided but it was "tournament move".
I finally win the tournament on tie-breaker ruler
But was a fucking nightmare to play 3 games for one month ( 30 round limit and nuclear/zombie game) and just be suicided into two of them on the last round.
Awesome tournament experience.
