Guys theres no point going over this again, yes it shouldve been addressed weeks ago when the roster lock was put in place and i said about people who hadnt played in the tourney being able to play. However and in the nature of the tourney we will go with the majority and the majority have said the roster lock is in place from the start as in nobody else can join a clan half way through and play. Really i shouldve had the roster lock in from the start but it is what it is and its time to move on to the games
Any rule can be added/modified at any time as seen fit by the ones running the tournament. This rule exists to stop and punish potential exploitation of loopholes in current rules.
