Mossy is at issue with a ruling
In Seena's T8 matchup, he had to go to the bathroom in between matches. He probably was gone maybe 3 minutes. BDS made a ruling (which I believe was correct under the floor rules) that if the match went to time (which is almost impossible to NOT happen in a 2/3 format) that Seena would lose. In the 3rd game, Seena was up 5-0 in prizes with very short time left on the clock. His opponent COULD have stalled him out, but chose not to and Seena was able to collect his final prize.
I've got an issue with this ruling. I think the floor rules need to be changed. When you're playing an elimination matchup that lasts an entire hour and you've got to go to the bathroom, you should be able to get an extension equal to the ammount of time you're gone. This doesn't need to be the case in swiss rounds, as there are a ton more people and you don't REALLY need a bathroom break because the rounds are half as long. The fact that Seena could be 1-1 in the series and be up 5-0 in prizes but still lose gives a HUGE edge to the other player, especially because the game will probably be on short time to begin with.
I don't see any negatives of giving an extension for time spent going to the bathroom. Lets be realistic here, its SotG and everyone knows it :smile:
