New Rules For Online Fighting Tourneys To Stop Collusion

By David West

After some very bad press from collusion during fighting tournaments, but highlighted in the main stream press with the Olympics Badmitton scandal, a number of tournament organizers have agreed to standardize their rules in order to prevent the method of cheating.

Players would specifically lose to get better draws, or to play in the losers brackets. In addition, rumors of under the counter payoffs in these tourneys to lock out competitors and to add to overall world rankings have been hinted at among many. This taint is beginning to harm the reputation of tournaments offering prizes for winning.

Lagspike.tv wishes other tournaments would write rules to prevent this blatant exploiting.
