This isn't a 'harcore' tournament, this tournament it to promote the gaming club at UCO. And in that case, it makes sense.
I never said I wanted a "hardcore tournament" did I? I just want to compete without randomization. Hosting a tournament where certain individuals are excluded is not the way to go. Just my opinion though.
I am 100% under the impression this event STARTED totally open, and at a very late stage, that rule had to be put into place. Please do not heckle event coordinators on this issue; it's not the first, and it won't be the last time a College Event has rules like this. Colleges do private events all the time due to funding issues, legal issues with using college funding for non-students, etc. Man, TU used to host all these Soul Calibur tournaments in Tulsa and wouldn't let any real players in
OKgamers will also go officially on record as saying this: while no rules were broken, OKgamers.com cannot in good conscience support/promote an event that is not a public event. OKgamers Provides a Free Not-For-Profit Public Service to the Oklahoma area community, however the events posted usually are public accessible. For the future we'd ask that all events that our posted to OKgamers.com be open access to the public. We know no real harm was ever intended, and rest assured OKgamers staff will do our best to make these standards clear and concise for future event coordinators and business owners.
