I don't see how this is really an issue, we made an executive decision to help us make sure the matches stayed clean. But if there is something against this I was unaware.

I think back judges are a good idea but if it wasn't done throughout the entire tournament it shouldn't have been done during eliminations. Eliminations should be called exactly the way qualifications were.
