Re: Challenging Matches
I don't know how technically feasible it is given the audio/video systems at each event and the amount of time between matches, but generally I support challenging calls with instant replay. I'd rather play 8-9 matches where I know the calls will be made correctly than 11-12 matches where it's a toss up and nearly impossible to challenge calls that can drastically affect your ranking.
(those numbers are just guesses as to how the amount of time to replay calls might slow competition)

After all, it only takes one close loss to knock you out of the top 8. (I should know, 701 ranked 9th at CVR)

I understand the need to challenge calls and use video evidence, but I'd prefer it be something more reliable than someone's cell phone recording.
