Re: What do you think about <G14> in eliminations?

What would you call it, then? G14 is clearly, as I see it, a rule that is attempting to create a certain behavior by teams. If this behavior is not properly adhered to, that team suffers a consequence. Other than the fact that the consequences apply in the next match, how is that different than any other rule, where I presume you would have no problem with those terms?

I do agree with your initial sentiments, though. People, please, when creating a poll, just post answers and perhaps "other". Posters here are perfectly capable of justifying themselves, and they may have reasons you didn't think of.
