What do you think about <G14> in eliminations?

[Cory]

I dislike G14 no matter when it is applied, but if it's going to be applied in the elims I'd have made all G14 violations reset at the end of each round of the elims.

ie: you beat the tar out of your opponent 150-40 in QF1-3. You do not get penalized for SF1-1.

FIRST Q&A says the ONLY matches where <G14> cannot be applied are the first match and the surrogate match. The <G14> cell modification rule even extends from qualification into the elimination matches!

David, I know that. I just meant that if I had a say, that's what I'd do.

We took the approach in eliminations (and in qualifiers, for that matter) that G14 didn't matter, and we wouldn't think about it. When you get to the eliminations, all that matters is wins and losses, and you don't have the time to think about trying to keep the score close. Just go out there and compete 100%, all the time. If you get a G14, it means you won, and that's what matters in an elimination series.

We received one G14 in New Jersey. In qualifying match #31 we were ahead by about 40 points and our HP scored 2 Super Cells and sank them both. Our HP lost both of the Super Cells for the next match. We still won.

In qualification matches G14 doesn't really matter. For the most part, in the next match they only punish the offending team and even then I only know of one team (ours) that score 2 Super Cells in the Same Match with The Same HP.

In Elims it CAN be a killer if you triple. But that's only if you need Super Cells to win.

I agree.

Just play it one match at a time, the goal is always to win that match.
