Rule Changes!!!

Morning/Afternoon/Night everyone, I've recently made some minor changes to the general tournament rules section as followed.

Protection Stacking Rule

Previous:
You may only stack 2 of the following powers together at any given time.
Triton Song, Kraken Lament, Leviathan's Call, Valor's Shield, Valor's Armor, Valor's Fortress, Walk in Darkness, Black Fog.

NEW:
You may only stack 2 of the following powers together at any given time.
Triton Song, Kraken Lament, Leviathan's Call, Valor's Shield, Valor's Armor, Valor's Fortress.

Reasoning for the change
After the test tournament we found a common issue with Bucklers struggling just a bit more then they needed to because of just not giving them the ability to use shields, etc. The plan was to either ban scratch or simply remove the hidden off the list. Obviously we all can agree which choice was better. This should help Bucklers deal with bomb spam and scratch abuse just a tad bit more.

Team PvP Scratch Ban

NEW:
Old Scratch is BANNED in 2v2-4v4

Reasoning for the change
We didn't want to limit many things if we could avoid it. But scratch is a big disturbance for team pvp play. It limits play styles by miles. It forces us to choose between limiting multiple different powers in a unique but weird and confusing way or just out right Ban this fella' from team play.

We also wanted to canter towards YOU GUYS and your ideas. We had multiple groups of people inform us of there opinion on this rule before we even began our first tournament but with the upcoming 2v2 tournament we're going to just avoid any possible double privateer scratch bomb spam gimmicks. This should help make double class strategies a bit more balanced instead of bias'd.

Hope to see you guys participate in the upcoming tournaments this Saturday! Make sure to keep an eye out for there announcement in the upcoming next few days!
