[QUOTE="Lady Diamond, post: 27256, member: 216"] I saw two Master Judges and a Journeyman judge puttin' on an exhibition of the higher tiers following the new rules and it seemed to go without a hitch *shrug* With what you proposed you'll have to monitor every match and choose every Master Judge since you'll be the only one left at a higher rank when all the Masters are dropped to Journeymen, lots of work for you. I can also see that this will make sure that all the new Master judges are active.. at least at the start. I'm not sure it really depends on how much you play, but how much you [b]read[/b] and keep up on things that makes a person an effective judge, plus that ability to "drop the hammer" and drop that last flag in a match.. I've seen a few matches get hung up over this. Oh yeah, and the ability to not show (or harbor) favoritism to one fighter or the other. That sounds pretty important to me. As far as advancing fighters go, that happens at the end and the judge has plenty of time to compare the fighters' current standings and read up on the new advancements for all the tiers. Everything's going to be "complex" right out of the starting gate. I'd prefer to have at least a couple of the "Ancient Masters" (heh) still left at that Master rank after the reset. three cents this time..*clink*clink*clink* :) [/QUOTE]
