Need input on tournament rules
So pretty soon we're going to start doing tournaments. I've got a list of rules from d2jsp that look decent, ive changed them slightly to work better for a 1v1 tournament here. Looking for input if anything should be changed for these rules to be tailored specifically to annihilus, or if there's anything obvious missing from them.
We will do 2v2+ tournaments as well, I just want to start with 1v1 for now.
