So, we'll just make this quite official, then - and I think its a simple compromise that should keep all parties quite happy.
Teams in the final 4 portion of our tournament will have the option of 1) sticking with the original character selection rules or 2) going with the mirror match selection. Before teams start their games, they will briefly discuss the option they want to go with. If the teams do not agree, then they will stick the original demigod selection rules as listed in the rules and registration thread; however, once the teams have agreed on the character selection rules, they will stick with those rules for that match (eg either you stick with the old rules for the best 2 out of 3 or you stick with the mirror match rules for the best 2 out of 3). These rules apply for both the semi-finals and the finals.
That should hopefully take care of it.
The semi finals MUST be completed by Tuesday at midnight (or at least be in progress at that point). If you make it to the finals, you will be expected to play in the finals no later than Thursday at midnight. If the games have not taken place by that point, disqualifications will occur. Disqualifications will be determined based on teams making a logical effort to get their games in. Hoping you get your game in and not being willing to schedule will result in a disqualification if you do not meet those deadlines. The easiest way to avoid that is to simply speak with your team and make a post in the scheduling thread based on your availability. I'd hope to see a little more effort than "we hope everyone is on when we are" because if that is all the effort that is put into it, you will likely be disqualified. Avoid that by making an effort.
edit - and just another reminder, all teams MUST use the latest version of uberfix 1.03 for the semi-finals and finals - linky: http://uberfix.googlecode.com/files/Uberfix%201.03.exe
