it seems pretty straight forward in the rules that if a clan is found using rent-a-players or ringers that they will be removed from the tournament!! even on gb if a clan or group of people uses ringers, that clans roster is LOCKED and they cannot do matches. I myself play in gb but not on teams with a whole f****** website and forums and registration, i can come and go as i please. seems to me that Aiel should've been removed from the tournament as it states in the rule. IMO they knew what they were doing and they used that whole "merger" excuse as a way to get out of it. Whoever the winner of this tournament is will have a very hollow victory since three clans dropped out. I didn't even know what UF was when i first applied for this clan when a friend begged me to join, but i thought it was cool that a website stood for winning and not being dickheads and losing and not saying "were gonna say that we won". but i guess its still not the case and people still use shady tactics to get ahead. ha, good luck to the rest of the clans in the tournament.
