I can't particularly add anything to this that hasn't already been said, but what I can do is issue a final ruling in support of my staff and state that DSL-IRL will absolutely not be included in competitive challenge board matchups. Competitive DSL-IRL matches go specifically against the nature of what DSL-IRL building is all about, and will only lead to challengers pushing the limits of what is and isn't IRL, leading to further arguments down the line that I have no intention of dealing with and that I don't want my staff having to deal with.

Matches can be held in IRL style if people want to make cool RW/BB style matchups, but they will not count towards any official challenge points, titles, etc.


For once the mods did something right

It doesn't matter if the titles are backed by the staff, does it? Champions are still the champions according to the lineage of their respective titles.

the titles/challenge board were made by ianh, who wasn't actual staff at the time so you could just run the titles without admin approval at all

Hi Guys, regarding the feedback on the challenge belt system replacing the title system, I have now added a poll to the Challenge Belt thread for whether we should keep the title system. Please cast your vote!
