Since I posted last, I entered the 5k auto ABD tournament twice.
The first time, we were fighting, and with 200 frames or so left, I was clearly suplexing out, he saw the time, and spectated saying "Sorry, but I want to win the TC"
The second time, someone had like a minute thirty left, but saw I had the upper hand and spectated, saying "Sorry, but I want to be in the tournament", followed by the very next player who spaced his first
Turn, so I got a better grab and DMd him. He spectated saying nothing and re-entered. I ended up playing 3 matches before my first registered win for the tournament because spectating mid fight doesn't count as a loss and keeps me in Tori position and because the tournament doesn't start AFTER present match.
The annoyance could be fixed easily.
