The Storm in the East Tournament - Round 1

[H]

What's ironic in all this is that when I was reading the rules it NEVER occurred to me that anyone would surrender in a points based tourney - live and learn huh?

Yeah me neither, I expressed entirely different concerns to Raz at the start of this. I personally would fight to the last man in a tournament like this where the points matter so much. Even a handful of points could help later.

Out of curiosity, what concerns did you address - no need to answer if you don't want to -
