Honesty for the most part, stops people from smurfing. The Vancouver scene is fairly active anyways, so you know roughly where all the regulars are. For the most part, there aren't that many borderline masters players anyways. From what I could tell, at the last few Vancouver tournaments I've been to, almost every single person in the Code S division would've won code A dropping one game at the most. The other non-cash prizes are most likely going to favour code S in terms of distribution. Personally, I just go to have fun, I realistically don't stand a chance of beating out the Vancouver GM's for a prize. | ||

Like Amui said, we are an active community and we know most of the regulars that come to the events. We also check the ranks before and after the games. The Code A and Code B players all get their distribution of cash prize, and there might be something like an intel i7 mixed in for the winners of both codes. Nothing is confirmed yet though. | ||

I think there are lots of terms for this, the one I like to use is "Sandbagging." You are correct that there is no way of us stopping players from doing this but this is why the prize is distributed the way it is. CODE S we can monitor because that's the best of the best and this is why we always reward them with greater prizes then CODE B and A. Furthermore players caught Sandbagging do get frowned upon and most likely will not be allowed for future events. We have a very good community here so this is not an issue we have encountered. | ||

If he does not then he will be placed accordingly to his other ranked games. | ||
