Here's the problem with that... users register for the event, then change their alias on Battle.net, thus being assigned a new character #. For security reasons, once someone signs up, we don't allow them to change their alias / information (this protects the players), and requires an admin to make a change should one occur. With a ton of players signed up, even if an admin handles EVERY request in an extremely timely manner, there's still a chance a player's information may not be updated before their next match.
The Real ID never changes, and is independent of character name or ID #. Thus, we've instituted the Real ID as the only identifier of the player for the event.
We've tried both ways in the past, and the Real ID works far and away much better than alternative methods.

You know theres a problem with that, cause you know me and kawaiirice were big name players here, so our friends list is full. this popularity is sometimes worse than good, let me just get DRG and MC's opinion on this.
all jokes aside though, i hate removing people ;____________;
