To clear up the subject, a match is a BO3.

Being able to play multiple races in a single series nothing to look down upon or to obstruct with a ruleset. I've always been lead to understand a Bo3 is a match and each individual map is a set. That's how it always was on GomTV. Blizzard should really clarify. A Bo3 is a set of matches/maps. Think of it as a set of adorable tea cups. One cup does not make a set. I think youre wrong man. Think of it in terms of tennis for example; there are many games played, but only one match. Its the same with starcraft. Thats also why it says you have to tell the tournament organizer which race your going to play before map selection, which is what the early ban/pick phase is called before any games are played.
Sure but I was aiming at the believe that "each individual map is a set" and didn't really think about the "match".

I'm pretty sure that if you fund, organize and promote an event, you have a fairly strong case for making the rules for said event.

Good. While it was fun reading that IdrA "werent loss" it's not needed at all. Take that shit out of the game and bring it to twitter or something, so i've got stuff to read between games.

A centralized organization (Blizzard in this case) isn't "attempting to tell others what is appropriate and what isn't", they're explaining to us how they're going to run their tournaments (played in their game) and how the people participating, in one way or another, in their tournaments, competing for their money or being paid with their money, are expected to behave. There is nothing about what is appropriate and what isn't in the document, they're only explaining, quite clearly, what they won't accept. I realise that you may consider this a fine line, but still.
As for the rules themselves, you didn't actually explain what parts are ridiculous or why.

But they weren't telling others what is appropriate, they were telling others what is appropriate in their tournament. I don't see the ridiculousness.

Is random a race?

I'm kind of fine with most of the rules except the no chat thingy. If that was strictly enforced at every tournament then we wouldn't have had some awesome banter like PartinG vs sOs at Red Bull Battlegrounds final. I hope it will be used more as a sort of guideline and not a strict rule in that regard.

He'll stand up the booth, hold his hand up, palm out, and all the bullets from the stimmed bio will clatter to the ground, the forcefields will evaporate and the mutas will crash to the ground. Then Dustin Browder will charge up on stage and start raining blows on him at supersonic speed, only for the chosen one to easily deflect them using only a single hand.

That's kind of why I've never really been crazy about the whole concept of a full time professional gaming scene. It turns something that should be fun and somewhat frivolous into something all together too serious and anxiety-ridden.
There is a reason why HSC has the best LR threads, no one gives a fuck and everyone is just having fun.

does this mean Nerchio's in trouble?

I'm more worried about the chat regulations and victory celebrations. I have a feeling that the MC/Parting like ceremonies and banters will be reduced, which will really take way the entertainment value of the SC2
