Approved Make Activating Sleep Clause in Nintendo Cup 1997 force forfeit

[Soda Eesti]

If at all possible i'd like to see this only apply to room tournaments and direct challenges, but if it would have to apply to ladder too, that works. o7

Let it be known this is how the format is played. This isnt a request to change sleep clause, rather make it tournament accurate and easier to understand. Many players complain about it not being automatic and a ton of newer players struggle to understand that the forfeit is EXCLUSIVELY on clause activation. This would solve both issues.

Question, just to clarify the wording: would the player automatically lose, or would they manually forfeit/leave the battle under "house rules"?

Im not sure i understand the question.

No the game wouldn't kick them out itself but its built into the format historically that they lose, if thats what you were asking.
