Once a tournament has been created, room drivers (and higher) have the ability to edit the tournament name. I can understand that, in some cases, the ability to edit the tournament name would be passable, such as:
(1) To add details otherwise not possible (Example: C&E, Chessmon, Foodmon)
(2) To add some fun (Example: Metronome Monday Gen 8 Metronome Battle)
However, I note with concern instances where tournament names are being manipulated in unacceptable ways. They are renamed in such a way to either:
(1) Cast doubt about their nature (Example: I saw a tour being named Maybe Gen 7), or
(2) Be blatantly misleading and/or incorrect (Example: I saw a Gen 7 OU tour being renamed Gen 6 OU)
Result: This manipulated name carries on throughout the duration of the tournament.
I consider this practice immoral and completely unnecessary, specially towards:
(1) New players who trust what is being placed before their eyes (but are left lied to)
(2) Players who join a tournament for a specific format they like (only to realise that this was not the format they were thinking)
(3) Players who join a tournament late, thinking they made it just in time (only to realise they have no team for the format which was advertised)
I am appealing for:
(1) Room staff to be made to understand that they should stop this abusive practice
(2) Removal of the ability to manipulate tournament names (or at least granting this power to the very highest auths only)
