Tournament rule Q:

3.1.4. Withdrawing from an Event Players choosing to withdraw from an event must inform the scorekeeper before the seatings for the next round are generated. Players leaving the tournament after the scorekeeper begins seatings for the next round receive a "Loss" in the upcoming round and will be removed from the event after that round. Does this mean that if someone withdraw before the final, that person is not replaced and thus only 4 people play in the final? Or will his/her seat be taken by the perosn who ended up 6th in total the previous rounds?

[ quoted text not captured ] Since the seating for the final cannot be determined without the participation of the five players in the final, the question is moot. If one of the finalists drops out before the final, then the 6th place player would be in the finals (and so on until five players are available - or 4 if only 4 players are left). -- LSJ (vte...@white-wolf.com) V:TES Net.Rep for White Wolf, Inc.
