A Tournament Organizer makes his own rules out of nowhere ... need help from a rioter

So basically me and my friends were in a tournament. Sadly in our group 3 Teams did go 3:1, but just 2 could make it out of groups so the tournament Organizer just came up with a rule which wasnt written down in the rules of it.. so i basically dont know what to do because in my opinion its unfair and if a host cant be fair and competitve there is something wrong.I just want to contact a Rioter to help us and give all the competitors a chance to win which doesnt exist at the moment. tl:dr: Poorly organized tounament, with an host who makes his own rules out of nowhere.

What was the rule? I think with ties they usually let the teams that win the fastest move forward.

yeah he used that rule but it wasnt written down in the rulebook evryteam agreed to so it feels kinda weird since the other teams were friends with him but idk

I understand that you're upset, but I think that's actually in Riot's general tournament rules for that kind of bracket. Anyway, it doesn't sound to me like you were cheated out of your win, but I do understand that it's frustrating to get knocked out for a rule you didn't know about in advance.

Something about tournaments in general, is that the rules have to be a living document out of necessity. It sucks that you lost, but the nature of tournament rules is that sometimes they have to change. I agree that the lack of planning for an eventuality of three teams going 3:1 is poorly thought out. Furthermore, unless they were doing it to benefit a friend, I doubt Riot would even pull their free RP awards. Riot can't afford to sift through every complaint of a tournament irregularity, and even if they could, it's not really their business, again, assuming there's no misappropriation of RP.
