no breaks in play, automatic disqualification, one time out per team between sets; as you know, bladder control is one of the key elements in successful competition staring. as the higher seeded team, the white shirts are allowed to dispense with the suit and tie, the highest seeded individual is also allowed to dispense with eye glasses, thereby diminishing visual acuity and blink propensity. the lowest ranked competitor (Blue suit #2) has no ranking points and not allowed any visual distractors. note the clever game play by Blue suit #1, having forgone a higher stack of paper for the gold tipped pen. if the White shirts prevail in the semi, the Grand master will have accumulated enough bonus points and be allowed to use a Maneki Neko in the final (best of 5 sets).
