Tournaments & '5 min prior to start' request

Every tourney page has the following request listed:
'please enter room 5 min prior to start'
Note, this is NOT a RULE, it's a REQUEST
There are many good reasons that the above statement is a polite request to players, rather than a military-style rule.
A rule implies punishment to those who do not follow it to the letter. A request, on the other hand, politely stresses that there will be no price to pay other than possible non-participation in a tourney.
In GC view, our TDs are trying all they reasonably can to start tourneys on time.

At GameColony.com you can play games of skill only -- play for free or play for $prizes!.
According to the statutes of most states in the United States, gambling is defined as: "risking something of value upon the outcome of a contest of chance". (Also see No Gambling!). The skill (as opposed to chance) is predominant in games of skill. Playing games of skill for $prizes, therefore, has nothing to do with gambling as it is not a contest of chance -- the more skillful player will win far more often. The chance element of a 'gamble' is either insignificant or missing. When players compete in tournaments or games of skill for $prizes -- it is "competitive entertainment" rather then "gambling". The more skilled winner will always win more matches, tournaments and $prizes.
