The basic problem with "pay to achieve victory" schemes is that if it turns out you met a losing condition, you've lost all your stuff. I just thought of a solution though, which is to let the cleanup procedure cancel the victory. Not great, but cleaner than any other option I can think of. > > > Amend Rule 2464, "Tournaments", by changing the text "win the game" to > > > "achieve victory by Contest". > > I just noticed a bug in Tournaments: It has a provision for when a > tournament concludes with no winner, but nothing actually says that a > tournament concludes when someone wins!
