At-large qualifying duels may be fought to any standards acceptable to both players... There are no limitations to PRT or LRT.

CA PRT seems potentially much stronger than any other in a duel. I see unclearness in how statements above with this.
Will everyone play CA? Will people ban CA from their individual duels? Is CA not as hot as I think it is in a duel?

If it's a tournament and one option is stronger than the others, I'd go for the stronger option unless I knew for sure that my opponents wouldn't.
In this case, if the 2 finalists are CAs then the winner will still be proud of their victory. I wouldn't want to be one of the roadkill that got crushed on their way to the final just because I didn't take the "easy" option.
Either ban CA (which would be my preference) or assume that everyone else will choose it. If you are confident that your SD (or whatever) can beat everyone else's CA then go ahead - you will feel even better about your victory if you win.

chagarra, I'm curious, you played the most (recorded) duels, how many times did you play CA? And/or if you don't want to answer that: how many CA's did you came across?
|
I suggest a qualifier to that question for better results.
How many duels were played with CA not being banned and of these how many had a CA?
(I believe CA tends to be banned as part of duel negotiations)

I have played CA 3 times, 2 wins and the last marathon capitulation to mazda after 94 turns.

Which was to an IT.
BTW, didn't you play CA against me in our first duel as well ?
(in "last years" tournament)
I've only played 6 duels, and only faced 2 CA's (assuming I'm right about the above statement).
The competition ran fine last time with no restrictions.
There will always be best/easiest race to play.
If you ban CA, then that makes JoaT top of the pile.
I suspect that the players who are good enough to win the competition won't use a CA.
