Hello, I guess this is the place that I would post this? I am decent with grammar and english skills, but I know some of you folks here are true wordsmiths
There are some sections of my rules for a ladder/tournament that I need help re-wording to make more sense. Please if you are interested give this a read and post anything that you think needs clarification.
Once I have found the places I think need the most work I will isolate them in a secondary post in this thread and we can work on them together!
Thanks to anyone with time to help in advance!
