Releasing Tournament Replays

[TinCow]

I've had this discussion with many people over the last few days. For The Tosa Cup, everyone was asked to save all of their replays. This was for two reasons: (1) To resolve any arguments about a game if that happened or a loss wasn't properly reported, and (2) to provide entertainment for spectators. Yesterday, there was a large discussion in the Org Steam group chat room and the majority were in favor of releasing all replays after the end of each round (i.e. Release Round 1 after the end of Round 1, etc.). Today, other people who were not in that discussion are very much against this, and want replays released only after the entire tournament has been run. Both sides have good arguments, opinion seems relatively evenly split, and I do not have the MP experience to feel comfortable making this decision unilaterally. As such, I am going to open this up for a discussion and vote. One final note is that I have been doing my best to collect all the replays I can from everyone. However, we all know the game is buggy and some people have ended up with corrupted 1k saves for some matches and some have forgotten to save them for a specific round. Thus, it is impossible for me to get a complete set of all games played, regardless of all other factors.

Please comment on this issue and vote in the poll above. I will delay the scheduled release of the Round 1 replays for 24 hours to allow for this discussion.
