How come overtime games in the group stage are declared wins?
"Fights are limited to 15 minutes in the first round, after that fighting will cease and a tie will be declared. (16.1, 16.2 still apply here)"
Now 16 gives rules for the elimination rounds, why are they applying it to the group stage?

So lemonde can change the rules whenever he feels like it?

I did and no they haven't. 16.1 and 2 are only for the elemination rounds, they are not applicable in the group stages. Refering to them in 15 doesnt change that.

no they are not just for the elimination rounds as the text under 15 states (they STILL APPLY here).
The only chance for a tie in a group game is when a) both sides have the same amount of ships AND b) both sides have the same shipsizes left.
Its like boxing, technical K.O.
If there was no difference between the first round and the elimination round on they would just have written one rule on games going overtime simply stating that games running out of time would be won by the one with the most ships left. They clearly wrote different tie rules for the elimination round because you can't have a draw in elmination rounds (wich wouldnt be a problem in group stage).
Btw repeating yourself till your blue in the face doesnt help either, 1.6. concerns elimination rounds, you cannot "still apply" something in a case it never was applicable to start with.

The difference between the group rounds and the elemination rounds is obviously that you get multiple matches and not just an "either or".
Rulewise the rules clearly state in which case a tie is possible (only in the group rounds if 16.1 and 16.2 fit) while in the extermination rounds 16.3 will follow and lead to a decision.
In short, group matches theoretically have a slim chance to produce a draw whereas elemination rounds will always produce a winner.
Thats not repeating over and over the same thing its just reading and repeating what the rules state (and how they are handled by lemonde).
Since no playing team so far had issues with this i sense your altpost is only to stirr trouble.
If showing CCP can't even write and interpret rules for a simple tournament is stirring trouble you are right.
Other then that I think there is no point in discussing further as you keep ignoring the fact that the entire point 16 is written as a rule for the elimination rounds (not only 16.3) and you keep applying it to the group phase wich you cannot do if you write "still applies" in 15.
