Sinner or Saint
First and foremost the Elite Battle Zone understands we are not the only PlayStation 3 tournament website on the World Wide Web. We have never proclaimed to be the World's Best Tournament website, and we never will. We have always simply stated "You will not be disappointed". The Elite Battle Zone has built relationships with some of the top gaming communities on the internet. We have seen how their members act on their sites, and we would expect them to act the same on our site. Follow the Elite Battle Zone rules as you would follow the rules for others tournament sites you may belong to. Do NOT be the Saint on one tournament site and then be the Sinner on the Elite Battle Zone site. Follow the EBZ rules set forth for the website and forum community. Follow the Rules & Regulations set forth for each tournament provided for our community members. If you think you can not remain a Saint while participating on our website because you are to accustomed to what you have played in the past we ask that you stay at those other sites. All tournament sites are different, have different rules, and will succeed without the issues that Sinners bring.
