Backstream Modification during the tourney

[Deleted]

Anyone else think it was BS that they reduced the jets after Hashimoto's run and increased them again after Kongu's run? I mean I know they were trying to make the stage passable avoid another 19, but I just think not everyone in the stage got a fair shake.

Did they really increase them again? I didn't see that part, but yea they should have kept it consistent and gave Shingo and Kouji re-runs.

That's definitely about right. I honestly wouldn't have had any issues since it was an interesting obstacle in 28, keeping everyone on their toes, BUT with the fact that it was too strong for a lot of the competitors, they've just about shot themselves in the foot.

I don't think fixing an obstacle mid-day in itself is unfair (hell, 26 with the Rolling Escargot and ANW4 with the Slider Drop did it on a large scale like that), but how they just ignored it and not giving re-runs is unfair, so I voted yes that the backstream incident was unfair... everyone who attempted the non-final version should have gotten a proper shot, and the obstacle should have undergone heavier testing as well...

Yeah, I had noticed that the rapids were rougher again when I was watching Asa's run. I was like WTF?! I thought it was just me, but then I did a comparison on runs and noticed the rapids were rougher. If I remember correctly it was after Kongu's run.

Dammit... I voted for the wrong bloody choice.
I accidentally put no!
