[quote=@ShidenBlades]However, Schradinger, to answer your question because I don't believe people will be fair. Color my cynical I guess. It's not a big deal, just personal preference.[/quote]

If that's the case, then you'll never be satisfied with a judgement no matter who does it. Unless you're worried about there being a "judge club" where all the judges start to rule in favor of the other judges every time. Though again, if that's the case then you'll never believe any judge has earned their rank, whether they did it in a tournament or not. 

If you don't believe a fellow judge can be impartial in a tournament setting, why would you trust them to do it in a normal ranked match? It's pretty much impossible to have a ranking system like this without some level of trust, unless none of the judges ever participate in any ranked matches at all, but that's going to cut down on the fighter pool quite a bit considering how small the community currently is.
