Q u o t e:
hird party user interfaces compatible with World of Warcraft, and which do not violate the World of Warcraft Terms of Use may be used during the First and, if applicable, Second Qualification Rounds of the Tournament, but will not be allowed at the Regional Qualifier or the Finals. At the Regional Qualifier, and the Finals, Team Members will have fifteen (15) minutes prior to the start of the first match with each opponent Team Member to prepare the computer on which they will use to participate in the Tournament match.


Why is this rule in?

As a healer, I HATE Blizzards horrible default UI frames. Im sure others feel the same about the default frames. No, I dont need mods like decursive or spellalert or timer bars or "mods that play the game for me." I just prefer mods that can display info a lot clearer than the default ui.

Please dont make us use your HORRIBLE default frames.

Without going into it too much, we didn't create those mods, and in the tournament setting that the regionals and finals will be, there could be legal issues involved with allowing their use. With the knowledge of this rule I would recommend getting in practice time using the default UI if it looks like you're going to make it to the regionals or finals. Good luck to you and your team!
