User blog comment:Zolnir/Flaw in Tournament Setup/@comment-189.134.137.179-20160317095605

But those are normal people. These are huntsmen with survival skills and aura. They fight with the intention of killing their opponent because if they're really about to do so they get a warning. This tournament is almost a century old. And there was never a need for a referee. The buzz sound warning was always enough to stop people from over doing it so where's the need for a referee? In fact Yang was arrested for it meaning that they're warned beforehand about the dangers of the fight as well as their responsibilities.

And no Oobleck couldn't have done anything even if he was in the platform. This isn't normal anime with flash steps and overpowered people who simply appear at the right moment and fix everything in stupid deus ex fashion. That is for Yang and as for Penny how was Oobleck supposed to know that Penny was a robot who couldn't protect herself because Pyrrha's magnetism did something to her Aura and would end up turned into quarters despite still having Aura left? One bad move and he could have stopped the fight for the wrong reasons and ruin the whole thing.

''Ms. Schnee has summoned a giant ice hand. It looks too dangers. Better stop the fight and grant her victory before something bad happens! Oh you say they have 50% of Aura? Meh. They can make it then.''
