User blog comment:Zolnir/Flaw in Tournament Setup/@comment-5414218-20160317123214/@comment-3257939-20160317222553

I think you're relying too much on speed, Zolnir. As you said Qrow and Winter showed an impressive speed but apparently this makes no difference to their recognition of the situation around them given that Qrow, despite his speed, wasn't able to remember the faces of Emerald, Mercury and Cinder even though he caught glimpses of them, or how it took him a few seconds to realize Ironwood was approaching from behind Winter while she didn't notice him at all.

Goodwitch isn't a good card to play either because the Tournament doesn't always take place in Vale and they're not gonna call her to come to their kingdom and play referee until the tournament is over. That is simply not her job.

And there's also how you said a huntsman could have easily saved Penny to the point you claim there are several ways. I would very muchnlike to hear these.
