• You can only enter 1 monster at a time per Class. (If there are 3 classes open you may enter 1 monster in Each class)
  
• If a monster Loses a given bracket you may re-enter a NEW monster of that Class ASAP into any bracket that is left open.
  
• If you have Won a Bracket, your monster is moved onto the Finals of that Class.
  
• If your monster is in the Finals you may not enter another monster until the next "tourney of that X" Class opens up. (X replacing S, A, Master or Specialty)
  
  Finalist Example in an A class Tournament:
  If you are fighting in A class public Tournament #3 and you are a Finalist, you may not re-enter another A class monster until a new set (A class public Tournament #4) opens. HOWEVER you CAN continue to raise the Same monster (presumably on a different save) until it qualifies for S class... or Even Master class! A Defeated monster of a given class cannot re-enter into that class ever.
