Jesus Christ, YES!!!

The object of a tournament module is to enable declaring a winning team. This is done most simply by making the module a linear killing ground, and the victor is the one whose corpse is found furthest from the starting line.

This is what a tournament module IS. It's okay if you don't like that, but then don't look at tournament modules. It's like blaming a lime for being green; that's what they ARE.
