Very interesting indeed, we could probably all use 1.5 days of intensive Para Drop training (including myself

It is just unfortunate that you have scheduled this tournament to run at the same weekend as the 21st ASO tournament in Copenhagen! This will force many Swedes to have to choose between the two of them. Not good for the hobby, IMHO.
Answer: You are wrong and not humble.

I think we are splitting hairs here. If you read my sentence verbatim you will see that I do not say that battleschool dice are forbidden in Sweden. I said
"I have yet to attend a single non-Swedish tournament where battleschool precision dice are forbidden, or even frowned upon. ".
As an example of the rules in Sweden we can take the Supporting Fire rules: "Only Precision Dice with dots (only) are allowed. One dice should be white, and one should be coloured (transparent or not doesn't matter). If both players agree you may use other dice." Thus, battleschool dice are not totally forbidden at this tournament, but one player can force another player not to use battleschool dice. I am not aware of this kind of "veto power" against battleschool dice at any tournament outside of Sweden (though I have not attended them all, and thus I can be proven wrong).
To elaborate on my previous statement: the only logical consequence of the Stockholm ASL community's boycott against ASO in Copenhagen, grounded in the lack of "veto power" over which dice can be used during a game, must be that no ASL player from Stockholm can attend any future ASL tournament outside of Sweden. Forever. Period.
That is sad. For you.
PS. I do not use Battleschool dice myself, but I have no problem with people using them.
Answer: veto power and whatnot, just accept we do not consider the Battleschool dice to be fair, even compliant when the gulag symbol had vanished and the die showed a blank side, the TD thought it was alright.

Well, no, I want to talk about the Stockholm ASL groups refusal to go to tournaments where they do not have veto-power over what dice can be used. As you so clearly stated in the final minutes of Supporting Fire, you would consider going to Copenhagen (and thus presumably any other non-Swedish tournament) "if they change the dice rules" (the other 25 odd participants be my witness). So this is not really about ASO, but about Stockholm.
Answer: For you information , you are correct. We do not want to experience a bad new phenom in the hobby, but why do you find it such a bigly thing, that we do not participate, and do our own thing.
The Danes will not change the dice rules.
Compliants about the enforcement of the IIFT for years, no reaction, some Americans arrive and tell them that they will refuse to play the IIFT, change of Tournament rule immediately.
Complaints for years, about that Kindling is NA should be implemented as a standard rule for all scenarios, no response.
Had to burned down a whole forest to make the change happen
, because first when the offended Italian player compliant about it, they changed the rule.
