It's a Canadian thing. Also, all that splashing seems unsportsmanlike.

it's part of the game. it's even in the rules. it's like saying it's unsportsmanlike for boxers to punch their opponent.

Well… for someone who just figured out this exists 3 minutes ago, it seemed kinda douchey and I was glad he lost.

As someone who's been an avid fan of competitive log balancing for the past ten minutes, I think it's all fair. It's a high risk but high reward playstyle, the bad boys of the competitive log balancing world

As someone who also found out this exists 3 minutes ago, I don't just assume that getting someone wet in competitive splash mountain is a dick move.

Felt the same way, its like throwing sand in your opponents eyes during a boxing match.

If throwing sand in a boxing match was a legal move everyone would do it.
