Guess I don't see a problem there, Seeker. If you are going to avoid either one of those guys you will do it regardless. You've nothing to gain butting into their fight either way, as I see it. Yes, you would try to kill people, and that is what would make the event move along.
I saw it like this; it took over an hour to play three rounds. There were calls on the radio for those that were left to move to the center of the arena. More calls. More calls. If you have to grab all the kills you can to win, you can't wait. Sure, you have to be alive to enjoy the kills, but getting the kills will be more fun than flying around the arena praying for a miracle when you do have to face that last guy.
