Hi Duane:
As Purge is the Battle Admin, he is the best person to answer your question, and he has done so previously. Keith tends to not get involved in this area of the site unless it requires backend programming changes, which it does not. I am sorry that you are not pleased with the answer to the question, but it is the correct answer. Please do not create any further bug reports on this issue, as this is not a bug.
If you'd prefer to continue to discuss how you would like this challenger to be changed, I would recommend discussing that with fellow battlers in the battle forum.
Locking as this is not a bug.
