Several months ago some friends of mine asked me if a player could Tribute their only monster out to summon another monster of a different attribute while the Gozen Match was in play. Now since I wasn't too familiar with the rulings for the card I had to look them up on Yu-Gi-Oh! Wikia. Since Rivalry of Warlords set the precedent for this kind of effect I checked its rulings first. This was what I saw:
If you have only 1 monster on the field face-up, you may Tribute it for a monster that is a different Type.[1]
The link at the end of the ruling went to Netrep, which is a database of old rulings. Thinking nothing suspicious of it, I passed on this ruling to my friends which they accepted.
Unfortunately it appears that ruling was revised some time ago and never updated on Wikia OR Netrep.
It's things like this that make me wish that Konami stored all their rulings on their main site instead of a second party like Wikia. It would certain make issuing ruling reversals much easier.
Remember players, the game ends with you.
