Quickee Post: Ruling battle!

Rulings on the local level are usually a lot of fun. Everyone is on the same "level" of authority, regardless of your tournament prowess or judging experience. The key here at locals is that most players will only listen to the tournament organizer, or the general consensus. As a tournament organizer, players can feel confident when they come to you for a ruling; especially true if you have a laptop and WiFi! As "just another guy with a 3G phone", your word is only as good as the number of people around you who will agree with what you say. In a game that can be as complex as Yugioh, even the words printed on the cards can't be trusted by some players. The only way to reach these type of players is with cited proof of game mechanics.

Inzektor with multiple equipped cards
Until we receive any notice about the issue; when equip cards leave an Inzektor such as Centipede and Dragonfly at different times, yet on the same chain, that Inzektor will be able to activate it's effect for each instance of a detached equip spell card. However, it is very important to remember that Heavy Storm on those monsters, with multiple cards equipped to them, will only cause 1 search/special summon.

Example: Inzektor Dragonfly is equipped with Inzektor Hornet and Gigamantis. Hornet can be sent to the graveyard to activate the effect, destroying the equipped Gigamantis. Afterwards, a new chain starts between Gigamantis and 2 activations of Inzektor Dragonfly.

Snowman Eater doesn't start a chain!?
This was a heated debated on the internet thanks to the YCS rumor mill. Similar to Hornet and Shi En, this was debunked thanks to Facebook. Snowman Eater's effect starts a chain and applicable monsters can negate the activation of that effect during the Damage Step.

Monsters can not activate effects in the damage step unless they specifically say so...right?
For this, I really tried to turn to the rule book for some clarification. Unfortunately, the rule book didn't actually specify the use of Monster's Quick Effects during the damage step! Even worse, is that I am having trouble finding and ruling questions on the Official TCG Judge Forum about Quick Effects and the Damage Step. I can only trust that most players know by now that Monsters with Quick effects (spell speed 2) that negate effects can activate during the damage step. The (Unofficial) Yugioh Wikia has a nice breakdown of the Damage Step.

The only solace I can give you are some questions to think about:
Can Stardust Dragon negate the activation of Ally of Justice - Catastor?
Can Tytannial, Princess of Camelias negate the activation of Ryko, Lightsworn Hunter?
Can Herald of Perfection negate the activation of Battle Fader from the opponent's hand?
