doing it without a router will cause an ip address problem. between every network segment (for example your pc and your isp's router/switch) there is a network portion and a host portion for an IP scheme. your isp will assign your pc an ip address (statically or dynamically). IP addresses are globally unique. when you try to unplug your cord from the down isp and connect to the other isp, your pc will have an ip address that is part of the network of the other isp. you won't be able to communicate with the second isp. it will take time for your pc to remove the current IP address configured then get a new one from the second isp. this is too much time wasted when you're in a tourney. just get a router, it will cut out the middle man for you. your pc will always have the same Ip address and network address to communicate with your router. the router will then handle communication with each isp.
