If you can't schedule a match, you deserve the default loss, it's simple as that.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=league&topic=4402&post=72534 Tue, 14 Jul 2009 16:34:36 +0200 Reply by Exfane https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/league/topic-4402/page-1/?recent=72534#post=72436 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=league&topic=4402&post=72436 Tue, 14 Jul 2009 15:43:58 +0200 Reply by str8outtaCompton https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/league/topic-4402/page-1/?recent=72534#post=72091 I do find a point here. It indeed should be the wildcard -using team's responsibility to make the initiative, and contact the other team early enough. For obvious reasons. It feels plain wrong to have a scheduled match being forced to reschedulement, only to find out the opponent doesn't do a single effort to easen the reschedule. Imho it is just correct that a default win would be granted to the team who didn't use the wildcard, if the wildcard users remain inactive long enough, not making any attempts to find another date for the match. +1]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=league&topic=4402&post=72091 Tue, 14 Jul 2009 12:18:00 +0200 Reply by Fluffy Meowington https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/league/topic-4402/page-1/?recent=72534#post=72016 That is a very bad idea indeed for obvious reasons, and that's why we don't do it that way. If you take a wildcard, both teams have to agree on a new date, within those 2 extra weeks. Yes, and if the team that took the wildcard happens to be 'unavailable' for 12-13 days and then comes back on day 14 (= deadline for the season) saying they want to play, then what? You gotta play it or get a default loss?
If you don't act on a wildcard and find a new date, it is as much your fault as that of the other team.
That's flat out ridiculous.
Yes, taking wildcard can turnout bad if some bloody bastards take it. But really, are there so many out here?
People are bastards when it means promotion to a higher div I bet. Don't see the problem with including a minor addition but w/e, tired of discussing this.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=league&topic=4402&post=72016 Tue, 14 Jul 2009 11:24:37 +0200 Reply by Zipok https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/league/topic-4402/page-1/?recent=72534#post=70653 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=league&topic=4402&post=70653 Sun, 12 Jul 2009 14:08:53 +0200 Reply by DeNeusbeer https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/league/topic-4402/page-1/?recent=72534#post=70651 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=league&topic=4402&post=70651 Sun, 12 Jul 2009 13:51:03 +0200 Reply by EXM https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/league/topic-4402/page-1/?recent=72534#post=70615 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=league&topic=4402&post=70615 Sun, 12 Jul 2009 09:27:55 +0200 Reply by Fluffy Meowington https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/league/topic-4402/page-1/?recent=72534#post=70251 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=league&topic=4402&post=70251 Sat, 11 Jul 2009 03:00:01 +0200 Reply by iQue https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/league/topic-4402/page-1/?recent=72534#post=70211 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=league&topic=4402&post=70211 Sat, 11 Jul 2009 00:05:03 +0200 Reply by kEvNx https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/league/topic-4402/page-1/?recent=72534#post=70206 This thread surely was a roaring success.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=league&topic=4402&post=70206 Sat, 11 Jul 2009 00:01:12 +0200 Reply by Fluffy Meowington https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/league/topic-4402/page-1/?recent=72534#post=70202 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=league&topic=4402&post=70202 Fri, 10 Jul 2009 23:49:15 +0200 Created by Fluffy Meowington https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/league/topic-4402/page-1/?recent=72534#post=69792 at least 48 hours before the match at hand, if the team responsible don't propose a new date within 2 weeks the match should be defaulted to the other team. As it is now a team can gain an additional advantage from taking a wildcard (other than not having to play the match on the original date) near the end of the season which is quite absurd. For example, say a team takes a wildcard exactly 14 days before the deadline of the season, they will be able to pick any date they like (if they feel like delaying the proposal of a new date), even the day of the deadline (since deadline is at midnight), no matter if the opponent is ready for it or not (assume they're bastards that can't be reasoned with). That team gained not only the advantage of postponing the date, but also the advantage of being able to pick the date that's possibly the worst for their opponents, doesn't look fair to me.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=league&topic=4402&post=69792 Fri, 10 Jul 2009 00:42:56 +0200
