Native Completed [NASTe] North American Small Teams Seasonal Ladder [Season 2]

[Deafening]

Huzzah team LAG!!

 

[POM_Zero]

Doubt it

Way to be optimistic 

 

[Catholic]

We have at least three in the making.
Balions, KoAs and Wappaws, right?

 

[ZeEpicGirl]

Balions has already been made.

 

[Catholic]

Weren't there supposed to be two balion teams?

 

[BigBoss]

And maybe 2 wappaw teams.

 

[Orion]

Balion hasn't decided on leadership for their second team yet, or so I was told by Mad Dawg. The second team would probably be a group from the Balion Guards, which is normally led by Peasant. However, Peasant is on the current Balion ladder team (Balions Against Dueling). You'll have to ask them for details, and that's all I'll say about it.

Nom PM'ed me, and two players have been added to the LAG team roster: Morii and Antigone. They're both eligible to play tomorrow, 24 hours after the time I was notified (12 PM and 2 PM CST, respectively).

Updating registered team list now.

So the match starts out 6v6. A few rounds into it, Player A's internet cuts out. No subs are around for that team.

It gets rescheduled?
Do they play from the map w/ the score it was before the Player A's internet cut out?
Or does it start over from the beginning?

One reason for the first to 5 scoring system is that it's easier and more convenient in the event of a rematch. Because of this, rematches are complete replays. I'll have to specify this in the rules, and I think it's odd that I left it out. It's a bit embarrassing to forget something like that.

Complete replays (if you play to the time limit (6 minutes per round) on all three maps to the maximum possible rounds) could take just over 2 and a half hours. This is much decreased from the potential time spent in best-of-thirteen matches, like KBOOB, where the total potential time with a round time of 6 minutes could be ~4 hours.

Keeping track of partial maps and old round counts is a hassle I'm not willing to deal with.

For your first question, that was answered in the post you quoted.

However, if a player drops and is not back before the end of the round they dropped or the end of the following round, and if no other players can be substituted into their place, I'd suggest rescheduling.

We'd like to request to move the BkS vs Balion match to Sunday @ 8 CST, as we're missing the required number of players due to unforeseen circumstances. Of course, this would need to be alright with Mad Dawg and Balion's team.

I'd rather not play a man down.

 

[Calamity]

Nom, we can't do it tomorrow, sorry. Only had 3 confirm. Don't want to waste your time.

 

[Orion]

BkS has dropped African and substituted Bojangles, and has chosen to fill their final vacant slot with Search. Team roster will be updated ASAP.

Works.  BKS without peers kinda sux.

Nom, we can do it today if you'd like.  8:00pm eastern??

 

[MrNomNom]

Too late for my European players.

Too early for my west coast guys! D:

I had this brilliant scheduling idea (brilliant in my opinion >.>) to do wK's match at 1:00 AM eastern time. wK (In theory) could make it, because it's only 10:00 PST, my EUs could wake up early and make it, and my west/central doodz could come too.

So your proposed time to schedule is...?

 

[MrNomNom]

Hm. I would guess a bit earlier that 8, seeing that I have more EUs than West Coast guys. I'll ask around though.

Looks like (So far) that tonight won't be good except for that super late idea, which I understand won't work for any clan but wK.

 

[Mad_Dawg]

I've already used my challenge so if anyone wants to fight tonight at anytime really, post a challenge up.

 

[Orion]

If you are involved in a challenge, you must resolve that challenge before you face anyone else. That means you can't challenge one team and defend against another at the same time.

The reasoning for this is that if you lose a match on the defense while you have a challenge against another team, your resulting loss in rank could create an "impossible" challenge, allowing you to move up more ranks than otherwise possible.

This also works inversely, meaning you could challenge upwards while defending, win your challenge to advance in rank, and the team you are defending against is now involved in an impossible challenge that they could not normally initiate.

Good point.  Dully noted.

Ra is making a substitution. Please remove X from our Ra-ster and add 5arge in his place.
Thank you.
