Captain Lust said:Even if it did take them literally seconds, there's no guarantee it will do here. It's been a problem before. What's your argument against having a default server? In any case, I think there might as well be a rule about it, since there aren't many situations to define. It will basically be defined by precedents set in the first few weeks anwyay.
Plus I think if you have a rule then it stops teams being victims of their own "good nature"...

A team is considered to be ready after they wrote "re & go" or "re & live" or anything comparable to that. A team can force their opponent to play 15 minutes after the scheduled start.Dreaon said:1. When does a team count as "ready"?
As example: Team A is at the agreed time on the agreed server and has more than 8 player ready. Team B however joins after 10 minutes with 5 players. According to the rules, Team A doesn't have to wait more than 15 minutes.
Dreaon said:So if Team A is not willing to wait longer, Team B either has to play or forfeit. If we assume that Team B wants to play anyways, they can start with 5 guys? And how about 4, 3, 2, 1 player, in an extreme case?^^
After 2 Sets with 6 or less they would have lost anyways, but does Team A even have to play 8 rounds if there are like 3 enemies only?
Dreaon said:2. Substitutions are not allowed during 1 Set, unless there is 1 disconnect. (btw, 1 exchange is allowed then, but 1 per match or 1 per set? And if the disconnected guy comes back, after they substituted him, I assume he's not allowed to switch in again in this set?)
Dreaon said:What about a team starting with less than 8 players? They are allowed to let guys in until they have 8 or not?
If yes, I can think of another situation: What if Team B played the first 3 rounds with 5 and 6 players, then during the last round, another guy joins in, but he didn't spawn at all, just joined his team. I guess then they will lose 1 point according to the rules, is that right? Coz they had 7 players in the end, but played the whole set with 6 or less.
Dreaon said:3. I'd like to expand my example:
Team B is really bad. Both teams said they're ready (Team B with 5 guys) and after re & live, 1 guy of Team B forgot to spawn and they wish another respawn. This time however, they got their classes wrong and wish a respawn again. And in the third, they have the wrong drops. After this, Team A is not willing to do more restarts.
Can't find a rule about that. So if a team said they are ready and after "re & live", do they have to play even if they are suddenly not ready anymore? If the other Team is willing to, they can just restart once more, but what if the other team doesn't want to or if it happens multiple times?
Dreaon said:4. The rules say, after a disconnect, they can substitute in the next round. So if a player crashes at the beginning of the round, they are not allowed to substitute him right away? Guess that makes sense, coz they could loot extra equipment from the 1 guy.

One per set, and the player that disconnected is indeed not allowed to switch back in.

Yeah, exactly.
Neathar said:But that's only the case, if the team substitutes him by someone else. If they just go on with 7 Players until the disconnected guy comes back, he can take his place back, isn't it?
Neathar said:However, the team is allowed to kindly ask the opponents for a restart, so they can start 8 vs 8 instead of 7 vs 8? I mean I am pretty sure that in the described situation every team that values fair play would grant a restart. It's only a matter of discussion, when the round has already turned in someone's favor. Then there should be no restart of course.
EDIT: I made a little mistake, sorry. My remark only counts if this dropout happens in the beginning of the very first round of a set. If we're speaking of the beginning of the 4th round of a set, one team being 3 - 0 in the lead (e.g. as Swadia), it would be a disadvantage to restart.
Dreaon said:If it happens at the beginning of the 1. round of a set, we can restart, sure. But hardly at the beginning of the 3. for example.
Anyways, thanks a lot for the answers Scar, it will help me to act better as Referee
However, if a team plays one Set with 6 players and loses in the end, they will actually get -1 point that week? So giving up right away could save them one point.
Nope.Overgaul said:there're no pick nights then am I right?
