Whitera is awesome, but if i was offered a DQ over whitera id take it instantly because he would obliterate me. I don't blame the other guy. | ||

Still, they should fix the notification of the players so they know further ahead when they have to play so such occurences can be more easily avoided. If they then still show up 10 minutes late, DQ them. | ||

Day 1 open bracket action always stretches into 2am local time as it is when things proceed on schedule. I think MLG should consider White-Ra's recommendation and also consider how dreamhack and WCG operate with players showing late. After 15 minutes treat it like 1 game was played and award the player waiting with a 1 game forfeit win, after another 15 minutes it's a 2-0 forfeit. 10 minutes for the entire match seems a little absurd to me. Each round is given a 1 hour slot to play so if a player does not show and is a full 30 minutes late they will be marked with a 2-0 loss and the match is still done long before the rest of the round and even longer before avilos match is avilo if playing in the event. (rofl) Sure this means the player waiting has to sit around for 30 minutes but hey browsing TL for 15 minutes while getting a win at an MLG event not too bad right? Hardy har har, Lucky! After MLG - Columbus, avilo basically posted verbatim (on another forum) what Thorzain said, but avilo was shot down. | ||

It sucks he got cut off at 11 mins when the limit was 10, but if the limit was 15 I'm sure there'd be people complaining they were only 16 mins late Honestly I'm more concerned about consistency than the time limit itself. The problem with CBus was that some players got 45 min leeway while others got 5. It looked especially bad when notable players like Losira had keyboard issues that delayed matches for 2 hours, but then lesser known players get DQed for using PS2-USB keyboard converters. Catz made a good argument about his DQ vs JulyZerg, he thought His DQ was legitamate, its just that he was upset that the rules were bent for players. The examples he gave were Ret and July, who were 30+ late to their games but still got to play. | ||

MLG just needs to focus on consistency, I think. It's good that Rob pointed out White-Ra because in other MLGs people have been late or delayed games in a MUCH longer fashion than 11 minutes, and they got okayed into playing late. | ||

Sucks that he got DQ but atleast it sets a good example for everyone who goes to MLG. If they DQ white-ra then nobody is going to get special treatment. Unless they have given people like 30mns and still let them play this tournament or something. if they have then to hell with what I said. | ||

He shows up at 10:50 local time for a match that was scheduled at 10:40 local time, MLG gives 10 minutes grace period to show up and White-Ra shows up in the last minute of his window. 90% of the rest of round 2 is still in game 1 as White-Ra is talking to an MLG ref who basically says sorry dude next time don't be late. How did this happen? Is something like this preventable? yes, by showing up on time the problem with this situation is that everyone thinks that he showed up one minute too late, but he was really 11 minutes too late - the 10 minutes isn't supposed to be considered into your planning on showing up, 10 minutes is late - they will let it slide because shit happens, but it's still late that extra one minute means that you're 11 minutes late. unacceptable. | ||

I drove from North Carolina to play at the event at Columbus. Got a hotel for the 3 days at the event spent tons of money (for a college student at least) MLG staff was terrible about practicing on the computer before the event, people were fighting for space and just taking others computers who went to use the bathroom. After getting destroyed by Demuslim in the first round I was dq'd from the next day because the times that were given to me by MLG admins were an hour off. I was pretty upset about my dq but notice it happened to numerous other players (including hte cats july zerg thing) Their times are never stable, they dont ever actually tell you what group of matches you are going to play and they make you responsible for being in hte buildings at ALL TIMES for a 5 hour period waiting for your name to be called on a loud speaker... This makes it absolutely impossible to go eat, to go to the bathroom, shower, go anywhere really. The worst part is they are calling your name in a building with thousands of loud people.. Its just a terrible system. LOVE YOU MLG BUT WHAT ARE YOU DOING | ||

Being 10-minutes late can't warrant a DQ of the player, I do think the player should be penalised but not fully DQ'ed Hope White-Ra tears up LB :D | ||
