Ro16 Preview I mentioned in the OP that the Ro16 grouping would be set up in a way so that each group features two players that went 2-0 and two other players that went 2-1 in their ro32 group. Here is a quick overview of how the groups will be set up: ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/1dCLTHq.png) There are five maps but only three will be used for each of the ro16 groups. Each player that advanced 2-0 in their ro32 group can veto one map from their ro16 group's map pool resulting in a set of three maps for their group. Random vetoes will be chosen for any of the players that do not select a veto. I originally planned on all of the ro16 be Bo3 but I'm just going to keep it Bo1 like the ro32. I will be casting the games from the Ro32 tomorrow and updating this thread + liquipedia with the results as soon as I can. | ||

Why? I thought you said we could submit replays before you casted them.... EDIT : Why do you just walk over players without talking to them first man...I was going to try and play Mewka tonight or early tomorrow before you cast the games... | ||

There were three other people in your group. Two of them showed up on time to the ro32 clueless about where you and Mewka were or when you two may have wanted to reschedule the games. Things like this are why walkovers are allowed to be claimed. They wanted them, they got them. | ||

This is not directed personally at you.

I'd assume that everybody in the ro16 is responsible enough to make the time for a bo3 or at least schedule their games in a manner that everything works out fine. After all, it's your decision. However, I haven't got the feeling that there is demand for such a change and I do not think that it is neccessary. | ||

But I missed my tourney game. I did try to play the day before since I wasn't sure if this would happen or not but I couldn't because my opponent didn't feel prepared. Am i OK? | ||

Group A took a really long time today with just Bo1 games. If entire groups were to be switched to Bo3 you could potentially have people sitting around waiting an hour for the rest of their group to finish their games. Take this example: TerranA vs TerranB ZergA vs TerranC TerranA and TerranB play 3 games 30 minutes each. (1.5hrs game time). ZergA vs TerranC play just two 15-20 minute games (35min total average -> waiting for 55 minutes). Then you could possibly have another TvT bo3 and another TvZ bo3 where someone could again wait a long time. I could change it to where groups are part bo3 and part bo1 (sonic did this after some really long group stages too). I could shorten to bo1 or maybe keep it bo3 and make ro16 a two week round but it seems clear to me that I definitely need to make a change of some kind. edit: What time are you guys going to try and meet up to play? I'll try to be there as well. | ||

My original intention for ro16 was going to have 2 games, winner's losers, and tie breaker matches except everything would be bo3. This results in somewhere between 4-9 games for each player.

We still have some time theoretically I thought to play it before tomorrow. I think regardless of the rules, whether they're lenient or strict, if the players don't want to make the effort to play and/or don't care enough, it won't ever be played. Looking back at past D-rank events, L_Master was very lenient with postponements and delays, but despite the rules, there were still a lot of games that weren't played, and eventually, I believe one individual league and teamleague never got a proper ending. Topic of discussion is always pretty cool to talk about, but it seems like real life will always, of course inevitably, get in the way of designated times, piss players off, and walkovers will occur. Look at Alchemy League, even though there was money on the line meaning incentive to play well and actually show up, there were still significant amount of walkovers. | ||

I love how you just give my opponents walk over's when I specifically stated several times I wouldn't be able to play because THE HOUR WAS MOVED UP AN HOUR. If it wasn't moved up an hour I could have been able to play. But then you are going to let others complete there matches tomorrow? Pretty obvious that you just wanted to give my opponent walk over vs me. Did others post in the thread saying repeatedly they were not going to be able to make the specific time as much as I did? Oh ok thanks buddy. | ||

Oh ok thanks buddy. Come on man. You really think Arcania is out to get you? The reality is, your opponents are not obligated to reschedule with you if you can't make the scheduled time. It's more up to the members of the group to make rescheduling work than is it up to Arcania. | ||
