(Seattle) GameClucks SC2 1v1 - April 23rd or 30th - Page 3

one last thing i want to add is there was a little dilemma last event with some lag issues possibly changing the outcome of a game. and there was no rules in place yet to deal with this issue and you said we'd put rules in place for the next tournament. correct me if i'm wrong but i'm pretty sure the rules in major tournaments that if lag or like screen going balck or something happens and the ref's decide that it did change the outcome of the game then the game should be replayed. if a person was way behind(determined by refs) and lag happened then it doesn't really matter because they would have lost anyway. same for a dc if it can be decided that 1 player was substantially ahead and someone gets dc'd ref's can rule it a win or loss but if it was a close game and there's no clear winner then the game must be replayed.

also last even i'm not gonna name any names(and pls no one else either) but the person who had the lag issue didn't pause the game or anything because he said he thought he could recover from it. then brought it up after he lost the game. this is alittle sketchy generally the rule is you pause right away and say something. if i recall the pause procedure is you type "pppp" as a warning that you're going to pause the game before you do. (or i believe some tourneys don't even allow you to pause when you type ppp the ref's actually pause it. but since there is no ref in each game this procedure isn't practical)

so i just think there needs to be rules to prevent things like this in the future. again someone with more tourney experience than me might know the rules better then i do this is just what i recall hearing about the rules.
