Nice initiative! I like it. Lets hope jail remains empty

It won't. There are plenty of lazy people like major who will not show up to events they're expected to show up in.

I very much like this initiative. I hope the people part of this follow the spirit of kespa and are strict about striking players.

I hope that 1 day, there will be more players in the jail than out of it and the scene collapses in some hilarious anti-utopian scenario.

Here is a question... regarding archon mode, and this ruleset.

What happens with a team when there is 1 player in the "jail" with 3 strikes but the other player, not in? What happens in this situation? The entire team not allowed to participate?

Question since it wasn't mentioned in the OP. I guess this mostly concerns Olimoleague. What about players on Proleague teams? If they miss an event and later excuse themselves by saying something like "The coaching staff had me prepare a Proleague match with a teammate and didn't let me participate.", is this a valid excuse or a strike?

This is a really good question! Thanks for bringing it up. I'm not sure if something like that has been fully flushed out but we'll come up with a ruling on it. =]

Edit: After thinking about it more, the rules allow for players to continue with existing commitments even if they get put in foreigner jail(removing players from existing events will only hurt the events AND the players). It stops players from qualifying or playing in new events though. If something like this happens, then we'd tell the unbanned partner to find a new partner since they wouldn't have even played any of the event with the banned partner yet.

Open bracket signup events won't penalize players for no-showing. It will penalize players for dropping out more than 50% of the way through though. As for things like monthly finals, we would still want to give strikes for that. It's important to remember we're not asking for players to never back out of a commitment ever. Organizers do want a reasonable amount of notice though that they won't be able to participate.

so will a player get punished if they "miss their flight to dreamhack" and don't bother finding a replacement flight (when its well within their means?) or is that a legit excuse

Dreamhack is not one of the organizer's on the list so no, won't count. =]

In this situation the player either hasn't considered his contract obligations with a third party well enough when signing up (assuming the coaches can actually force them to train instead of participating), or it is still just his own decision to not participate (if the coaches decision isn't binding for the player). In either case, this is the player's fault. I guess a case could be made if canceling a participation wasn't possible, but usually there should be enough time and staying in the bracket is just poor planing.

I was just asking out of curiosity. I'm in full support of this initiative and hope it works out to the better for both organizers and participants.
