We do post on our ICCup ladder page about rule changes (and link players here) -- not sure what more you expect us to do.

In a tournament without a cohesive organizational structure for contacting players (ie KeSPA simply tells the proteams, who tell their players), announcements are usually handed out in such a way. We aren't going to seek out players and phone them personally. What will happen when we post lineups and schedules for qualifiers? If the players don't ever visit TL and miss their scheduled play dates, is "you never told me" an excuse?

I don't think PL would accept "we didn't look at the schedule" as a legitimate reason if Samsung doesn't show up or something.

What really needs to happen is there should be a rule in place that says a certain page on TL should be checked every friday at a certain time for possible rule changes and/or announcements. That way people can run off and play 100% of their free time if they have other responsibilities.

Also, don't forget there are different timezones, languages, and holidays in other countries.

guys stop saying "it wouldn't be so hard for TSL to do X"

NO SHIT?

Well guess who it'd be EASIER for and logically more intelligent? THE PLAYERS. TSL is already busy running .. TSL.. asking them to also hold the hands of the players who have invested interest in this league is ridiculous. "Updates you say? Well where? I never heard of them? I've just been playing this here TSL ladder and thats it!"

Bots? News post on ICCUP? Yes those things would be nice but even subtly arguing that it is somehow TSL's duty to provide those things is bullshit. This is a small matter and Magic~phil obviously has no real power but I want to nip this in the butt cause I am tired of this really strange immature logic that has found its way into just about every tourney and that is that players are big dummies who cannot and will not take care of themselves. If they choose to play the most prestigious league online and cannot bother to check the friggin rules every once in awhile then too hell with them I say?

I still think it's not the most professional thing to do.

Once they read the rules, and decided to go for it, the players are then expected to do their thing - play.

I wonder what you'd say if KeSPA banned zerglings from all pro games without notifying anyone, simply changing the fine print in their rulebook.

I know this example is exaggarating in every way (zerglings are a much bigger deal, and TSL IS in fact reaching out and informing people), but I have a feeling that if you ran the ladder, you would advocate doing absolutely nothing?

Changing rules midway is a deviation from the way almost all agreements work, and as such deserves some effort from the organizer to make all parties notified.

I just feel that because you don't like the extreme baby-feeding in some cases, you are now going for an opposite extreme which again can't be good.

I don't think he's advocating the opposite extreme. He's advocating what we are doing right now: posting the rule changes in this forum, which includes a thread that is updated with all of them. Also, we update in the green box at the top of the site. If players don't see it personally, one of their contacts / teammates / managers / friends will surely see it and inform them.

I think just by doing that we're fulfilling any duty of information to the players -- if KeSPA banned a particular tactic and posted news about it on the official KeSPA site (what we're doing now), I don't think any progamer could claim ignorance as a valid defense to that.

So people are bashing on this guy because he suggested making a post on ICCup to let people know there was a rule change in the middle of the ladder? That seems like a totally reasonable suggestion to me. I can understand if you disagree, but why get so upset over it? Honestly Inc, hand holding and helping them read big words? Changing the rules in the middle of the competition is a very unusual step. In fact, it's so unusual that certain TL staff have even said in recent posts that it obviously could not happen. Now it has. You're an intelligent guy Inc, why so emotional about this issue?
