From 12:00 KST December 10th 2009 until ladder end (Final 72 hours) the following rules will be enforced:
1. A player cannot play games against an opponent who is 3 or more ranks higher or lower than his own rank
2. A player may only have a 3 game win/loss differential versus his opponent in a 24-hour period
Notes:
Rule 1 - Example: If you are B+, you may play B-, B, B+, A-, and A rank players, but you may not play a C+ or A+ player. Any violations will result in point penalties.
Rule 2 - Example: If you are playing the same player, 3-0, 4-1, 5-2 would be acceptable scores, but 4-0 or 5-1 would not be. Any violations will result in point penalties.
We believe 48 hours is adequate notice for all ladder participants, but if you are in contact with any players (or teams) that aim to qualify, please inform them of this new rule.
Thanks.
Also added to Announcements:
Tie Ladder Score:
If two players are tied for a tier qualification spot (Ladder Ranks #1, #12, #24, and #48), the two tied players will play a Bo3 and the winner gets the higher rank.

Poor Kwark.
This is definitely going to mill some people out though. If not out of the top 48, at least out of the top 12 or 24

Isn't B- two ranks lower than B+... So you mean that a player can't play someone more than 2 ranks away from their own?

Correct, 2 ranks is fine, 3 ranks is illegal (changed the wording to make it clearer).

Same thing stated different ways you are saying >2 is illegal they are saying >=3 is illegal when only integers are involved they mean the same thing.
disclaimer/edit: I have no affiliation with the TSL I just thought that was kind of obvious.

Well, actually, to be fair, it's not really going to affect Kwark that much. I don't believe Kwark was playing any B- players when he was A-.
More like the Morrow rule <.<

i hope we see some good battles between TSL players in an effort to get +3 wins over someone else during those last 3 days. unfortunately the norm is a lot of stagnation and dodging at the end. but with the way the points at the cutoffs are so close, people could have the whole ladder come down to a few key games at the end :D

Yeah, rule being enforced ONLY during the last 72 hours tells us that they don't want anyone to be able to get those extra points needed for a higher rank "too easy". They have to beat better players.
However, this rule was not needed before because you gain so little points. He gained a total of about 100 points for doing that. Thats less than a game vs. equal opponents. To me he has proved he can beat "good" players too. Since only 100 out of 10500+ points is bashing noobs.

No more D bashing for Morrow.

Nony, are you ready to play? Haven't heard much from you playing lately, or practicing.

I do not like new ladder rules implemented in the middle of a season. Some people have had that unfair advantage for a couple weeks while others have not used it.
