yes but these rules are pretty exclusive it would be hard to have had them all along. the last days are so important which makes it worth the time to add extra rules and ppl with nothing better to do than watching ppls gamelists all day long :>
wanna kick idra out of the tournmanet? get a- game with him, after 2:00 /clearstats YES then exit and he gets +13 for beating a D and gg him :D

I really like that they are willing to add in this rule in the midst of the ladder. In the scheme of things, I think the fan complaints about the quality of games at the top of the ladder are far more important than any one individuals complaint about not being able to abuse the system because of personal timing issues.
I think its great that the admins are still striving to make the end of this ladder as competitive and fair as they can given the circumstances. I'm sure it would have been better to have this as a solid rule from the beginning, but I'd rather let some people get away with it at the start w/ a more exciting finish than let everyone get away with it up until the last moment.

It just seems odd to change ladder rules that were in place after the majority of the ladder phase has been played. It seems odd to complain about a self-imposed disadvantage... There is nothing unfair about the introduction of these rules. In fact the game-limiting one is appropriate for just the end of the ladder. The rank rule is more of a preventitive measure against a looming problem, not a fix for a problem in-progress. In other words, there really hasn't been much of an advantage accumulated by anyone up to this point.

It's bad. Say you are A- and you bash C+/B- to try to rank up. All it takes is one bad game/smart cheese/smurf and you lose like 4 or more games worth of points.
And playing D's is pointless. Morrow got like 80 points from that, and it still took a decent amount of time per game. Not to mention the horrible point loss if you get unlucky and run into some random new account of a decent player and lose.
I would imagine the rule is more designed to prevent players near the border of the various tiers (48th, 24th, 12th) from bashing some newbs at the last minute to edge someone else out, or to just barely pass someone above them, without the risk of playing someone decent.

IMO it should be a 2 rank difference... because B+ people will try to bash on B-'s in order to reach A-... and the skill gap between B+ and B- is so ginormous that it could (imo) be considered abuse

NO
people playing TEAMLIQUID STAR LEAGUE should READ the RULES on TEAMLIQUID. It isn't TEAMLIQUID's job to go force idiots to read all their rules when the rules are about as available as is possible/expected for a tourney being ran from the website that has a dedicated forum with links to everything you could possibly need to know about the tourney YOU (the proverbial you) signed up for.

good point Inc, I can see a lot of players complaining about crap like that. it's a entry-fee-free league anyway. If people want to participate competitively it should be their responsibility
