Dear all BTT teams and players,
I guess many people agree with me that the BTT round 4 last weekend was not successful because of many disconnections.
Consider the fact that we had 6x dcs in round 4 games (almost all games have dc), and no dc at all in previous 3 rounds. I think we can conclude the BTT bot or its server was instable during the last weekend.
Based on this fact, and the spirit of fair play, I would make a suggestion of remaking (some games) of BTT Round 4. See the details below.
But, please notice that this is only a suggestion. It is NOT compulsory because it obviously violates the BTT rules. Only when BOTH involved teams agree with the suggestion, the game will be remade. Otherwise, the game results of last weekend still applies.
======================================================
The review of the Round 4 games:
Game 24: WH3B vs. intRacial (intRacial had 1 dc, and WH3B won)
Game 26: WH3B vs. KOREA #1 (WH3B had 1 dc, and KOREA #1 won)
Game 25: Next-Gen vs. BTC (Next-Gen had 1 dc, and in rmk game Next-GEN won)
Game 27: Next-Gen vs. Dream Team (Dream Team had 2 dc when almost won the game, the game has to rmk)
Game 15: Sake-AA vs. Old Sluts (Sake-AA won by default cuz Old Sluts failed to present 5 players on time)
======================================================
Generally, I would suggest to extend the games with dcs to Best of 3 (BO3), with benefits to the teams who had a win already.
In detail,
Game 24: WH3B vs. intRacial
Make 2 extra games for the BO3 and consider WH3B already got 1 win. It means, the intRacial must win both games to go further, while WH3B only needs 1 more win to kick out intRacial.
Both WH3B and intRacial have to agree with this suggestion. Plus team KOREA #1 has to agree with it too. Otherwise this game is senseless.
Game 26: WH3B/intRacial vs. KOREA #1
Similarly make 2 extra games. No matter who is the winner team from Game 24, they must beat KOREA #1 twice. And KOREA #1 needs only 1 more win.
Again, firstly KOREA #1 needs to agree with this idea. Otherwise they are still the winner of game 26. And Game 24 is not needed.
Game 27: Next-Gen vs. Dream Team
Consider the fact the Dream Team had a clear win before dcs. I suggest to let the Dream Team leads the BO3. It means, make 2 extra games, and Next-Gen needs win both to beat Dream Team. But Dream Team needs only 1 win to kick out Next-Gen.
Game 25: Next-Gen vs. BTC
Consider we are remaking the btt round 4, and the 3 games above could be extended. If both teams agree, this game can also extend to BO3, with Next-Gen received 1 win. BTC must win twice to make a turn over, and Next-Gen only needs 1 more win.
Game 15: Sake-AA vs. Old Sluts
This game was actually no need to remake. But on the behalf of some referees (e.g. me) and audiences, I suggest both team leaders to calm down and reconsider the possibility of a rmk. If both teams agree, the game 15 will be remade. But this game will be NOT a BO3, but only 1 game.
So this is all for the suggestion.
==============================================================
Some more notice,
1. Again, please notice this is only a suggestion. It doesn't work until BOTH teams agree with it. Otherwise the results of last week still apply. All teams have right to deny the suggestion if they are not willing to take the risk of losing in the BO3.
2. Please discuss the possibility with your opponent team, not the BTT-Staff. For us we only follow the BTT rules. Sometimes we make suggestions to make the game more fair and less complaints, but those suggestions won't work until all involved teams agree with it.
3. If some games will be remade, please be aware this is an exception to the BTT rules. We won't do it again in the future. And in case of dc in the rmk games, the BTT rules will apply.
4. Normally this message is sent only to the team contact persons. But due to some of the team contact persons were not functioning well, from now on we will publish the message so all players can see it. Feel free to discuss following the thread. But, still, only the team contact person's words count. I will ignore the messages received from non-contact person players. If the contact person is busy, please assign the job to other team member, and send me a message to specify who is the contact person now.
5. The team contact person please discuss the possibilities of the Round 4 game rmk, and send me the result before Thursday.
