Re: Would it be possible to play a single Championship race?

By definition a Championship race is a multi-race event, so I don't think it makes sense to ask for a one race championship (especially as there is only one round of drafting and so the first player to draft will always be advantaged since starting 1-2 slots back is not that big of a penalty yet the...

Re: Better way to deal with skipped players in tournaments?

It's a global bga thing, nothing we can do game side. Too bad... what would the best tournament settings for Heat to minimize the impact of this then? Group stage early to weed out those not committed before the knockout so no one runs out of time in the later stages? Anything more that can be done...

Better way to deal with skipped players in tournaments?

I feel like maybe a scaling system of karma reduction might be the answer? I get that * happens, so be lenient for first time offenders or people who aren't offending very often in a given time period, but if you are consistently not playing within your time or even flat out quitting games then you ...

63 leaves and 153 time warnings = 92% reputation?

In a recent Challengers swiss tournament I was paired twice with the same player over 7 games. I'm not sure this person played a full game and it is a very simple game. Admittedly the time rules for the tournament weren't the best but everyone else was doing okay with it. I'm in the last round with ...

Would love to know too.
