There's your ruling people, nothing more to discuss (for this league anyway).

So in short, any frame not yet 100% complete gets replayed if one player drops.

I wouldnt worry about people logging out on purpose if they were about to lose a frame.. as any cheating like this I'm sure will result in expulsion from the clan leagues ?

I remember I lost connection during my game with madmiketyson a while back, I logged straight back in and he said we should play the frame again.

One would think so - the problem is recognizing one from the other (voluntary vs. technical problems).

Anyway I've never heard this being a significant problem before so probably and hopefully it just simply isn't.

As I said to Alan earlier, for me this issue is best compared to a football match.

If a player goes down injured you have the choice to carry on or kick it out of play to stop play. It is sporting to kick the ball out, but not necessarily a law as sometimes the injured player feigned that injury to stop a goal.....

If a player gets disconnected you have the choice to take the frame or replay the frame. It is sporting to replay the frame, but not necessarily a law as sometimes the disconnected player feigned that disconnection to stop themselves losing a frame......

Catch my drift? If Steph says otherwise then that is the rule.

Personally, unless I went on to win the frame while they were "not responding", I always replay that frame.

Sometimes you may think you had a good chance of a win and sometimes a good chance of a loss so I think for karma's sake, it is always fair to replay.

IMO the choice should be the player left online though

Sounds perfectly reasonable mmt.

Capping this, the rulings have been made clear anyway: Whether to replay a frame or not is entirely up to the remaining player, but good sportsmanship is encouraged.


I think that pretty much sums it up.
