[QUOTE="TRF C A Iversen, post: 432981, member: 12312"] Great questions. I see no reason someone couldn't enter both comps, as long as they play both comps out. What kind of mercy rule? I'm not sure what you mean. We'll happily discuss options here in the thread. The rule for disconnects will likely be something similar to: If one player is in front by more than 14pts in the 2nd half at the time of disconnect then they win the game. If a disconnect happens after the 65th minute (or in the 1min vicinty of) then if the team leading is leading by 7pts or more, then they will be awarded the win. If games disconnect in the 1st half, more often than not it'll be a legitimate connection issue. In the case of persistent connection issues, an attempt to replay will be made a few times until each user has tried enough and if no luck, then please discuss that in the fixture threads that will be located here at that time. People's connections are their own issue and we need to be as fair as possible. We can't ourselves run an overly complex system for combating this kind of potential cheating and these are the best methods we have at a forum level for ensuring a game goes most of the distance. Please bear in mind that we do want a competition that people enjoy and we may look at measures of removing people from competitions who seem to consistently have a connection issue when people are coming back into a game. If we get the word from a number of other members, then that'll build up a profile of who may or may not be included in future comps also. It's likely that these competitions will not commence until at least one week after release, to enable people to purchase the game and upskill themselves somewhat. So this may also tie in reasonably closely to the start of the actual cup. Given the speeds at which video game tourneys can complete, it may not run for the duration of the world cup. Hope these answers help. :) [/QUOTE]
