Again, how is it a 6 hours notice? The other team suggested thursday on a monday afternoon. This leaves monday evening to thursday afternoon, rougly 72 hours, to reply. Not 6 hours.

That was a suggested time, not an actual agreed game time

The point you are missing/failing to understand is the game was giving a Default date, only 6 hours before the time on the Default date!

I’d wage a fair bit not many teams in ETF2L can get a team together within 6 hours, and assuming they were at school or work they realistically had a lot less time to get a team together.

How were they to know an admin would make a default date for the same day 3 days earlier?

I don’t think anyone has suggested the OP was faultless in this, but as the time between the default date being set and time of the match, this was only ever going to end in a default loss.

Just for you because you can’t seem to read:

Checking the match page anywhere between monday 6:44pm and thursday 7:30pm would have prevented that.

Could admins also not set default dates to 20:30 and other such useless times. You might as well just not bother doing it as no one will play that time.

If there are specific times at which you’d prefer to play (or not to play), post them in the match comments, or your team description if they’re a constant thing.

1. the suggested date was never send as a challenge (aka we didnt get an email)
2. schedule deadline was october 24th not 28th. why wasnt it set on sunday?!
3. a 6 hour notice is almost like nothing. we dont hang out the whole day on etf2l match pages. We could have easily drawn a wildcard if somebody would have noticed that. But we do have a real life. We go to school and to work. We do sports and other stuff, which all can easily last longer than 20:00

here something everybody should read again (by nuck chorris)

But in this special case, Team 2 didn´t even have the chance to react within 6 hours. They couldn´t even draw a wildcard as they didn´t notice the defdate on time, which is truly not their fault on such short notice – most people have real life business to take care of in the daytime. That´s simply unfair, even if their opponents made the huge effort to post a “Thursday 20.30 cet?” on the matchpage – there´s no way Woo could notice that date being set within a few hours and react to it in time. A default win is just plain wrong and it should be changed imo, maybe by taking one wildcard away from Woo or something to remind them to look at their matchpages/emails more often – but that should be it, and they should have their chance at playing this match.

And actually it´s not an attitude thing, as some try to make it look that way – if Woo wouldn´t care that much, they wouldn´t protest against this strange decision.

btw what I don´t really get, in this league of sportsmen, with all the fairness provided by most of its players – why does DR reject to replay the match? That´s actually the worst part for me, and shows some real lack of manners.

see?

but admins dont get an instant default loss for it. ;)

and whats even more fatal:
admins didn’t integrate the ignorethebitchytroll-button to the etf2l board yet.
