In UGC, monday is “match day”, and everybody knows this. I have never had a team not show up, or had trouble finding scrims/warmups for UGC.

A default day each week would be great

I would use a wildcard when A some technical issues appear or B someone has real life stuff to do, and you cant always know about these problems 24h in advance. Allthough some system to remove “we need to practise the map more” wildcards would be nice but nearly impossible to make a solid system for it

ohohohoh wildcard police is forming.

It’s super annoying when a team tells you they will 90% wildcard their match tonight

Yes, but it happens when a team has no balls and they act like faggots.

In my opinion, the only thing which could be an improve is making games which schedule was accepted by both team-leaders to be not wildcard-able (you can wildcard only default-date matches).

But yeah, what’s the point of changing something what has been used for many seasons and people are used to it.

default date is sunday every week, its only different if both teams agree otherwise or if 1 team does not respond to proposed schedules from the other team (or if 1 team already has a game on that sunday)

If teams took the start of the season more seriously and were actually prepared, I think 1 wildcard would be acceptable (for Prem at least). If ETF2L can be on the ball next season and have a extra week to handle pre-season playoffs, that might help?!

increase the amount of wildcards to 3 per season, but make them extend the deadline by only one week

Having a default day, such as UGC’s monday also stops many people from being able to play in the league as that may be a day that they aren’t available on. It also means there is rarely any effort to try and schedule another date. Besides, UGC and ETF2L both have completely different league setups, as ETF2L lets you know what all your matches are, whereas you don’t in UGC until a few days before, shortening the dates you can also play, soooo

Having the possibility to wildcard > Playing a useless map during a scrim
Teams just don’t have a sub/merc as strong as their main for every single class, there can be situations where a wildcard is the only good solution.

The system is fine as it is. I personally have rarely (if ever) felt the necessity to use a wildcard, but they’re still a very convenient little feature to have in the event of an emergency.

Question: Why is it fine to issue minor warnings only to teams who purposely play their games later than scheduled?

Question number 2: Why is the existence of wildcards a bigger problem that that?
