1.3 Separate schedule & match deadline for every match – Default Date for unscheduled matches

Every match has its own schedule and match deadline. All deadlines can be found on our [Calendar] or at the [Events] subpage.

If a match is not arranged by the schedule deadline, admins will decide a default match date. After that, a match date can only be changed if both teams agree on another date or if one team takes a wildcard.

3.3 Scheduled Match can only be postponed by using a Wildcard or by contacting an admin if both teams agree

Once a game is scheduled and entered in our Calendar, it can only be postponed behind the match deadline if one team uses their wildcard or if both teams agree. If both teams agree to the reschedule (for example because there is a LAN) and want to postpone the match please contact an admin an explain the case.

This one above is important. A etf2l admin has to agree on rescheduled matches that go beyond either the normal or the wildcard deadline.

Minor warnings
Unplayed match after match deadline

So if you have not contacted an admin if you reschedule a match after the deadline, you will get penalties.

EXPLANATION “WILDCARD”
Every team got a specific number of Wildcards per competition which have to be used if a scheduled match has to be postponed without opponent’s agreement. A wildcard has to be used at least 15 minutes before the game is supposed to start. A wildcard can be used by selecting the wildcard function located on the top of the match page. Please try to contact your opponent if you use your wildcard on a very short notice.

A wildcarded match has to be played no more then 14 days after the Wildcard was taken.

1.6 Every team has 2 Wildcards for a Season

Every team can use two Wildcards in between a Season. [Wildcard Explanation]
Wildcarded matches can not be postponed again (by another wildcard).

But there is no such thing that says u cant use a wildcard in week 9.

These are the rules on scheduling/wildcarding matches.

Also thes baddies are really bad at scheduling:

http://etf2l.org/matches/23522/
http://etf2l.org/matches/23345/
http://etf2l.org/matches/22758/

tl;dr:

There should be no possible way to schedule games after 19/12/2010, if all admins acted correctly, unless u use a wildcard, and all teams that failed to schedule 9 matches before the deadline are morons*.

Hmm.

Spike, what’s the matter with you living in this virtual environment 24/7?

Rumor has it, the deadline will be xmas evening.

(06:39:55) •• Crasp changes topic to “Welcome to the European Team Fortress 2 League (ETF2L) – visit us @ http://etf2l.org | If you need an admin, please type !admin and wait for an admin to respond to you | All matches must be played by no later than the 24th!”

We have scheduled our last game at the 22nd December. If the deadline is 19 there shouldn’t be possible to schedule at that time. The system is pretty fucked up and it’s confusing many people.

“A wildcard has been taken for this match by renoB.
You must reschedule and play this game before 28/12/2010.”

If the deadline is on the 19th the admins should make the “system” not scheduling the matches for us after the deadline.

Our opponents can’t play at the 19th, what to do?
Are we winning on default? Since that would’ve been pretty gay..
Are you gonna let us play the 22nd?
Feedback please!

thank you!
