Hey everyone.

My team “Clones-Inc” are in quite the wierd predicament here today and we decided to take this up on the forum as we are think we have been unfairly treated.

The problem is regarding our match against Logix in division 4D.

The original default date for the match against Logix would have been Sunday December 6th, and we try our best to talk to Logix and propose a date for our game.. our suggestion was the default day (december 6th).

After a full week of trying to get a hold of Logix they write a msg on the match tread saying they wish to wildcard the default date because they cant play.

We are informed by Daykiller that Logix cannot wildcard the date, since we are in the last week of competition and Wildcards cannot be used within the last play week. Daykiller informs us that worst case scenario is that we wait until sunday and get a default win if they cannot play that day.

But then something wierd happens today, when we log on and tjeck our match thread the Admin staff has proposed a new default day of Wed. Decmeber 2nd.

For us this day just dosnt work at all, first of all if we had to play at this date, we would have 3 officials in a row, giving us little to no time to actualy prepare for our matches and since every single one is importent for our possible relegation to division3 next year, we hardly think this is a fair treatment and we have been informed by Snowie that he will not do anything about the default date at all.

Besides this, one of our players has allready planned to attend a birthday and come home around 9 (when the match is supposed to be played) so we could get 2 maps of practices in before our Official the next day.

So if we are supposed to play on that date, we will most likely have to use a merc (witch Logix can deny, if they so please)

Secondly we proposed a date to Logix sunday witch they didnt respond to except for their (according to Daykiller) illigal wildcard, so we can hardly see how this is fair treatment to us when we were the ones who were activly trying to get the match played. Secondly i cannot see how its fair that the admins set a default date that forces us to play 3 officials in a row, instead of setting a different day giving us a day to get some practice in so we can prepare.

In our oppinon the original default date of December 6th should be inforced as we were the ones trying to get the match planned out, Logix used (or tryed to) an illigal wildcard because they cannot play that day, forcing us to play a date we cannot.

I hope some resolve to this matter is possible.

nvm… asked someboby of clones to schedule and he said, that he has to ask the team fpr this date

btw nobody tryed to inform us

As I said on IRC, last night Logix rejected your proposed date of Sunday. This meant that both teams had not agreed on a date when the scheduling deadline was reached last night. So this morning, an admin looked at the page, looked at your schedules, and picked a date when you were both free to set as the default date. Logix had rejected sunday so presumably they did this because they were not available to play on sunday. You had games on other days this week, and we don’t set default dates for friday or saturday, so the date was set for Wednesday.

Also, as I said, you are welcome to change the date providing both teams agree.

The wildcard issue is irrelevant as Logix did not use a wildcard, they simply refused to accept your proposed date, meaning there was no date decided for the game.

So why do you pick the date that we can’t play on? The official default date is sunday, not wednesday. It makes no sense that you force an unofficial default date in favor of Logix, as this date is not the official default date.

We can’t really play wednesday, so it makes no sense to force the default date this day instead?

!admin @ irc?

He said he spoke to 2 admins already, forum is the next step i think. Sometimes one to one just doesn’t pan out for you :)

This isnt something we would post if we didnt feel it was importent for others than our self. We simply cannot believe this is how the default day system should work so within this perticular case and it dosnt help that the head admin of etf2l says something completly different than Snowie did.

you has a week too, but that should not be the problem. yesterday a mate told, that is ist block next sunday to wednesda, so i declined the date of sunday, but see match comment. i dont like the way, the default date is set, too.

right, the system is kind of fail! 2 days are little short. we should discuss that in other etf2l forums.

Would you like some danish bacon with your whine?
Snowie seems to have handled this intelligently, staff arn’t paid to sort out your inability to arrange a game with another team so accept the decision. You still have time to arrange the game on another day so add the other clan leader to steam and stop crying.
