Ph 2 round
lengths: |
|
- as
always, the standard length of a WTC round is 10 days. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
-
for the first five rounds of Phase 2, if the date ends in a 4, it's a
deadline! |
|
|
|
|
-
all rounds include at least 3 days during that are Saturdays or Sundays |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ph 2 L128 is
longer … |
-
because there are as many matches in the L128 as in all the other KO rounds
put together! |
|
|
|
-
to try to limit and scheduling problems caused by a significant number of
players being at the DO |
|
|
|
-
to give 3 or 4 days to identify anyone likely to default and let a LL with
10+ days still left to the d/l |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
QFs, etc are
longer … |
-
because no. of games per match rises, so it is more likely that an extra
session will be needed. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you are away
during the tournament and you are wondering whether it is ok to enter or not
… |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To be fair to
the other players, a default (or a withdrawal too late to let in a lucky
loser) in Phase 2, results in an automatic |
1-year ban from
online tournaments unless we are satisfied that it is for a very good,
unforeseeable reason. A default or late |
withdrawal in
Phase 1 may result in a ban
if the same player has defaulted in the past or defaults in future. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
So, if you are
going to be away for half of the days (or more) in any one round, especially
if those days are consecutive days, |
you should only
enter the tournament if you would be willing to find a way to play while you
are away (e.g. at an Internet café) |
IF it turned
out that there was absolutely no other way to get your match completed by the
deadline. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In
most cases, you would not actually have to play while you are away - the kind
of situation in which you would is if you |
were completely
unavailable for the first 7 days of a 10-day round like R2 and your opponent
was completely unavailable. |
for
the last 4 days. Even in this situation, you may be able to arrange to get
your R1 match finished early and ask those |
playing in the
match whose winner will be your R2 opponent to play early too, so that you
can play R2 before you go away. |
ACs will help
as much as they can, but basically, it is your responsibility to get all your
matches played on time if you enter. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you think
you may be a borderline case and you need some advice before making a final
decision about whether to enter, |
please write
with a note of your unavailable dates to tournaments@tantrix.co.uk. |
