Unclear on rule...

If a person crashes ( 3 times last night in our match ), does the match stop until the player reconnects ( 2v2 KB )? Or does it keep going?

Also, I know this isn't in the rules, but since Killboxes are bland, we've always had a rule in our non CAL matches that combines be white. Is this a possiblity? Or is it something to keep in mind for next season?

Thanks,

IIRC,if a person crashes within the first one minute of start, the match is restarted, after that there is no pause or restart they just have to rejoin. There is no rule on what skin has to be used.

lol, why do you make all the combines be white? its bad enough they have to jingle

Dunno, that's just how we've always done it in internal matches. Makes it easier to distinguish between teams.

5.80 Connectivity Issues

CAL is not responsible for players who experience connectivity problems. Teams should have backup players ready to join if a player gets disconnected or lags out.

If a player drops from play during the process of a match going live (live on three), the match is to be stalled until such player returns at which point the match is restarted. Likewise, if a player lags out within the first minute of play, the match is to be restarted.

If proof of malicious activity against a server or individual is provided post-match and is deemed conclusive or otherwise acceptable by league officials, the replay of a match or portions of a match may be requested. Such evidence needs to be made available as soon as possible.

Players that drop from the server but return must be sure to restart their demos and retake their screenshots as soon as they reenter the server. No additional screenshot round is required for them; they are to take them on their own.

...

If a team mate lags out after the first minute the match continues. You either need another player on stand by ready to jump in or hope your teammate can get back in quickly. The real bitch is when they time out but the server doesn't realize it just yet so they continue to spawn for the next minute. When this happens you often see the other teammate trying to protect the person until they can rejoin. I would be curious on the legality of just rcon kicking them if they have clearly timed out but the server is still spawning them as I have been in at least one match that was won by 2 points but 5-6 points were made by killing a person who timed out.

I can see how on some of the maps a black combine might be difficult to see. That said, each team gets a chance to be combine so each team gets a chance to "hide" in the shadows a little.

The real bitch is when they time out but the server doesn't realize it just yet so they continue to spawn for the next minute.

thats good sportsmanship

Hi and sorry I didn't reply faster to this but looks like we have a good team answering stuff...

I broke my leg and my mobility has been shot, as is we are in need of a second killbox person, I think Bucky would make a great Cal admin, are you still interested? If not anyone else? Poor Para has to do my duties for the weekend.... while I wait for the hard cast to be put on my foot [had surgery so no hard cast until Tuesday when staples come out ]

Anyways good job, I hope keeper you got your answers... I am not clear as to how you cant distinguished combine V rebel... like Chem said they have their own built in "here I come" jingle... but perhaps you could ask nicely of your competition to switch to white combine and you return the favor, but that would be up to individual teams


GLHF!!!

LOL!

You guys don't unpause when someone crashes? or did i read that wrong?

Yeah you read that wrong

I was just asking so I'd be clear. Like I have said before, we are not competitive in any way shape or form. But we wanted to give this CAL KB League some support so we are playing. Just looking for clarification on some things.

Yeah, and singling out an individual needs to stop here. People who persist at flaming Pomp will start getting banned from the site. I don't appreciate people driving other users away from the forums.

Aight, i had my original question answered. I guess that's all we need to discuss.
