New Ladle Rules (Split from Lade 37 discussion)

Ok I like that. It's totally reasonable and clear. I'll add it now. If there is any protest we'll just revert.

So what does it say now? I could not really follow anymore .. anyway i had the idea to just count the first match as a loss for the team who is not able to start in time ... would shorter the match and the team would not be totally disqualified.

This is what happens anyway. After 10 minutes, a team can start a match without the opponent's consent. If they are not ready, they may loose the first match.

The slight change in wording I made just reflects what we already practice. If you are taking too long, we start without you.

How about in the later rounds: Here is my hypothetical.

It's the semi finals. One team is already there having faced fairly easy opponants, while the other semifinalist, who has just finished their grueling matches, now tries to join the server for their semifinal. However, its full, due to ladle's popularity, and after 10 minutes they only manage to get 4 or 5 members in the server.

It's not their fault, but the other team can now start 4v6 or 5v6?

Seems stupid how liz ended up signed up for 2 teams because of the 2 changes after the brackets rule that redices flexibility yet eggcozy can play for sp without even being on the board
Durka broke the rules too by adding a second team leader to tx1
Is anyone checking for this or does no one care? Personally I don't care about any of these rule breaks & don't think any action should be taken but it kind of mocks the system

perhaps this is unclear to clarify what im saying is if there are rules regarding how many changes you can make after the brackets are done etc etc. how come you can then play with a player who's not even signed up

edit, erm..maybe this needs to go here?..I have no idea..
Perhaps team changes and seeding need to be split from any discussion about aliases

There is a new feature that kicks spectators when a new player joins. This is unlikely to be a problem in the future.

I don't know the solution. One idea is to abandon player sign-ups altogether. The other idea is a strictly managed authority (@ladle). It seems like the later is where we are heading. I know kyle is working on something like this right now, but it may be quite a while before we see what he's got.
