Quitter - New Fighter for Tournament

[MH-Razen]

Well, in tournaments we have quitters, to bad but true.

untill now I always replaced the quitters with new fighters, but now the question: should I go on like this or leave the place empty so the tournament can go on.

THe other opponent or other fighters in tournbament are lucky then, and in small tournaments it's horrible, so which system do you prefer?

Somehow I also think the not adding a new opponent is unfair since the guy lose a chance to earn one point with the match...

That depends on the time , which the new player have..
If you kick one of the Tournament 2 days before the time period end it doesnt make sense that you replace the quitter with a new fighter.. I think the people from another group won´t think , "thats unfair" because they also want that the round goes to an end as fast as possible..

But what should we do , if the quitter fought already vs one person?

[MH-Razen]

actually I think in the special case the pther guys from group are also lacy if a guy which is not in group as far as I remember reports it two days before it ends.

Dont expect me to do everything!

I would say yes with reservations:

- only if the person didn´t fight
- only in the first round

[Silverthorn]

replacing, if the tournament is small, is probably the best action. Which is kinda unfair, of course, if there's a quitter in the semi-finals or something like that and another one gets there without fighting...

Larger tournaments won't be affected, I believe, if there's a quitter in there, and if there's one lucky guy.

Still, it may be unfair if a "substitute-gamer" would surprisingly win the tournament without fighting in the preliminary rounds. I'd leave it empty

[Lukas]

leaving empty is the best, because all have to wait longer..
And if a newb quit, and it come for the newb a really good fighter, its also unfair for the people in that group..

[MH-Razen]

@Nelo: Since the groups are random I dont really see your point

@BP: replacing right now is only in preliminary rounds. Azriel actually won the first tournament since half of the fighters quitted...

Quitters in semi-finals is just stupid - he have chance to get points and quit? And since there're more versed fighters anyways I doubt it'll happen often...

@Dome: as soon as the person have one fight in tournament I can't really kick it. but since it'll still take long untill they make the last it's hard...

In group stage its clear - WE ADDING new player for normal games, who are really ctive and rdy to fight! its unfair for rest players when they must work hard on each round for be 1st in group.

just all should show that they are so good for 1st place not with luck... luck will be in random in fight.
