Current disconnection policy requires you to wait 15 mins for the opponent to show up. Current BBox draws are done every 15 mins. Playing multiple games at once is generally frowned upon from comments I read.
Consequently, one could end up being scheduled, your opponent is a no show and thus have to wait 15 mins until you can have the match voided. As a result you would miss the next draw and could end up waiting for 30mins total to get a game.
Whilst you can always activate other teams it could result in a multiple game scenario if your opponent comes back after 14 mins say.
So, would it be possible to adjust the disconnect wait time to 10 mins while the BBox draws are done every 15 mins?
Also, when support tickets etc are filed. Is a log maintained of unreliable coaches (and penalties applied) or could someone abuse the system? |

This has already been done, as i understand it, admins are quite willing to deshedule after 10 mins
Also, to paraphrase kryten, admins 'pass notes' about unreliable coaches. |

BlackBox games can be unscheduled after 10 minutes if there is a 'no show'. We do keep track of who is not showing to take actions if needed. |

Nice, once my internet and modem told me "stop" when i tried download a client to play sheduled match, After restart modem and browser plus download the client it was 25 mins. I'v joined to the match and played one turn, but my opponent told me, that match can't be uploaded because he desheduled it, but he still have been in the game. I have not idea why. Imo my opponent knew, that i have some problems with connection, but he won't play vs me and used my connections problem to desheduling match. That's all.
Christer told me, that there are matches each 15 mins and no more wasting of time other coaches right ? But my opponent waited on me and after desheduling match he even didn't activate team again.
So there is a way to avoiding matches, if you won't play vs the dwarfs then don't showing up. |

@Spiro, if you feel like not showing up, be ready to face the penalties, those won't be light. Better think twice before you suggest some thing idiotic like that. |

@Woodstock, i don't feel like i will not showing up OKAY? It was only digression. I wrote, that i had problem with my modem and my opponent desheduled match. You have read wrong section. |

What did I read wrong about this sentence? You suggest that not showing up is a way of avoiding certain match ups. I pointed out that it is idiotic to believe that some one could do that without getting punished.
I never said any thing about your modem or issues with your internet. |

I know, you just picking up some digression that is more interesting for you than my problems. I wrote, that it's possible, that my opponent used my connection problems to deshedulling match, but you can't see this.
edit: yeah, interesting is only this what you are choosing, i hope there will be more issues with the internet connection. |

Your personal problems are not interesting no (this thread is not about you, is it?). Besides that, your opponent followed the rules, case closed. |
