As you all know the 1st playoff match did not go well. There was a discrepancy in the rules that caused the match to become chaotic and turn into a iron man match. This was a direct result of a rule not being updated when it should have been, which is my responsibility.
I have decided to do a full replay of the match. In addition the rule in question is being changed. Because of how this change will affect OT in the playoffs and finals, all 3 teams will be in the replay. I have updated the schedule to show that Match 1 and 2 will be played this weekend.
Match 1: Gust vs. Opulence vs. DOMINATION 02:00 EST (Winner: Championship)
Match 2: DAMN_Yankees vs. ReDS vs. Fuk U 04:00 EST
The new rule is as follows concerning OT.
4.10 If there is no flag winner within regulation time in a playoff or finals match OT will be handled as follows:
a) Bursts will be granted to the arena at 90 and 105 minutes.
b) Freq size will be reduced to 8 at 100 minutes and 6 at 110 minutes. The pilots to be specced must be pre-determined 5 minutes before by the captain of each team. It'll be up to the pilot to spec on time or be specced without warning, if the team don't indicate who should be specced, then the ref will spec whomever they want. If it appears the match will be going in OT it will be the referee's responsibility to ask each team who should be specced each time.
c) If there is still no flag winner after 120 minutes the match will be replayed will all 3 teams.
I again apologize for the inconvenience to everyone.
So our appeal was based on the fact that the ref was running OT using last seasons rules and not over the confusion after the wrong team was specced at the end of regulation. Good news for me as I'll be on broadband this weekend and will be able to play. Last Sunday I was at my parents using their dial-up connection and managed to play two whole minutes before getting specced.
