Match Requirements: show up and take it seriously
Posted: Wed Jan 27, 2016 11:28 pm
Just a reminder, when you agree with someone to play a DCL match, you are agreeing to the following:
- you will actually show up to play
- it will actually be YOU, and not someone else, using your pilot name (save your pranks for "fun games", not DCL matches)
- you will make a reasonable effort to win the match, or at least to score well (obviously you will sometimes not succeed, but that's different from not trying.) It's OK to get frustrated and struggle for a few minutes, or to take risks that don't work out, but please don't waste your opponent's time with a "match" you both know is a farce.
- you will make a reasonable effort to actually complete the match in a reasonable amount of time. Taking a two-minute-long Warlord timeout is fine; actually ordering pizza and walking away from the game for 45 minutes is not.
If something comes up that interferes with your ability to play a match reasonably, come to an agreement with your opponent to reschedule, suspend, or replay a match.
