First level: CTF-Switchback-PRO2 (rd.de server Germany)
Since both teams had problems with the other's server, they didn't accept their opponent's server. I asked them if they would accept a two server war, but »rd° answered no.

According to the screenshots from the servertesting the average pings looked like:
rd server:
39,2 ms for rd
44,8 ms for apota

apota server
51,2 ms for rd
33,6 ms for apota

According to the rules, the pings were "equal" on the rd server (equal = less than 125%), and since the teams couldn't agree on a one server war, neither on a two server war, I forced the match on the rd server, where rd had 5,6 avg. ms advantage.

After the first map played, 1-2 from APOTA left the server with the reason they have too high lags, which means they rd won by forfeit.

Screenshots:



»rd° win by 5 to 1

From what Im told servers was tested with some players that then didnt play the war. If this is the case: forcing server based on ping for players that didnt play is wrong according to the rules.
All players should test server or be considered having 0 ping.


Btw, apota changed also players. I cant remember, that "3T" has tested the server...

I has been said all, what needed to be said. It was a blemish of APOTA... Over and out.

that was in so far true that outcast normally wouldnt have played the first map if the game would have been started 22 cet (he came 22.10-15 ..)
we tested with all players who were there cause we have different lineups on the maps concerning tactics and late time...
maps are just decided after the server test..so I coulnt set up the lineup of first map since it wasnt clear what map would be the first..
Taifun would have played on lava
aerosoul on the 4th map which was switchback as well
and just god knows who still would been there if there would have been a 5th map..

10.2 If a clan only has lower average ping than it's opponent on it's home country server(s), they are deemed to have PING ADVANTAGE for their server(s) and all other servers should be used in preference.

this rule has never been applied while I've been around, and yes we've tried more than a dozen times.. Even on times when it really should've been applied, it hasn't.

Also the 10.4 rule is just bs, should be removed because there are always millions of interpretions of what is 'abnormally high' ping.

On topic: IMO Dev made the right decisiong about the servers, tho i cant agree on how the home country server rule has been interpreted.

Anyways it doesnt remove the fact that it's quite shamefull to forfeit just after first map especially if the map went the way rD players say.

always funny to see people trying to outsmart an supervisor
it wont happen they know the rules better then 90% here so just shut it
anyway whats with the time?? 23.30 and it started at 21.00?
so 2.30 hours of servertesting? and no1 thought lets get a neutral server? ahwell gl rD and i do hope u fix yr servers once, the lagspikes alone scares me from playing there

why do you think the entire rule 10 is divided into smaller rules? we start with rule 10.1 and when we can't get a solution with just 10.1 we go to 10.2, and if that isn't enough we move on to 10.3 etc. There's no need to read the entire rule, because basically according to you 5 ger v 5 ger should also not be played on a ger server because there's a home server advantage.

Dev made the correct decision, according to the very first rule 10.1 it was clear that only the rd server is fair, regardless of how used H^S & Soulja are to their ping. So the rest of the rules don't count

becouse in older cups we had to follow all the rules not just 10.1!
#64 [GD]Sjeng ([GD] )  7 Jun 2008 08:21Reply
The solution for this is was rly easy.
If APOTA was on time on quakenet & the servertesting was on time. They could have gotten a 3rd server other german server/uk/nl/italian cba rly which country. Would be better to play on rd server.
Played on the rd server many times as dutchy and i also got fed up with the lagspikes every time so...

But can't blame rd for this, they just followed the rules because the match started too late.

Well what is done is done so no more arguing theres not point to discuss a thing that it isn't going to change.
But imo the rules needs to be interpreted or explained correctly coz imo when theres more than 1 rule all of them must be applied or followed, not only the point that benefit one part of the players.

uhm the thing is while server testing ,while first map and after first map before they left nooone asked to test a neutral server - so why should we do if cb forced to play on our server..tbh we didnt came to the idea so far cause it was not needed for us anyway

and my point was more that it was pretty not nice that 3 (or 2 then) of them leave without saying anything really..and after 20-25 mins they want us to test another server..( in that case they asked for a german server..)

Well its a sad thing that the players left after first map, sorry about not giving you a full semifinal RD.

Consider the time (23.30 I belive) I can understand their decission though. Playing on a server that were bad for them didnt give an opportunity to a fair game so they obviously didnt want to spend half night when they couldnt play properly.
@ Hunter- saying you guys would be willing to change to another german server - why not nl server or uk ?? Would have been more fair IMO.

All this posts about rules ....
I saw servertest ss and the RD guy that pinged 84 on our server I didnt see playing in first map. Maybe the 1 replacing him would have better ping on our server then a 2 server war could have been an option.....

19:5 Players who do not test a server are considered to have ping 0 on that server for the final server decision.
19:9 If a clan has more players available than are needed to fill a team (e.g 7 players for a 5v5 match) they must inform the referee and other team. Every player who intends to play the match should test all the servers, the referee should record pings for every player, the clans must wait for the referee's permission to swap round players during server testing.

Though, I was not around last night and dont know exactly what happened.
Sad with a semi-final like this though !!!!!

Everytime the same shit with the pings... look at hunter and soul, playing with ping 60 and they are still great players... so there IS the possibility to hit sth

if it wouldent have been their home country server we would have been forced to play on theirs, but now as it is you have to understand that 10.1 doesent count on their server becouse its their home country server and they had lower average ping!
so automaticaly that server is the last resort...
and stop saying 10.1 all the time and give me a valid reason why 10.2 isent a rule anymore?


The 10.1 rule is there to define equal pings. You can't go around prohibiting a clan to play on their homeserver if the pings are considered equal, otherwise a 1 ms average difference would mean another server should be used.
#49 Kaboom/Claves ([SHARP] )  6 Jun 2008 19:23Reply
DeV made the right decision here. According to the rules, the pings were considered even, so the rules mania quoted don't apply.

I'msorry to say, but leaving the server is just immature, and shows a lack of sportsmanship from apota side.

Besides if the server was really that bad, and apota server was aswell, you could've always looked for a server you could borrow.

Anyway it's no use complaining about the decision nor rd's server, it's most likely yourselves to blaim for this.

Dev has made the correct decission. All of you know this. A diffenrence of 5 ms is nothing.
Dont look for the error at dev, look at the error at APOTA.

If the match starts at 22 cet and APOTA playes a 3on3 instead of testing at 21:30 cet, they dont have to wonder, if the get a worser server.
Normally they would lose the servertest, if they not ready to test servers at 21:30 cet! We decided to test their server anyway to make a nice semi-final.
So if you looking for broken rules, look at the server-test rules. As i know, all players would be counted with ping 0, if they arenot ready to test the server 21:30 cet.

Just my 2 cents.

ClanBase considers pings to be 'equal' when the average pings of one team are no more than 125% the amount of their opponent.

The rule you're talking about is "If a clan only has lower average ping than it's opponent on it's home country server(s), they are deemed to......." - But they don't have lower average ping according to 10.1.

A german server was out of the question dev. the rule you state eiminates it. you can't say " yeah it was more or less fair ". that doesn't really count. ( and don't give me the 0.000000001 difference.. we're not children... a difference of 4 ms is acceptable since pings are variable and change all the time. ).

the only option here would have been to search a different server that wasn't from germany. .nl perhaps?

and because of the servers... rd public server is idd laggy and bad, but the clan server is fair! and sure i am used to play with ping 60-70... but thats no reason why we should play on a unfair server according the rules... and all UK server are bad for me, not because of ping... but because of all these emormous lag spikes.

and rd would be ready to play on a neutral server, but when APOTA come too late, maybe 22.30cet(match time was 22cet) and we know we could play 5 maps, so we hadnt more time to find and test one more server.

so i would say everything was handled with the rules, although a forfeit win suxx... especially in the semis -.-

so IF/aeiou cu in final^^

we came late? we were on your server waiting for you to come and check the pings...

well as far as i know the server test should start like 30 mins before..and when i asked you you said few of your players are playing 3on3..
10 min before match time we all 8rd) checked pings on your server that server test can go faster..but it wasnt the case..short before 22 cet we all were able to server test which took as I expected almost 20 mins..
+ map choose and discussion etc we started much later than match start time

and I wanna say what i said in irc yesterday
We would maybe have agreed with another german server , if apota would have asked us right after the first map instead of some of them leaving and letting us wait 20-25 mins where we didnt know what would happen..

also noone asked bout another german server before the first map - so all went legally


idd.

...and anyway without this whole shit.... leaving after playing only ONE map (of minimum 3 and maximum 5 maps) is damn wrong!!! u had still the chance to win etc... thats kinda behaviour of kids... -.-
so take a look of for example SvK, so u know how to play a semi, also when u lost the first map!

Heh, read 10.1 pls... Till you don't have more than 125% of their pings during the servertesting, you can't say you have higher pings... What are we talking about? The only server where these conditions were met was the rd server, therefore I forced the match there... If you started having a lot worse pings during the match, then blame your ISP but not me please.

(Now let's read the other comments)


yeah but if your read 10.2 if we have higher average ping than them on their home country server they are deemed to have ping advantage and all other servers should be used in preference.
so it doesent matter if its the most equal server becouse that server should only be used if there aint any other server around.
so we should have played our server or any other non german server.
if our pings would have been the same or we would have had ping advantage on their server we wouldent have anything to say.

thats how i understand the rule.

Heh, read 10.1 pls... Till you don't have more than 125% of their pings during the servertesting, you can't say you have higher pings... What are we talking about? The only server where these conditions were met was the rd server, therefore I forced the match there... If you started having a lot worse pings during the match, then blame your ISP but not me please.

(Now let's read the other comments)

and rd would be ready to play on a neutral server, but when APOTA come too late, maybe 22.30cet(match time was 22cet) and we know we could play 5 maps, so we hadnt more time to find and test one more server.

so i would say everything was handled with the rules, although a forfeit win suxx... especially in the semis -.-

so IF/aeiou cu in final^^

we came late? we were on your server waiting for you to come and check the pings...


well as far as i know the server test should start like 30 mins before..and when i asked you you said few of your players are playing 3on3..
10 min before match time we all 8rd) checked pings on your server that server test can go faster..but it wasnt the case..short before 22 cet we all were able to server test which took as I expected almost 20 mins..
+ map choose and discussion etc we started much later than match start time

and I wanna say what i said in irc yesterday
We would maybe have agreed with another german server , if apota would have asked us right after the first map instead of some of them leaving and letting us wait 20-25 mins where we didnt know what would happen..

also noone asked bout another german server before the first map - so all went legally

You should arrange all the things BEFORE starttime =)
Servertest is normally about 15 mins before the match starts so you could get a other serv.

Voted Soul btw =D

rd server sux.. we all know that.. but this is your own fault apota..

Why did you agree for that server? it's rly easy to get a 3rd server because yours is dutch lol. Just spam IRC before you start playing xD

This is rly sad.. another clan who should fo from cups
#19 mania (APOTA )  6 Jun 2008 11:27Reply
we had 2 swedish players 1 finnish 1 nl 1 Slovak Republic....
they had 4 germans playing on a german server!
they cant lag on a bloody server from their own country like we do from diffrent countrys and pinging 60 on a german server when you are german shouldent be counted tho their problem is probly in their router...

this is how i understood the rules...

10.2 If a clan only has lower average ping than it's opponent on it's home country server(s), they are deemed to have PING ADVANTAGE for their server(s) and all other servers should be used in preference.

10.6 A home country server is defined as being located in the same country as the majority of the clan's players who performed the server testing, regardless of their personal country preferences on ClanBase. Checks will be based on their ips connected to the server.

and i tried to tell Dev about these rules but he just said only ping counts...

but hey i dont care this was my last cup anyway!
gl in the cup!

Well played hunter & soulja. Cant say I am not annoyed at APOTA players leaving the server.

rD - Well played.

APOTA - Nice Friends & SVK the others have pretty much ruined the only dignity APOTA had left.....

(that was before the match started, not cos i left on purpose or nything)

don't blame lag, blame deity ! lal

To bad for the players with real sportsmanship, SvK & Friends/Frenzy.

Oh voted the last one, cos I don't know how a dutchy can ping so high in a german server (even though it is rD server)?

hmm it's to bad that there was only one map... was kinda difficult for me because i was sitting at home for my PC had the SC running and didn't realy know what to talk about... ^^ i think i talk a lot of bull crap but it was still fun so i vote myself for the great SC from me ^^ ah to bad i'm not in the list.. so i vote for outcast.
#11 Ast3rix (»rd°)  6 Jun 2008 07:12Reply
The first map was much closer then it looks like. After about 10 min it was 1:1 and after about 15 min it was 2:1 for rd. Then APOTA opened their def and we could manage some more caps.

Then happened something strange. 3 APOTA players left server and doesnt come back. SVK and frenzy tried to get them back, but failed. We waited about 25 mins and the we got forfeit. We didnt accept other server, cause it was 23:30 cet and wanted to go to bad and not to test other server. If we would accept testing other server, we would test minimum until 0:00 cet and play until 1:00-2:00 cet. Thats to late for me and some other rd player.

Im sorry about winning like this. I would like to win the match regulary.

Not nice, Apota :\

Blame everything on the ping = shit

I play on most servers with ping 80+ and don´t whine that hard about laggs

So rD deserved to win
#7 «-TuF-Mav-» («-TuF-» )  6 Jun 2008 00:23Reply
Shame it had to end like this.... TBh i feel a little sorry for Apota as i know Hunter and Soulja ping high to all servers even in their own country due to their routing and are used to playing with such pings. Unfortunate when normally the apota server would ping fairest and atm is probably one of the most even servers out their at this time. I know some germans have slight lagg on the apota server but alot do not, similar to me as my routing does not like german servers. But tbh server was always gonna be an issue in this match. I would have probably tried for a neutral server maybe in the uk because the difference in pings between the individual players would have been less even with soulja and hunter, who if memory serves me correct ping 60-72 on uk servers ( what i mean by this is that most german/nl/swedish players would ping 44-60 on uk server which would be closer to the other higher pinging players.
BUt as forest gump would say 'shit happens'. SHame apota didnt finish the game gl rd in final

oh and 1 more thing can i recommend that for the Voltage/KM semi final in div 1 they try and borrow the apota server since they are all dutch and tbh i'd hate to see another game with server disputer becuase i know the voltage server has the phantom blue team packet loss bug with all players on that team getting 30-50 p/l.....
