Q: What is the Admins Online chat?

A: This chat is simply a way for you to contact an admin on the site if you have an issue that needs immediate attention.  This is similar to Live Support.

Please understand, anything that deals with matches on a particular ladder must still be submitted using a Support Ticket.  Admins will normally not answer questions about issues involving competition.

If you have a general site question, please use the Admins Online feature.

Q: Why do teams receive points for a forfeit win?

A: After all, it's an easy win for doing nothing right?


Points need to be awarded in a fair fashion so that those who WERE ready to play and showed up for their match are not penalized for the fact that the other team didn't show up - it's all about balance and equality. One team could get a really bad go at things if they have several encounters with participants that are resulting in forfeits, and it'sreally no fault of theirs. They get locked into a challenge, only to end upwith fewer points for the win.

Yes fewer points are award for a forfeit win. Ultimately the ELO system is designed to give more points for defeating someone who is ranked higher, and fewer points for defeating someone ranked lower. This applies for forfeits too as it's treated as just a standardwin/loss. The ELO system is all about balance, and you'll all see that as timegoes on and the development coefficients change based on activity that it willlevel itself out.

Furthermore it's the responsibility of theLadder Head Admin to approach teams that are constantly giving up consecutiveforfeits. They even have tools in their admin panels that give them reports ofthis type of activity to make it easier to pinpoint them and remove them from competition.

The bottom line here is that a forfeit will alwaysbe treated as a loss in order to maintain fairness. That's also the reason thatthe "Declines per Week" system was implemented, so as to give teams "freebies" inside a 7 day window so that issues like this are lessfrequent.

Q: How can I find the game-affiliated forums?

A: Go to your ladder standings or tournament bracket that you are currently a part of.

From there, simply choose the sub-nav bar menu "Forums" and you will have the ability to see all forums that deal with your game.

Q: Why is my team on the Tournament Waiting List?

A: Teams are placed on the waiting list for one reason; Not enough eligible players to be seeded into the active brackets. This can be for one of 2 reasons.

1. The tournament is NOT a Cash Payout tournament, and your team has less than the required number of players when the tournament was joined. Any team member joining the team AFTER a team has joined a tournament will need to opt-in to participate in the tournament by going to their Tournament Memberships page and clicking on the notification. Alternatively using the Tournament Join Wizard will let members join the tournament by way of choosing their team from the available list.

2. If the tournament IS a Cash Payout tournament, teams are placed on the waiting list until the REQUIRED number of players have processed their buy-in for the tournament. Once enough players have processed their buy-ins, the team is seeded into the active brackets and NO ADDITIONAL team members will be allowed to participate. This is done in an effort to ensure all teams pay in the same amount for buy-ins as others and so that an accurate Cash Payout can be calculated as such.

Q: My team has joined the tournament, but I can't see them in the available list to join!

A: This will only ever happen for Cash Payout tournaments. Since the buy-in is per player, teams are locked to a specific number of players for the duration of the tournament. Once that number of players have processed their buy-ins, the roster becomes locked and the team is seeded from the waiting list into the active brackets. No other team members may join at that point, and they will no longer appear in the list of available teams when using the Tournament Join Wizard.

For non-cash payout tournaments, there is no cap to the number of players on a team's roster.

Q: How do I add a logo to my team?

A: Follow the directions listed below to add a logo to your team:

Q: Someone accepted my match, but never agreed on a time... what do I do?

A: From the Challenge Management area, click the "Prove-It!" tab, and then click the "My Accepted Challenges" sub tab. From there simply locate your challenge and click the edit button. On the next screen, you have the option to "Back Out" of the challenge, which will then reset it so that another member may accept your Prove-It! challenge.

Q: How do I remove a team member from my team?

A: Navigate to your Account Home page by clicking your Avatar in the upper right portion of any screen, or alternatively click the "My Profile" link in the "My FraggedNation" main menu item.
