One of the subjects I get to deal much with as admin in the league is these games that are given away for different reasons.  In the beginning of the week the problem rarely shows up, its in the end of the week it does.

Therefore and for just that reason I am sure there in certain spread manipulation happens in the league.

It has of course happen on and off in periods since the league started for at the most 4 years ago.

Have also noticed the higher up in the league system you get more "give away games" are found.

This problem was tremendous for about 2 years ago when matches was given away a lot.

Now it is quite unusual, luckily (as I see it).

Some examples on what I mean:

Eliteweek, Thursday night, 2 persons got chance on the gold and all games except one are played.  One of the players wins gold if he wins the game, the other dont have anything to play for. There the bidding starts. If the 2 players are buddies the risk is overwhelming that a given game will happen "manipulation".

The same concerns if it is lowering for someone and it is the last game for that league week and 2 buddies plays- a given game happens, not always of course but this situation often  shows up.

If some player already decided to resign the league and doesnt play for lets say 3 days.. And then plays 3-4 games against buddies in the league and after that leave the league.

Daca goes in and resets the 4 games and its a total fuzz about it.

I can just as well say that I always reset all games in a division there someone resigned before Thursday morning. If the resign is done during Thursday or Friday I consider the situation...

If someone resign and regrets it , its faar away from sure that the person can get back to the league at the same place again, it really requires a solid explanation for that.

I 8 cases of 10 my answer is no..

If some old player wants to get back to the league after a long break and directly put in the higher division my answer in 10 cases of 10 is no. Everyone has to start from the beginning again..

Back to "the give away game subject"..

I consider that if you give away a game in a league/tour you are with to cause a obvious manipulation, thats just what a given game is all about. And with manipulate a league means that you affect a leagues outcome.

I dont write this to ?hang out' any players, you just got to ransack yourself and your sportmanship.

However , I will from now on I will be harsh in this matter.

Its hard to prove a obvious case of manipulation, but in some cases no direct proof is needed, it can speak for itself.. In addition if several of spectators see what is happening.. Or if the spectator function is shut off so no one can see the game, and suddenly, the game ended just in the way it was forced to end so a given game would get its proper function... Someone maybe got higher up in the league or avoided to drop down in the league.

From now on I will as admin deal with all the reports and look over them. If I consider it was a manipulation I will warn the concerned players (you are always at least 2 about it)... It can be seen as a yellow card if we compare with football...

If it happens again I will give out a red card and that player will exactly like in football,  be banished.

Then I will exclude that player from future league/tours for a longer time.. Minimum for 3 months depending on how broad it was and how many players were negatively affected by it.

To sum up it have to be a end to that we have a league which have to settle on given games/buddiegames/manipulation/someone refuses to play/take advantages with plus and so on...

So all affected and also you others.. Play fair and be a good sportsman/woman, it will pay of in the long run and we all get a nicer climate in the league and the most important of all, it will be settled in the right way!!
