Did FaB change it's end of time Procedure? I know the original way was if no one died then the game was a draw. I vaguely heard that they changed it to whoever has the highest health at the end of the round after both players have had their additional turn. If that is right can you give me the link where it says it please.

This is only changed specifically for deadlocks in untimed rounds

Yeah that procedure has existed for a long time for timed elimination rounds but they changed the procedure for untimed rounds in line to ensure that a result is achieved within a reasonable amount of time

Thank you for the clarification

And, for some reason, they also changed the rule for the SUP seal (in this case, if a stalemate occurred, the game would be restarted, using the remaining time of the match).

#

Wait a minute, did they decide to rectify this rule in the pre-release?

or at least it's been the policy for as long as I've studied policy

also since pre-release is casual REL the TO can fudge things

I thought that in swiss you can replay the game with the rest of time if you stalemate too, not just for prerelease. The TRP says that you keep playing games until a player wins the required number of games (usually 1) or time expires

yeah, that is the policy in general. It never really comes into practice since games really only ever stalemate after a long grind, and there's never going to be enough time to do that twice within the alotted time

From section 3.1

For timed rounds (see Section 3.2 - Timed Rounds), the Players play games until a Player has won a specified number of games or the time in the round expires

#

Right, just worth noting that's not a special prerelease thing, it's an all timed rounds thing

yeah, I'm more just pointing out that "play anbother game" is just "the game ends in a draw" with extra steps

Ahh gotcha

#

I didn't personally see a game stalemate then run to completion at Montreal, I wonder if it happened at all 🤔

It happened during the calling day 1, two players restarted with 9min left and finished!
