4.11. Draws & Stalemates



If a player deliberately plays for a stalemate, administrators hold the right to decide the outcome of the game.

If there is a natural stalemate the game will be replayed.



he was deliberately trying to cause a stalemate both games, he could never win game 1 or game 2 but i was still mining and trying my best to stop him from doing this but nothing worked, he had a chance the first game and it was a rematch but he did the same game 2 i think it was fair what they did.



tournament admins gave Miniraser a loss after they determined he was "playing for a stalemate" against his opponent Ourk (which included uses swarm hosts to turtle). i15's rules state that admins can decide the result of a game if they determine a player is deliberately playing for a stalemate (

Valeranth Profile Joined August 2010 United States 100 Posts #5 This is a really dumb and bad ruling. If the game stalled for 2 hours then have the admin step in and restart the game. Don't ban a unit. Might as well force each race to play a single style.

It's the design of Swarmhost which allows these games not the balance. It's the design of Swarmhost which allows these games not the balance. Moderator lickypiddy
