Ending Team Matches

[Deanrover]

Often as a yellow I would receive the message

 

"Could you please come to Teams Match 541 because 4 players have left, the director is not here, and I can not escape"

 

So the yellow goes to the Team MAtch and closes it down. This is a waste of Yellow time. Furthermore, what if no yellows are available? Clearly something needs to be done.

 

A solution is thus. When playing in a Teams match, click "table" and a "request teams match is cancelled" button appears. Click this and all participants receive a message

 

"Userx has requested this Team Match be cancelled. Agree/disagree"

 

If enough people concur then the match is cancelled. I am not sure what the optimal number is. Definitely more than half (else a losing team could bail out). Maybe it should be 100%. Many factors to consider.

I have seen that when 3 or more WITHDRAW from the game, the table and the Team Match collapses.

 

So if the Director is missing and the others want to cancel the game, all they have to do is WITHDRAW from the game, using the "Call Director" button. I don't think a Yellow intervention is required.

 

So the feature is already there, only that many people are probabaly not aware that when players start scooting, the Table will collapse.

if two people scoot, the match is closed

Uday, can you please consider changing this to 3 people leaving.

 

Today in a Team match, one player was disconnected in the Other room. Unfortunately I as a host was not aware ( though I can monitor this). One of the other player instead of messaging to "Tournament" that they needed help in the form of a sub, was impatient and withdrew and that was enough for the Match to collapse

 

It will also give the Host sometime to find a sub , before another gets disconected or if someone wants to play a prank when he sees a disconnection.

 

3 looks like an Optimal number. Would appreciate if this change could be made.

This is only a suggestion, as I can no clue of other factors that affect this parameter.

I think 2 sitout seats are needed for match to collapse, created by people withdrawing. Red seat by disconnection doesn't count.

Sorry, could have been clearer. Once a match is in existence it remains in existence until

 

a) two players Withdraw (ie, 2 sitouts)

:rolleyes: it is canceled by host, td, yellow

c) it completes normally

d) time on the boards runs out (there is a longish but finite limit of time per board)
