WINTER 2016 WEEK 2 MATCHUPS

Week 2 of the Winter 2016 Season of The Black Crusade is here. I've got a few questions about people having trouble getting a hold of their opponents or what to do in the event of not being able to schedule a game. I've updated and cleaned -up the FAQ/League Rules page in an effort to make things easier on you guys so please give it a read if you’re unclear on anything.

Please message your opponent on cardgamedb no later than Wednesday, January 20^th at 11:59 PM CST. If you do not, then you give them the right to report the match as a win for themselves due to a scheduling conflict.

Please report this week’s match results no later than Sunday, January 24th at 11 PM, CST.

As the week goes on please refer to the below chart for current standings (the chart will be updated periodically throughout the week).

Scheduling matches and what to do when you can't contact your opponent

I've gotten a lot of questions about trouble with people getting a hold of their opponents. I've updated and cleaned -up the FAQ/League Rules page in an effort to make things easier on you guys but here are the scheduling and reporting a match highlights in a nutshell:

Scheduling and Reporting Matches:

Scheduling a Match:
Pairings will be announced/posted on this website on Sunday nights/Monday mornings.
*Once announced it is the responsibility of each player to contact one another using the Private Messaging system at cardgamedb.com and schedule a time to play their game.
*Please contact your opponent no later than Wednesday evening, 11:59 PM CST. If you do not then you give them the right to report the match as a win for themselves due to a scheduling conflict.

Scheduling Conflicts:
While it is understandable that you may be unable to play your match on a given week because of scheduling conflicts please let the other player know. If your opponent is unable to play due to a scheduling conflict then please report a win condition of "Concession (game not played)" for yourself. If the game is not played because both parties equally share the burden of not being able to schedule a match then one of the players will need to report the match result as a tie to ensure that both players receive half a point (as opposed to zero points for not reporting at all).

Not Being Able to Contact Your Opponent:
If you do not hear back from the player you are paired up against and have made multiple efforts to contact them but received no response then you report the game as a win for yourself, under the win condition of "Concession (game not played)". In this situation please go to the Report Match Result link and enter your win. There is an option on the drop down menu to report this type of win condition. Below this is a second question asking if you were able to make contact with your opponent. Please answer this as it helps me determine who to drop, if needed. Remember that screenshots can be taken as proof that the other player is not responding to your PMs.

Reporting a Match Result:
*It will be the winner's responibility to report a match result. Please click on the "Report Match Result" link on the right hand side of this page to do so. If the game is not played because both parties equally share the burden of not being able to schedule a match then one of the players will need to report the match result as a tie to ensure that both players receive half a point (as opposed to zero points for not reporting at all).
