I don't even know if this is where im suppose to put it, But ive noticed that you guys have this thing in the tourney rooms where if you ping you can renter the tournament, i feel as though this should be removed because, people are just turning off their internet when about to lose then just come back and reenter... it sucks if someone does ping, but i guess they need to try Burger Kings internet instead of mcdonalds
Thanks

During a lockdown you can't just enter a server, you must be force entered by the server operator present. In official tournaments players will not (or should not) be re-entered if they ping whilst playing, but they can be re-entered if they ping before/after their match. In non-official tourneys (hosted by anybody and everybody who isn't a GM or representative of another event-driven organisation) the tourney rules are essentially up to them, as it's their money they're spending to fund the tournament and it's their server. It is up to them to have a little dignity and host properly.
IF a player was in a tourney and they pinged, They can renter that tourney. Some players would disconnect there connection so they would ping. Even if its lockdown it gives the player the ability to renter the tourney.
In some tournament servers, where there is lockdown enabled, if a player pings in the queue they can get back into the queue upon entering the server (but at the bottom of the queue). If they were in a match, as far as I know they cannot re-enter. Of course the other operator rules apply, but this has happened to me on occasion.
Do you understand what you're talking about or what I said? I may not have been clear enough so I'll reiterate.
You can't enter the queue if you join a server whilst it is in lockdown. You are forced to stay as a spectator until you are force entered by the operator. Pinging in your own game defaults you to a loss and you shouldn't be force entered back into the queue, whereas those who ping whilst waiting for a game are allowed to re-enter.
I know this is the case with all of the public tourneys. I haven't experienced this when in a user-made room turned tourney, but I imagine it is the same.
