Game fixing - the simple solution...

[goose]

After reading the threads in regards to the Enemy game and all the proposed ways to handle game fixing - some very creative - I just wonder why no one has brought up the 2 obvious & simple solutions.

1) If 2 related teams are slated to play each other - then they do so first - the hell with whether or not they are "supposed to" according to the way the MS does it's draws.

and

2) Get rid of the points for a grab if you don't win the game. By this I mean, the team that gets the grab points is either the 1st team to grab the flag (if the time runs out and both teams have players alive) or the team that actually hangs the flag & wins the game.

Simple - to the point and not a whole bunch of new rules needed.

Nice and simple and sooooo obvious, one might wonder why the board hadn't already adpoted such measures.
Nice one Goose !

In Germany I believe the ton-ton teams played first, (inspite of the schedule) for this reason.

As for the flag grab points, maybe the board will change them. This was just never a problem before, it's only when an issue arrives that it can be dealt with.

No they didnt, they played in the prelims at exactly the same time as the enemy teams played. Acyd won the game, and the crowd were unbelievably suspicious, to me it waqw an obvious fix, but not to the powers that be. In the semis they played first, holding up all the other games as nobody was allowed to start till they had finished. thats why our first game vs C power was delayed with us waitin on the field for 35 minutes
