When a TO reports tournament results incorrectly.....

[Team Cook]

.... What happens???

My son was checking his stats on a newly reported tournament, and noticed that one win was reported as a loss. So, what happens now? What should we do about it? Can something be done?

Thanks so much!

We're working on a match appeals process for these types of matters, but for now, please email a detailed description of the issue to [email protected], and we will do everything we can to get it straightened out.

Thanks,
Prof. Dav

I don't know about others, but as a TO I myself would like for the person to also contact me to let me know if something was incorrectly posted. That way I can look at the tournament sheets and see if it was my mistake, or one of the judges.

I don't know if you're talking about the Plano GC or not, but the TO there reported the event as LIMITED.

I've sent an e-mail.

Something like that is an easy fix. You did the right thing, old man. It should now appear as Modified on the tournament listing.

I noticed that, too.... And I was wondering if there's a difference. Does it matter whether it's reported as limited or modified? Would it impact the ratings differently?

 

[old man]

Yes it would. Limited, Unlimites & Modified are 3 separate categorys each with your own rating.ranking.

Say if your 1650 in Limited & 1800 in Modified. Say again you played in a modified event and did terrible & only won 1 game. That would could change your rating around -60 points. Now if the event was reported as limited then your rating may only change -30 points. This is a very simplistic example. But it does matter.

Ah, I think I gotcha!

So, a small gain in rating due to a tournament reported as "Limited" would actually translate into a larger gain in rating when corrected to report as "Modified"?

Thanks old man. I've been really curious about all that.

 

[old man]

That would actually depend on each players current rating. Next time we're at the same tournament remind me & I'll show you how it works & how much a player can gain per match.

Haha, Old Man's example was flawless.

I went a 3-2 record, and dropped 40-something points >_>""
