re: Auction

The auction has been scheduled for Sunday, January 5th at 1 PM GMT -5. Player signups and retentions will close 48 hours prior to the auction.

SPL XVI Week One will begin on January 13th.

 

[Dave]

I'm reopening signups from 7pm EST today until 9am EST tomorrow. This was unanimous among all participating managers.

In the future, please utilize the lengthy deadline to sign up or don't delete your sign up unless you're 100% certain.

So much for the clean game UT

re: NoName6293

NoName6293 was banned from Smogon for reasons unrelated to SPL XVI. Because this ban occurred after the auction but before the start of the regular season, Team Raiders gets 3k sellback credits and (6-3)/2=1.5k midseason credits. This means they may choose one player from the undrafted pool instead of deferring their pick to midseason, as well as receive 1.5k midseason credits.

Team Raiders has selected Yovan as their replacement player.

re: The Alt Rule

Prior to the start of SPL XVI, the alt rule was re-instated, requiring players to play official team tour games on either their voiced stours account or an account that obviously contains their complete forum name. However, this was not communicated clearly to all players.

This admin post will serve as the announcement that the alt rule will be enforced going forward and that violations will be infracted. Niko's alting infraction, since it occured before this announcement post, has been overturned.

If you have any questions about if the alt you wish to use meets the rules, please reach out to a tour host ahead of time to clear it.

re: Larry

Hey everyone the SPL media team is looking for feedback on everything we are doing - and will continue to do. Your opinions are extremely important to us and we'd like to know how we can continue to set the standard for this tournament and future tournaments.

GIVE US YOUR FEEDBACK!

re: Sergio Aguero vs elodin

After the game had started, Sergio Aguero disconnected and timed out. Tournament Directors determined a recreate was in order, however Sergio Aguero was unable to come back online right away and substitutions are not possible after a game has begun. elodin provided his last window of availability for the day, and Sergio Aguero was unable to make it.

elodin is granted the win.

re: Aliss

Aliss has been banned from Smogon for reasons unrelated to SPL. She will not be allowed to participate further in SPL XVI.

Team Raiders will be given 3k in sellback credits to use at the midseason auction.

 

[Larry]

re: Kaz vs spies

In Game 1 of their semifinals game, Kaz suggested a tie to spies, but they continued playing afterwards. After that, spies timed out. This is ruled as a regular timeout. Also, players can't simply agree to a tie unless the game is endless.

Kaz wins Game 1 via timeout.

re: mncmt

mncmt has been banned from Smogon for reasons unrelated to SPL. He will not be allowed to participate further in SPL XVI.

 

[UT]

re: Roaring Moon

Roaring Moon was banned from SV OU earlier this morning; since the ban occured after Finals went up, Roaring Moon will remain legal in SV OU for the entirety of Finals including in tiebreakers, if necessary.
