Default wins

I was looking on action nation and i noticed that a team that got beat are getting there loss turned into a default win as the clan left or folded. i dont think this should happen as the game has been played. i know that once they are gone the rest of the clans are getting a default win but i think if the match took place i think it shud stand.

That would be a little unfair though. The clan who left could have been awesome and potentially beat every other clan in the league. To force the 1st clan they played to have a loss while all the other clans in the division got dw would be well out of order.

If a clan leaves the only fair option is to give everyone defaults against it whether they played them or not. Otherwise all the other clans are getting free wins.

what if the clan wasnt a strong one and they manage 2 beat one of the leaders, and later fold as is the case in div 3b with 1847 this changes the situation at the top of our division. if a team gets beat fairly i think it shud stand.

I understand the concern that this issue has generated and it is something I have given some thought to. However, on reflection, it seems that the decision to ammend *all* of a withdrawn clan's results to default losses is inevitable. In particular, I note that Pro in division 2b would be put at a horrible disadvantage by their loss to Cold Fusion, an extremely strong clan who withdrew after week 1. I know that the situation with 1847 is slightly different, since their win came as a total shock, but it wouldn't be right to have one rule for certain divisions and one rule for others on this matter.

This is a less than perfect solution (and I don't think any perfect solution is possible) and therefore this is a good time for me to point out one thing. Clans withdrawing mid-season *does* damage the league. I understand that this season was particularly badly hurt by starting so soon after CS1.4's release, since many clans folded over their dislike of the update, but this is a statement that is true for any season. One-off defaulted games damage divisions badly enough, but when a clan withdraws, the effect on their division can be really quite bad. So please, people, if you sign up for BWCSL, try to survive an entire season :)
