Played a game last night and after starting we had a storming first round, where one of our players killed all 4 of the enemy (1 had dropped part way through). It seemed like the perfect start, but immediately the admin paused the game. No request came from the opposition to restart the match, but after being paused for 3-4 mins, we then waited another 3 minutes for them to get their 5th back.
The match was then restarted and they won the important first round, 2nd round and then a few more....
I had read and understood the rules before this season so I knew this was a possibility.
c) Should a player drop from the server during the first three rounds of either half of a game, the admin may, at his discretion, allow the game to be restarted if one of the clans requests it. Restarts can not normally be granted after this point. Please note that restarts are only available subject to time-restrictions and that the admin is not required to allow one.
Now I could possibly understand this rule if the division was CO, but with MR12 then having the possibility of restarting after 3 rounds (1/4 of the half) is frankly taking the p**s.
A dodgy clan could take full advantage of this to enable a restart if they had got off to a bad start and wanted another go, as we could have last night after we lost 3 after the restart, but we are an honest clan.
What I would like to see is a 5 minute (max) pause only with no restart (MR12 divisions at least).
Please consider this, as internet connections aren't the best and one simple drop could ruin 3 rounds (1/4 of the half) of good work by one side.
