MKCentral Universal Ruleset Suggestion Thread

[Nato]

Is there anything you think should be changed, added, or removed from the current ruleset?

This is where you will do so.

Please keep all posts on this thread directly related to suggestions only, all other responses will be deleted.

Rule Suggestions:

- The current set of rules does not penalize a team for using another teams tag. I believe this should be included, because it can cause confusion within the war and is an unreasonable decision on the opponents part.
- For rare instances where the rules don't specify what procedures must be followed, a probable cause addition should be included in the case the hosting team is affected by the incident. (In example, the host considers 3 people to of disconnected, but the opponent believes otherwise. Without sufficient evidence, the hosting team is liable to give spots 2-6/7 to the opponent for 30 seconds because they didn't receive consent.)

Hello Yellowfish,
Thank you for submitting suggestions, and here's our review:

- We planned to add clarifications in ruleset concerning the first point you brought.
- We weren't sure to fully understand what you meant in your second point. Could you precise more? In all cases, teams are required to honor ruleset. For example, if there are 3 disconnections, and at least one from each team, then there's no need to give 30 seconds to opponents once room is opened back. If teams are disagreeing on if they must give spots or not, then sufficient videos/materials can be brought (and analyzed by staff) after a match.

"Probable cause" in this manner defines the hosts right to make the decision based off what they feel is the right decision for the fairest result. This clause would dictate that the decision the host makes must be considered absolute during the war, and can only be appealed afterwards with sufficient evidence presented to the staff to show any bias in the wars result.

I'm wanting this clause to be included, because the host has a large responsibility in ensuring the war is played in a proper and efficient manner. There is currently nothing that really dictates who has the final say in judgement calls, which needs to be addressed where doubt and uncertainty arises.

 

[Félix]

I would not say hosting's ''decision'' is considered as absolute.
If room breaks for some reason, or if room needs to be broke, both teams are free to let (or not) 30 seconds to let the opponents enter. Of course, communication between teams is the best if it's unclear (about letting 30secs or not) but usually it should be easy enough to figure out if you need to let 30 seconds or not.
So, both teams are free to take decisions based on what they think (and not only the hosting team), and evidences can be brought after the match, as usual. They can't be any ''final calls'' during the match since there are no ''referees'', as you would like, but you are still guaranteed to get the wanting penalty.

In a situation where there is (for example) 3+ disconnections (and at least one from each team), it would lead to the race not counting. But if one team thinks race counts, and the other thinks otherwise, ruleset states it is mandated to play a 13th race, and it will be checked afterwards which race will count.

I think it should be required to post the picture with a table since we look at the Mii names now. I know most wars have a vid somewhere but I feel like people could cheese their tables and just put the registered name. Can argue it would be the other teams fault too.

Maybe I just want pictures low-key.

 

[Jazzy]

I agree with @Teeples here. Don't really have anything to add cause his point is good.

 

[Mattex125]

Cuold be a stupid think but I would like to see do something like only 1-3divs and divs with more than 10 teams (like a football league) (just for try)

Hello MKU, I have a little suggestion for the page MKC. I`d like to see the number of Division of each team in the general list of teams.

Thanks

This probably won't happen in exactly the way you specify because the registry is not just for MKU but also for Amplify, LF, SNL, etc. But we have other plans for the future to improve the MKC registry.

I do have a suggestion, but it might cause a lot of controversy, (but I'm gonna share it to you guys anyways).

My main suggestion is to change the day of the matches. Since a predicted date to begin S6 was January the 20th (yes, staff did say this as their [predicted/wanted] starting date). Unlike previous MKU matches that were held on a Sunday, push them back one day; simply, make MKU matches Saturday. (Note, it can still be the same time (14:00 CET, (or whichever time it was for previous MKU matches) but make it one day earlier for every match.

Regarding the "predicted date", (which to point out, will probably not be the definite date), this does overlap with 200 League. If players want to play in both 200 League and Mario Kart Universal on the exact same day, this might be difficult; this is also a reason as to why I think MKU should be put back a day (on Saturday (Western)).

I do understand some people might not like this change, but if you guys do like the change, then by all means do so.

Thanks!

(Also note, it did allow us to allow us to write what we think should be changed (and also added and/or removed from the ruleset, so I am technically not doing anything wrong here. Again, thanks).

You're fine to post this, I don't think we'll honestly ever be changing our day from Sunday -> Saturday, it's always been the official day for matches for as long as i've known (Honestly close to 10 years at this point its been Sunday), and Saturdays have always been our FFA / Tournament type day. The problem with running a ffa on a sunday (If we move league matches to Saturday like you suggest) is that ffas will start to run late for europeans, as most people have school or work monday morning. Allowing us to run FFAs on saturday gives us an open window on Sunday that will be more beneficial to the majority than if we ran an FFA on a Sunday night

Actually, that's understandable. Thank you for reading this though.

@JupiterAUS The good news is that with the move to MKCentral we're scheduling more Saturday events than before. So we hope you're happy with that

additionally, last season 200L and MKU overlapped, and there were no issues at all, so it's unlikely that there will be issues again this season.

Great to hear; thank you. I do understand that some events should be kept on Sunday, and that won't bother me too much. Again, I knew people might not have liked or agreed with it so I warned people of said suggestion.

This might be a big change, but I think it might be worth for the staff to at least consider it since we are moving onto a new format next season:

I think we should straight up remove the midseason transfer window. I think we should do it because it seems that every season clans end up losing players in the window. I understand people want to leave teams and this helps some teams find players to continue on with the season if they struggle to pull 6, but it drags players away from other clans which consequently hurts other clans from pulling 6 and causes drop outs.

Obviously dropouts hurt the league but with this new format it seems like it would hurt more since the direct placement of every team in the conference/division matters because every match near the end will matter more, also when teams drop out it can mess with the end of season power rankings as well. There will be obvious dropouts every season but I think removing the midseason transfer window will lower the dropout rate.

I also think that since players that transfer will only be able to start playing the second match on week 6 out of 8 in the regular season, people can just wait the extra 2-4 weeks to move onto their next stop since staying in a team for 8-10 weeks (depending if the team makes playoffs or not) shouldnt be very hard for most players.

I also heard WL has removed the mid season transfer window already and was told that was helping WL so I think it could help MKU too, maybe trying it for next season is at least worth a chance.

Strongly agree with this, it caused some teams to even forfeit.

I'm actually hard, on a personal level.
