Reliability Rating

This page explains what happens if you forfeit a game.

Reliability Rating

You join Snail Bucket with a reliability rating (RR) of 2. A forfeit loss means -1 RR regardless of excuses. You can only join a tournament if your RR is 2. If your RR reaches 0, you will be suspended. Two tournament suspensions will get you banned. We would like to stress that zeroing out on RR points does not mean you are a bad person; at the moment you simply have difficulty scheduling and/or showing up for games.

What happens if my RR goes 0?

  • Weekly Round Robin tournament: your games are set against you.
  • Monthly Swiss tournament: any pending game is forfeited; results of already played games will stand.

How can I regain RR points?
At the beginning of a new Snail Bucket tournament, you regain 1 RR point, unless you already have the maximum of 2 RR points.
