Reliability Rating

We may ban any player who lacks common courtesy in game forum negotiations, disrespects an FICS rule laid out in "help abuse", or is in any way a disagreeable troublemaker. We can only monitor posts on our website, but we ask that you practise good sportsmanship in your FICS tells and whispers, too.

Reliability Rating

You join Snail Bucket with a reliability rating (RR) of 2. A forfeit loss means -1 RR. You can only join a tournament if your RR is 2. If your RR reaches 0, you will be suspended.

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.

Appeals

You may contact TD pchesso, if you feel a sanction is unjust.
