    Top 2 split prizes how do you report this in mantis?

    I was wondering something, if top 2 spilt prizes and dont play how do you record in mantis that this happend? I know there isnt a draw button but would be give out a double loss or what? Or do you have to have a winner for that match regardless of if they split or not?

    It is something i been wondering for awhile but just hit me to post thanks in advance :)

    You make them play it out. They just agreed to split the prizes between them and you confirmed their intentions. I hope this helps.

    Happy New Year :)

    Report both their semi-finals wins as win and drop.

    29. Prize Splits Players in the finals of a single-elimination tournament may agree to split prizes that would normally be awarded to the first and second place finisher in any way, provided that the negotiation of a prize split is done in a presence of a the Head Judge. Players may not offer additional product, cash, or other incentives that are not officially part of the first and second place prize pool during a prize split. Players may not concede in exchange for prizes. Players have the option to drop before the finals of a single-elimination tournament, after prize negotiations, in order to preserve their rating.

     

    This is in the offical tournament policy. So I was incorrect as well. I put the words in bold different color so you could see.

    I hope this helps and sorry for the incorrect info. Decided to read up on policy before regionals this month in Montreal.

    This is often something that can be used as part of the prize negotiation.

    I.E. "you can have the win if you give me x" (Of course x must be part of the prize pool, typically a win in exchange for a larger share of the prize)

    There are a few important notes when dealing with prize splits (most you may already know but adding for those that might not).

    1. A Judge must be present during all discussion of prize splits.
    2. Prize splits must not include anything outside the prize pool. One player can not offer money in exchange for packs or part of the prize unless that money is part of the original prize pool
    3. The win can NOT be determined by coin flip, die roll or other random method. (It is important to make clear to the person not taking the win, that they will be dropped and their rating will not be hurt.)
