- Sandbagging rule exists when both of “Handicap” and “Sandbagging Threshold” are created and defined in the tournament/league/Round-robin.
Any player who distorts their ratings by improper recording of stats or intensionally throw low before the formal competion, he is cheating the games.
To avoid this, Sandbagging rule can be applied to the game if needed. - Sandbagging rule is designed for the handicapped mode of tournament, league and round-robin competition.
League
For tournament comeptition, if league is based on “set mode”, the Sandbagging will be calculated by “set”, not a single leg.
If league is based on “leg mode”, the Sandbagging will be calculated by “leg”.
Tournament
For tournament comeptition, the Sandbagging will be calculated by “match”, not a single leg.
Round-robin
For Round-robin competition, the Sandbagging will be calculated by “match” between 2 players. - While both of players have Sandbagging issues, the competition will keep the game results, nothing will be changed.
- When competiton is team vs team, the Sandbagging will be calculated by “team”.
- The Sandbagging threshold is defined by the organizer. Suppose that the threshold of Sandbagging is defined as 3.0, if the rating of player is 3.01 higher than the original rating, then he/she will have “sandbagging”.
