This ever happen to anyone else? opponent spends 20 minutes asking for a ruling in judges, time expires, we are given a 5 minute extension, and he stalls for the remainder of the time. He gets the win cause time expires. Just seems unfair to me. Mebe rulings should be set up like instant replays, you ask for a ruling, you get it wrong you take a game loss.

That would be pretty gay if you got a game loss cause you misinterpreted a card.

According to my logs the ruling took 10 minutes, not 20. Time extensions are given to compensate for lengthy rulings, and in this case 5 minutes is a good amount.

About getting game losses for incorrect ruling questions: this is very impractical. If a player doesn't know how a card works, he won't ask for a ruling because he's afraid of getting a game loss. This means that his opponent could cheat and get away with it.

Doesnt judging a mini involve, well judging? If a judge can't handle an 8-16 man tournament then he is a pretty lackluster judge.

First learn to spell the word "maybe". Second, judges host and judge on their own precious time. So please give them some slack, when you can't get a ruling. If you want to expediate the process for everyone in the league, you could always apply to become a judge to help others. Karma is a wonderful thing when you know to use it.

Pfft. The phonetical spelling is hip, Ancient, when used casually. Though I prefer "Mebbe".

Oh my god, Ancient's back! And if you do stall, I cannot stress enough that you need to go to #j4u and provide logs when the stalling occurs. DO NOT wait until the end of the round and then ask for a "few more minutes to beat your opponent," unless your opponent is playing on time (stalling until the timer goes to win by life).
