PANDANET CUP - The 14th Internet World Amateur Go Tournament
[ Playing Rule ]
     Game interruption ( implemented on Jan 10th, 2006 )
  We understand there are times when your Internet connection is disconnected unintentionally. However, there had been some cases were some Pandanet users thought that disconnection was caused intentionally by the opponent to gain extra time. Therefore, Pandanet has decided to introduce a new rule.


     The Current rule
  When a player’s Internet connection is disconnected and the game is interrupted, the player who was disconnected must reconnect and restart the game within 5 minutes. Likewise, the opponent needs to wait for 5 minutes, for their opponent to return and restart the game. If the disconnected opponent does not reconnect and restart the game within 5 minutes, then the game is counted as a win for the other player, regardless of the game. If both players are disconnected, the game is stored for 15 days. The stored game will be a “No game” if it does not restart within 15 days.




     New rule added besides Current rule
  If you lose your connection during a game three times or more, you automatically lose.(*please don’t think that it is o.k. to disconnect twice intentionally.)

If a disconnection occurs while scoring a game, the player who was disconnected must restart the game within 1 minute. If the player does not restart the game within one minute, the game is counted as “loss by resigning”.
To make this rule work properly, we will also introduce a new points system called “Ending points”.
