Ping problems aren't a reason to complain about. If you are from UK and you have to play on an Italian Server you WILL have a ping that's not as good as the one from the Italian team. BUT keep in mind that the Italians also have to play on YOUR server and you'll have better pings then theirs then. Thats the Advantage of playing each other twice.
Change this rule or cY will create a listenserver for all further dbl matches. Just simple as that.
why ??
because of that :
[23:11:12] <RaGe^M00> omfg
[23:11:14] <RaGe^M00> so what!
[23:11:16] <RaGe^M00> 500 ping for cy
->?
[23:14:03] <Om3Ga`> only one of them had 500 ping
too easy to shaft the other team with a shit server
(davidm responce, "shit happens")
too easy to claim a def win if the other team cant get together for some reason cos the games are pre dated and u cant change it a whole 2 days before the game.
all this just leads to hate between each team and each team prefering to fuck the other one over instead of having a good fair game.
good rules idd DBL....
(answer, default wins shouldnt be so easy to claim. more effort needs to go into arranging a new date for the match.
and make some rules about what constitues shit ping, and what level of worse ping a home team should have to put up with on a neutral server compared to their own server is acceptable)

for what its worth, with an IP range, i can ignore ping requests with specific softwear.
step 1: Go to IRC, get opponents IP range... maybe just 1-2 players.
step 2: disable direct ping from clients
step 3: watch them log into the server with 400+ pings because they get re-routed to a proxy host.
--> normal 50
