Is it just a leaderboard, or is there a way to win it? Or does the scoreboard reset every so often? This may have been explained in the original post and I could've just missed it - I was a tad confused, sorry.
It continuously updates like a ladder. Points from wins decrease (slowly) over time.
you are replacing a good way of dealing with the fact that people have lives (vacations) with a terrible one (account-sharing).
I am aware and you are right. I never join tournaments without vacations allowed either by the way. However, the alternative is allowing a single person to stall a tournament for 70 days. I know that with vacations honoured, most tournaments would be stalled for quite a while and that goes completely against the concept. I also know that account sharing here could have potential consequences for CL, where I would very much like people to follow the rules, as I am in the audit panel myself.
This was not an easy choice at all, and the one I thought about the longest. It's not the best solution, it's the least bad.
With the new auto commit, I believe you can input your orders and when you would get booted due to being on vacation, they will just be implemented and not end your vacation. So not respecting vacations isn't a huge deal unless you literally don't have access to the internet (which of course does happen for people).
Has it been verified that it doesn't break vacation?
Would be cool with Single elimination tournament with qualifiers. -B has a CLOT :)
While I like seeding myself, it's probably best not to add it to not make things more complex than they need to be.
