The way to handle the situation aLe is in, is that he says “You can’t make it into top 16, even if you win. Will you concede to me?”

A smart player will realize that you might compensate them if they concede, but there can be NO discussion about it. Even a “Hey, I’m a really nice guy!” *wink, nudge* could be enough to earn the DQ.

Remember, don’t muck about, call a judge. If you are really worried about it, discuss what you can and can’t do with the judge away from the table. Even asking the judge if you are allowed to offer your opponent something could be construed as a veiled offer.

I’ve a question: you said that splits are allowed only in the finals…with finals you mean only the final match of a top8, or it’s even legal to split in the final match of a swiss?

Real thing happened to me:

Italian nationals. I’m 9-4 and i’ve to play the final match of the swiss. I can’t make top8, but the top16 gets a pro point and a box, so it’s worth a little. I’ve the worst rating ever, so i was paired down with a guy with 25 points (against my 27). He can’t make top16 even if he win, but i was too scared to say something about a split ’cause it was the first time i found myself in a situation like this, it was my first nationals and i don’t want to ruin everything. Of course, we played and he won XD. I closed 30th and he closed 18th.

The question now is: If i would said something like “hey, you’ve 25 points, you can’t make top16. would you concede me the game and then, of course, we’ll split the box 50/50?” , it would be correct? what’s the correct procedure to follow in this case?

I hope you tell all your friends about this piece and learn what it has to offer.

@Anon: You are likely best off creating 2 equal-valued piles and then just saying ‘k i’ll take this one’ and have the other take the win. the moment you say ‘at least give me that last pack if i’m giving you the win’ is BAD NEWS. if you can both agree on equal piles, then it’s not hard to go from there.

example: winner of sealed event gets 36 packs and an invite to another event. 2nd place gets 18packs and a playmat. you and your friend in the finals might say “hmmm, i think…” and come up with piles like this:
Pile A – Invite to event, 15 packs
Pile B- Playmat, 39 packs.
Once you decide it’s equal… one of you will decide that 8 bonus draft sets is better than an invite to the level 2 event.

hope that’s clear.

PS: If you’re in the finals of a PTQ and both of you want the trip you should probably just play for it. 2nd place doesn’t get nearly enough to comp a plane ticket! Offering anything outside of the prizes already at stake will get you DQ’d stat.
