The problem with ignoring "unintentional" laggers.

In all seriousness, though, it's perfectly reasonable to bar laggers from playing events and the like, we do it on N-Pulse. However, we do it more or less at the ETs discretion, which is the way it should be done.

But they should be allowed to spar just fine. If someone has a problem with it, just don't spar them.

An ET's discretion usually means one of two things:

1. Eh, he's my friend so I'll let it slide.
2. I hate this lagger ***** (kicks cbk1994)

Not the way it should be done.

That's why you hire good ETs. Not that UN would know anything about hiring good staff that don't abuse their power.

No? The laggy players in question in this thread alone are all from the US anyway.

It seems everyone is raging all over the topic of lag and not getting the point of the OP. We dont need ridiculously laggy players running around in spar and event tournies. Some are legit, some are faked, either way these select few need to either fix their connection issues or be forced to sit out on these tournies.

How these players will be left out is a different story.

Serverside HD inherently favors those closest to it's location. Clientside, on the other hand, doesn't. It's even.

As I said before...

If there's a player skipping around an entire spar ring and becomming very difficult to hit, it's not fair for the other players to have to put up with this. Simply put, it's the problem of the laggy user.
