Title: 2014 bot screening
Post by 99of9 on Mar 11^th, 2014, 11:43pm

How are the two tournament servers quarantined this year? bot_sharp is currently playing two screening games as gold at the same time. I thought the servers were segregated either by bot or by colour?

I'm 99% sure Omar once explained the system prefers to put gold games on the gold server and silver games on the silver server, but if not possible it will switch to the other server. I don't remember this ever causing problems, it seems to work the same way this year.

What is a bit more worrying is the two timeouts that already happened (although one of them was a connection issue on the player's side if I understood correctly).
