JudgeCast #378 – Unsporting Conduct …and the rest

Just sit right back, and you’ll hear a tale, a tale of a fateful…uh…section of the IPG. Join Bryan, Charles, Marcos, the Professor and Mary Ann as we tackle the parts of Unsporting Conduct not covered in the previous episode. Improperly Determining a Winner, Bribery and Wagering, Stalling, and Cheating are all serious infractions that often get exaggerated and confounded in online discourse around the penalties. In this episode we talk about what each penalty is, what it is not, and how to recognize it. You might be surprised at some of the tests judges have to use to determine if something is or is not a more serious infraction.

JudgeCast #317 A Bribe Called Quest

“Hey Judge, Can I offer my opponent any extra cash for the RC invite?
In this episode, Bryan, Charles, and Marcos discuss the rules around bribery; what it is, isn’t, what’s legal, what isn’t, and how to handle some common questions that you might run into at your RCQ. If you are a player, this episode will help you stay out of trouble, but it won’t teach you the most common question of: “Ok, so I understand I can’t bribe my opponent, but how can I offer them something for the win.” That’s kinda the same thing.
