in the long term they will fall back to their normal raiting if they get overrated by abusing the system anyways

Such abuse I reserve only for the most un-gentlemanly of disconnects or quits. Some players disconnect if they stuff up their BO, their team-mate "has to go", or they loose to an early rush. If they are going to waste my time like that, then they deserve to loose points.

I put people on the list if they stay on past the 3 min deadline so they can get some easy points - I don't want to play with cheaters/chancers. It happens very rarely though.

Seriously though, the actual cut-off time is 3 mins, regardless of what's output in chat. I got stung with that before .....

It's only meant to be way to rehost easily when all players are gentleman. Can't do anything if some players want to be dicks.

In addition, the time is based on server clock time, not game time. The clock only stops when the LAST player reports their results to the server.

I've actually had teams quit out of games before (usually because someone on their team drops out). Everyone leaves. Victory. So I sit there, go make a cup of coffee, come back, then hit the button. Yep, the server registers it as a win.

If you don't want to loose, don't quit games.

I've found that it's a 3 min cutoff even in 4 v 4. Just my observation.

60 seconds / player.

Don't know why you are posting this by the way. I never had corrected any game report by hand and will never do that.
- Don't have time.
- It's nearly impossible to alter the history of games.

I thought the cutoff time was 2 or 3 minutes?

In a 3v3 that happened, we all decieded t leave before the 480 sec limit, yet teh game still counted as ranked and stole rating from my team.
