For the match 3rdFG vs 63e: The score will be changed from 6-4 to 5-5.
Reason: There were 2 rounds, which were really hard to count. In one round we got 10 disconnects and a missunderstanding about "live" or "not live". The other one was a round where a stranger joined in UK Team with a 3rdFG tag and started teamkilling. The rounds annul each other. We got some situations with shooting in charge. When 3rdFG shot in charge they won the round. In the round where 63e was shooting 3rdFG won aswell, so we decide to remove one round and make it a 5-5.
Alright fair enough. All three of the disrupted rounds should not count, fairly logical.
The problem is your treatment of the shooting on the charge incident. You treat several rule infractions as less important than one infraction on the basis that one side was more competent/lucky when it came to getting results from their infraction. Rather than the actual frequency of infractions. Attempted murder still is a crime you know.
Okay, so it's not as easy as to award the rounds to the 3rdFG, but you need to keep it in the balance when looking at the infraction where 3rdFG actually won, as well as the overall implications of the call (seeing that you are making calls post facto, which is the major drawback of the system). The distilled question to answer under these circumstances is:
Did the 3rdFG break the rules so much more than the 63e as to warrant changing the match from a win to a draw for them? This is the only question you need to ask yourself. You would have to be in a coma or the village idiot to think that the answer to that question is yes. (Both sides broke the rules about as much, and even then they did gain a one man up on the 63e in a situation with 20ish people involved not an auto-win).
This is the problem with dealing with things post-facto. You can't really weed out the small sneaky cheating (accidental or not) that does take place, because people either win against it, or it's not severe enough to warrant action. And this is why we need referees, in addition to of course avoid hugely flawed calls like this.
You have you understand that you are currently doing your best to kill the league. All competitively minded leaders I have spoken to have had serious issues with the way you have dealt with this. A fair amount of them have expressed doubts about staying in the league. And these are the people that really make your league the premiere and only league in NW at the moment. Trust me on this, the only reason you have not got any competition when it comes to NW leagues is because you have collected everyone here, and up until this point have done a somewhat tolerable job of running the league. 3rdFG leaving, with reason, puts this fact largely into question.
I mean, the jojo nature of this call, just illustrates how sadly the business has been handled. Couldn't you simply have consulted Hancock, or someone who has at least taken a course or two of law, with the call, and put together a credible argument from the start?
Also there will be a new system for the mappicking in the next season. You'll play one map with swapping spawns after 5 rounds. Both teams/leaders have to agree on the map before you play. We will also seriously think about involving referees in the running or upcoming season.

your NWL staff
Some progress at last, shame that it's overshadowed by a huge step backwards, which really questions the validity and raison d'etre of the league.
Malakith is right. Have some unbiased evidence to back up or don't bother raising the issue as you might as well convince some people the earth is flat.
A post extraordinarily lacking in insight. There is video-evidence of the whole shebang, that can easily be reviewed. Not to mention server records that I am sure the organisers could have summoned to see the inter-admin communications.
Interesting that you cannot quote LameHorse saying that league 1 will be bloody interesting, because he is banned "for a reason"...
