Having beta-tested the 'unlimited' timeline for spars, the admin have made a final judgement regarding how timelines will run for spars! You can select one of the two options below when starting a spar:
1. Standard timeline- Up to 3 weeks allowed between posts. No extensions for absences or otherwise.
2. Extended timeline- Up to 2 months allowed between posts. No extensions for absences or otherwise.
This does not affected challenges, which will remain the same and will still be allowed to be extended if there is an absence.
The reason we are removing the option to extend for absences is that it places a very large amount of work on the admin team and even for all that work, it is generally unenforceable. Please note that this means, for spars, we will be closing them at the allotted timeline and not reopening them to continue. You may still request partial judging in the case that your opponent defaults and you both have at least two posts.
