How should intentional draws be reported in terms of number of games (0-0-1, 0-0-2, or 0-0-3), and does this affect tiebreakers like game win percentage?

Ruling: Players can report intentional draws with any valid game count (0-0-1, 0-0-2, or 0-0-3), and the choice significantly affects game win percentage tiebreakers. Reporting 1-1-0 (two games played, one win each) is most favorable for tiebreakers, while 0-0-3 is worst.

Sequence:

• Players may agree to an intentional draw at any point during a match (after any game)
• Players can choose to report the draw as 0-0-1, 0-0-2, 0-0-3, or even 1-1-0 (if they played games first)
• The reporting choice directly impacts game win percentage calculations

Nuances:

• Carde.io defaults to 0-0-3 for intentional draws from the TO side, but players can manually report different game counts
• At Houston Regional, most round 8 intentional draws were reported as 1-1-0, which is optimal for tiebreakers
• There is currently no official standardized guideline for how intentional draws should be reported
• Players cannot agree to concede individual games in exchange for their opponent conceding other games, as this would constitute bribery (out-of-game consideration)
• Games can legitimately end in draws through unmaintained loops or potentially future card effects
