He went on to score 700 and shielded. I see him in my node with score at 500 and retal when his score is at 700 (top of bracket). When calculating score gains, does the game take 500 or 700 as reference? 3) PVP: Similarly, if I hit GuyA when my score is at 500, and I got hit mid-game by GuyB for 25pts (i.e. now i'm at 475). When calculating score gains at end of my match, does the game take 500 or 475 as reference? 4) PVP: The defensive team when I break shield is (a)the team I break shield with, OR (b)the last winning team when I first shield? 5) PVP/PVE: Does my score count if I start a match but finish after the end of the event? 6) PVP/PVE: If I get hit while shielded, does it affect my MMR? GuyA and GuyB is not real. Any resemblance to persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental. Thanks in advance for any help rendered!

I'm sure that for PVE they don't count but for pvp they do for ranking purposes - that's why there is a delay in the award of ranking prizes (The other thing I'm sure of is that you don't get progression prizes for pvp if you finish after the time limit.)

I second this since my first Top 1 in PvP was brought by playing at the last minute and winning 13-ish points afterwards. The first placer was at 941 while I was at 930+ a minute before the event ended, played a hail mary and when the rewards were given, I got X-Force.

The delay in the award of ranking prizes should be due to when your bracket was started, rather than in order to reallocate prizes. It just wouldn't make sense for the game to wait say... 12 hours if I entered a battle at the last minute and forgot about it before they award the prizes to everybody isn't it.

The idea comes from the fact that, to catch it, the players have to look up into the sky at an angle more similar to looking at the sun than usual. The sun surrounds the ball much like the pictures of the virgin Mary. On top of that, its a bad play for the most part that is used as a last ditch effort and usually occurs only at the end of games where outcomes are all but decided. Combined you get the name hail Mary (the prayer selection due to the first part, the hail Mary being a prayer as you better say a prayer if you want such a low chance play to work). His use of hail Mary isn't grammatically sound really, but he basically means that he played a match as a last second "I hope this works." The fact it worked has no relation to whether its called a hail mary or not.... afterall, prayers aren't always answered now are they lol. Also, unless the other guy was shielded, that example proves nothing. Like I said (and was clearly ignored) though....there is a small leeway as Ice mentioned months ago. That time is very short though and not something ppl should be aiming for.
