A promotion series keeps going after it is already won or lost

Some team games make a player win several matches out of a few to move up a rank. Players hate being forced to play matches that no longer matter, hate that leaving counts for nothing, and hate coming back after a week to a half-finished series. Here is how the series decides itself.

Why this works

Once an outcome can no longer change, going on is just wasted time. Stopping at the moment the result is certain respects everyone's evening, and counting leaving as losing keeps quitting from becoming the cheaper way out.

When not to use it

Skip it when a promotion should come from steady results over a long stretch, or when every game is precious practice. A short series can be decided by luck, so use a rating that rises and falls over many games instead.
