KLT: Just so you know, there is no such thing as a "modified loss." It's just a loss as far as tournament scoring goes.
It should be pointed out that Nick mentioned in another thread that awarding him the modified win, because KLT still had a chain attachment on his agenda despite having more power, was how they understood and reported the situation. FFG did not rule it a modified win for Nick; the players were unaware of the ruling and reported the match results (ultimately incorrectly).
So there is no contradictory ruling here. The Maester's Path works the way FFG has said it works for over a year - it does not count in determining the modified win at time limit.
A question about reporting wins and losses…
Do you also report the score? "Player A beat Player B 15 power to 12 power…" for example. If details with the results are normally reported, then you'd think they'd say enough to give away how it would be possible for someone with more power could lose to someone with less. My guess is that is not something that is required. :-)
