Maroon Starleague Open Season 2

Background
-To try and accommodate some of the blue B-rankers and to try and raise activity, I'll be starting a new league welcoming all iCCup ranks up to B+.

Format
-Depending on the number of players, we'll be having an ODT-style group stage, into a single-elimination tournament bracket.

The tournament will ideally have 32 players, but if for whatever reason, 64 players sign-up, then the tournament will start off with a Round-of-64 tournament bracket.

Dates

Saturday, Jun 07 6:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00): Round-of-32 Group stage

Saturday, Jun 14 6:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00): Round-of-16

Saturday, Jun 21 6:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00): Round-of-8

Saturday, Jun 28 6:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00): Round-of-4

Saturday, Jul 05 6:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00): Finals

Sign-up
-To sign up, before sure to post your following info of your known username, iCCup ID, your max iCCup rank ever achieved, and race.

Example:


Maps
-I have chosen the following maps and map rotation. Don't worry, I didn't choose any funky maps because I know the backlash among the A/B-ranked players will be more intense than the lower ranked players.

Rules

• All the games must take place on iCCup (TheAbyss) or Fish. Anti-hack and LAN-latency MUST be on.
  
• Adhere to all iCCup server rules.
  
• Account sharing is prohibited, and if caught, there will be consequences.
  
• Any form of match fixing, cheating, hacking, etc. is prohibited.
  
• Players that have achieved A- will NOT be allowed to play this season, regardless of wanting to play with off-race.
  
• Race-picking is not allowed, meaning a player must play just one race throughout the entire duration of the tournament.
  
• If a player disconnects within 2 minutes of the start of a game, then the game must be replayed. If a player disconnects past the 2 minute mark, please contact me and show me the replay. I will make the decision regarding a regame, or whether a verdict will be made.
  
• If players do not make contact with their opponents, PM me and I will make the decision regarding walkovers or rescheduling.
  
• In the case of a player no showing for a match their opponent will receive 1 set walkover if their opponent is 15-29 minutes late and a full match walkover if their opponent is still absent 30 minutes after the scheduled time. Any player wishing to take a walkover win in this manner must take screenshot in channel "OP Crimson" with server time stamp (I know iccup server time is not accurate, I will adjust) and PM or email it to me. Screenshot is only needed if I am not present to approve the walkover at the time.
  
• Players are allowed to choose Random as a race. However, the player MUST select Random every game, and announce their matchup at the start of every game. Failure to do so will result in disqualification.
  
• Replays must be submitted either via PM to fearthequeen or via e-mail to maroonstarleague@outlook.com Replay deadline is 11 hours after each respective scheduled game time. Ro16 replay deadline: Sunday, Jun 15 5:00am GMT (GMT+00:00)
