match.

Timekeeping
· Every player has to be at the tournament area at least 15 minutes before the scheduled start of the warm up period.

· Should a player be late (less than 10 minutes) for the start of a tournament match, the
player will forfeit the first game of the match.
· Should the player be more than 10 minutes late for the start of a tournament match,
the player will forfeit the match.
· The players are allowed a 5 minute break between the games in a tournament match.
· Administrators reserve the right to change these timings if circumstances require it.

Disconnects and computer failure
· If a game is interrupted by a computer failure and the game is heavily favoured to the
extent that the game would definitely have been won by one player an administrator
may rule the game in favour of said player. Should the game be too close to call, it will
be replayed.
· If a game disconnects for another reason and the game is heavily favoured to the extent
that the game would definitely have been won by one player an administrator may rule
the game in favour of said player. Should the game be too close to call, it will be
replayed.

Complaints
· If a player wants to make a complaint about a game result, the player has to tell the
administrator assigned to the match, before the next match starts.
· If a player wants to object a game result ruled by an administrator, this has to take place
before the next game.

Replays
· After every game, both players must save the replay of the game.

and when a player surrenders the game.
· No chat is ever permitted from a player to an outside party during a tournament match,
or from an outside party to the player, unless the outside party is an administrator.

match.

Pausing
· If a player must pause the game due to technical difficulties the player must if possible
tell the opponent about this before pausing. After pausing the player must let an
administrator know.
· If a game is paused without a reasonable explanation such as a technical difficulty the
game might result in a forfeit.

Racepicking
· Each player signs up to the tournament with one set race. If a player wants to change
the race before a match, an administrator must be notified, and the new race must be
played throughout the whole match. The administrator must be told at least 30 minutes
before scheduled match start, or as soon as the previous match ends.
· The administrator will then tell the opponent.

outcome of the game.

Umm what's with the map pool? Scrap station and delta quadrant are both terrible maps, and you don't have taldarim altar. Also I hope you're using tournament versions rather than ladder versions. (ie no close spawns)

Guys are coming from Canberra, Brisbane and Melbourne for this! yeah these LANs are more about meeting the community than winning (unless your GM lol) thats why we made sure everyone got a prize (the 4G usb) so yeah I encourage everyone to sign up remember the more successful these events are the easier it is to justify running another one!

Oh of course.
I'd totally come out if I lived in Sydney but don't really have the money to go to Sydney for a whole week at the moment. Second Semester starts for me in the middle of that week as well.
I'd feel silly going for the quals and not watching the finals played out.

Hmm, I can walk to the Burwood one...I've never done a SC2 tournament before, but I'm tempted to at least give it a go if it's walking distance =P

I'm only a Gold Random player though, I have no illusions of making the finals =P

If I'm registering online for myself and a friend, instead of buying 4X$5 tickets is it ok to buy a $20 ticket and split it into 2x$10?

I have a query:

If a player deliberately plays for a stalemate, administrators hold the right to decide the
outcome of the game.

How does a player deliberately play for a stalemate? If a Terran lifts up a building and the opponent is unable to kill it, does that constitute a deliberate attempt?

Too bad I'm in Perth or I'll definitely come! Gl for the tournament!
