Rules
(Updated as of 5/12/2013)
+ Show Spoiler +
Players may change race between matches (weekly), but not between sets (individual games).
After the first set, the losing team’s next player will pick the next map to play on. He or she cannot select a map that has already been played on.
All observers must be spectators except for HSL Referees and casters.
Spectators are allowed only if both coordinators from both teams agree.
HSL Referees or casters however are always allowed to join.
If any latency issues or stuttering occurs, the problematic spectator must leave immediately. If it is a player who is experiencing these issues, he or she is required to type “pp,” pause the game, and resolve the issue as soon as possible. If the problem cannot be resolved within 5 minutes, a rematch can be requested.
If a player disconnects before 2 minutes, it is a rematch unless in the rare case either player received a significant advantage through scouting (ex: cheese).
Disconnects past 2 minutes will be resumed with the Recover Game feature.
IMPORTANT: In case of a disconnected game, if there is no HSL Referee watching the game, contact staff IMMEDIATELY. Do NOT watch ANY replay, so we can be sure no one cheats by looking at the replay before the game is resumed. In case no staff member is available, or you see someone reviewing the replay, take a screenshot of them in your friend list showing “Watching Replay”. In case a player experiences software or hardware failure or remains in the game despite lacking control over his units, a game will be resumed at the point before a critical problem begins to occur. In case of dispute, a staff member will review the replay and decide what time is suitable to use Recover Game.
.
Save all replays for disputes and have one or both teams email us, with a brief analysis included arguing your stance
In case of match dispute, contact any HSL Staff. If you have a score dispute, please provide a replay. If you do not have a replay saved to defend yourself, we cannot give you the benefit of the doubt.
If any cheating is suspected, please e-mail the HSL a well written report detailing who, where, when, why, how, what cheating was used, along with the replay(s) attached.
HSL may change, interpret, or update the rules at any time.
