[AUS] SoO Results

TEAMS
A-Teams consist of SIX (6) players, including a captain and possibly a co-captain or vice captain.

LINEUP

• A-Teams consist of SIX (6) players. A captain and Co-Captain may be promoted.
  
• Team lineups must be submitted by the Wednesday prior to that competition round.
  
• A Team Lineup consists of an ordered list of THREE (3) players co-inciding with the ordered list submitted by your opponent to determine the match-ups. The intended 2v2 partnership must also be disclosed at this time.
  
• The 2v2 team can use replacements only of the same initial race, but both the initial team and replacements can be chosen from players who have already played in a 1v1 game.
  
• A backup player from the A-Team must be assigned for each game, and a second backup player that may be from the B-Team. These players will fill in for players in case of absent players and cannot already be included in the A-Team lineup for that round.
  
  
  
• Team lineups will be submitted confidentially via email to myself and/or PureKnight_au (see contact details below).

Below is an example lineup:



GAMES

• Each match will consist of 5 games
  
• It is expected that three 1v1 games will be played [simultaneously] and then a 2v2 game will be played. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE 2v2 GAMES SHOULD BE PLAYED EVEN IF A TEAM WINS ALL THREE 1v1 GAMES. It is for your benefit that this happens as points differential may determine whether you make the finals or not.
  
• If there is still no winner after the four games, an ‘ACE’ match will be played on the designated map for that round.
  
• The first three solo games will be a Best-Of-Three format, as will the 2v2. The ACE match will be a Best-Of-One. The ACE player will be chosen like in ProLeague, announced just before the game and without pre-planning required.
  
• Games will be played on the iCCup server, Battle.net with ChaosLauncher or hamachi as agreed upon by the players.

MAPS

• The first game of any series between two players will be carried out on the designated map for that round and for that game, taken from the map pool.
  
• Subsequent maps will be picked by the loser from the map pool, so ensure you are familiar with it.

SEASON

• The season will run for 5 weeks, with a small interlude as the iCCup server shuts down.
  
• The first round will commence on Friday the 11th of December, see a full list of fixtures below.

FIXTURES

• The games will be played over the weekend between Friday and must be complete before 12 midday on Monday.
  
• The games may be completed on a different day or postponed to a more convenient date if one of the admins are informed and it does not inconvenience one team greatly.

CAPTAINS

It will be the job of the captains to submit results, team lineups and complaints about games or behaviour. It is also the captain's responsibility to organise a fair time among teammates to carry out the matches and report any anomalies to an admin.

Despite extra responsibility, captains are rewarded with the final say on team promotions from the B-Team.

I expect at the very least the following tasks to be taken on by the captains:
- Report results ASAP
- Report complains ASAP
- Submit lineups ASAP
- After each round if you have the time send a report on the round for your team. What went wrong? What went right? Anything that needs admin intervention?

RESULTS

Results will be updated in a TeamLiquid thread, and on teamaus.org forums.

The team captain must submit all team match results to an admin via email with attached replays. The players may send the replays independently but a match will not be counted without a replay so please remember to save them.

CONTACTS

I have many player contacts so if you have trouble ask and PureKnight or myself may have some.

SCORING

Win – 3 ladder points
Loss – 0 ladder points
Draw – 1 ladder point
Bonus 0.5 Point – Winning 4-0; Winning 4-0 without dropping a single game; Losing in an ACE match

Ties determined with win/loss ratio (your team score), then by game for/against (individual game scores), then by ace match victories.

Bonus points work such that if you win 4-0 with all games 2-0 you get 4 ladder points as opposed to 3, if you win 4-0 but drop single games anywhere you get 3.5 ladder points. Any other win will be 3 ladder points. If your game is taken to ACE and you lose there you get 0.5 ladder points instead of the usual 0.

ICCUP LADDER RULES

ICCup ladder rules apply where appropriate: iCCup LADDER RULES

WALKOVERS

A walkover counted as a 2-0 victory will be awarded to the opponent of a player who does not show up at the agreed game time within 20 minutes of scheduled start time. Excessive absences once the games have started will be permitted but keep in mind that if you take longer than 10-15 minutes your opponent may be awarded a walkover depending on the nature of your absence.

POSTPONED GAMES AND DRAWS

In the case where a player cannot make a particular time even within the allocated 84 hours of the round an individual game may be postponed to a time during the week agreed upon by both players and an admin who may ask to attend the game in order to award possible walkovers and update results ASAP.

It may also be the case that a player knows he will be away for the next round without a replacement, and in this case the game may be played early if convenient for his opponent and if player orders have been submitted.

A draw may result when two opposing teams cannot present enough players for more than 2 matches including B-Team and replacement players.

LAG

If lag is experienced, you are encouraged to try playing the games on hamachi or battle.net with ChaosLauncher after informing an admin and your team captain.

If the problem cannot be resolved within 15 minutes and it is unclear who is the faulty party the backup players for both teams will participate in the game instead.

We are Aussies so a small amount of lag may be expected and is no grounds to blow up. Repeat offenders may be replaced by a B-Team member if they are unable to resolve lag issues at the captain’s order and admin’s approval.

DISCONNECTIONS

Any deliberate disconnections by a player will, if proven, result in a walkover for the opponent.

Accidental disconnections within the first 3 minutes of a game will be replayed. If it happens more than 3 times in a single match the guilty player will be replaced by a replacement player, or both players will be replaced if it is unclear who is causing the disconnects.

Accidental disconnections after the 3 minute mark will be replayed upon both player’s consent unless the admin rules via the replay that one player had a 95%+ game-winning advantage or likelihood in which case a win will be awarded to the appropriate player. If a player refuses to replay a match on the grounds of thinking they had a significant advantage (95%+ sure to win the game) they may ask another admin’s second opinion but that decision is final. A walkover will be awarded to a player whose opponent does not replay a match when they have been ordered to by an administrator.

MAP POOL

A map of the round will be designated for each round for both 1v1 and 2v2 games. The map will be used as the first map played in each game for that round with subsequent games in the series being played on a map chosen by the loser of the previous game. The maps will be chosen from the map pool below.

In the Finals, a more detailed map selection will be used.

COMPLAINTS

Complaints must be submitted promptly to an admin of the event and a copy sent to your team captain, accompanied by a replay and detailed description of the problem. Note that this must be done even if the problem was settled by an admin at the time. Complaints about games older than the previous round will be ignored.

MISCELLANEOUS

      OBSERVERS

Observers are allowed on consent from both players. They must leave if asked to by either player or an admin. An admin may observe a game at any time.

      RANDOM

If you designate your race as being ‘random’ you are welcome to but if your opponent does not want to face random, before the game you must contact an admin to choose your race before the game in the lobby (i.e. it just emulates choosing random).

      RACE CHOOSING

You are allowed to choose your race for a specific matchup but it MUST be known before the lineups are announced that you intend to do this. By default your designated main race will be identified as those in the following thread:

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=103610

      ANTIHACK

AntiHack must be ON if playing on the iCCup server.

      CHANNEL

‘op SoO’ on iCCup.

      SMURFS

If you are known by an ID other than that listed in the link above, you must let an admin and your opponent know in advance.

You must play from an Australian IP.

      REPLAYS

A match may not be counted without a replay so please remember to save them.

      BYES
Because of the number of teams, each round a team will be given a bye under which they don't play any games but have the chance to practice further for the next week. A bye counts as a win (3 ladder points) but will not affect any for-and-against statistics.
