Do Nots:
* Cheat, Hack, Multiaccount
* Send stupid support tickets
* Flame, Whine, Whatever
* Play a map in a not-BO1-match more than one time
* Players who cause huge delays by going afk or having a lot of discs may possibly be removed from a running tournament. The active admin can take this decision when a match delays the progress of the whole tournament.
Do not forget:
* Report the game after it is finished here on the site.
* Checkin in 30 minutes before the start.
* Save all replays. All Grid replays must be uploaded via the replay upload system. Wiki
Parameters:
* Coming to late 15 minutes will most likely result in a defloss.
* Disconnecting after 3 minutes will result in a defloss for this map.
* Once players agree to start the map picking process, it is not allowed to change the faction for the first map. (Random is counted as a faction) You can not report violations to this rule after a game started.
* Payouts via Paypal only. International bank transfer possible but that can be really expensive.
Observers:
* Observers are only allowed when both players agree. Referees / Gamecasters are always allowed.
* If one or more player(s) complain about lag during a running game, everybody except the main livestreamer will have to leave the game instantly.
Details:
* BO1 Map Elimination Instructions:
1. The player starting the map elimination process is the top player in the GRID BRACKET . After the top player in the grid bracket eliminates the first map then the bottom player in the grid bracket eliminates a map. The process continues back and forth until 1 map remains.
* Precise BO3 Map And Faction Selection Procedure In This Order:
1. Both Players Select Their Previous Game's Race
2. Loser of previous game Selects Map
3. Each player is allowed to change their race exactly 1 time starting with the winner of the previous game and then the loser of the previous game having final choice of race.
4. Press Start
5. If this arrangement can not be settled between the players submit a support ticket and a referee can settle it between the 2 players and get the game started
6. Random remains a valid race choice. For example, Moving from "Protoss" to "Random" is considered a "race switch". As another example, moving from "Random" to "Terran" is considered a "race switch". In other words "Random" is simply treated as a fourth race.
