  Rules
  
  
• Cheating/Foul Play
  Obviously any third-party programs that, in the administrator’s eyes, Is seen as giving an unfair advantage is strictly disallowed. Inoffensive trash-talk or mind games are permitted to an extent – excessive spam in chat is not allowed. Getting friends to talk to you on vent, observe the game, or talk to you in an external chat program while you are in game is forbidden. Watching possible live streams while still competing is forbidden. If an admin deems you have abused a glitch in a way that is deemed against the spirit of a game it may count as cheating. Remember that when it comes to cheating it is up to the admin’s discretion to please use common sense and don’t do anything you might think is suspect.
  
  
• Prize
  Payment of the prize will be by Direct Deposit (preferred) but if really necessary I can use PayPal. If you live near Newtown it can be cash, depending on my availability. I will not compensate for any currency exchange or PayPal rates incurred.
  
  
• Eligibility
  You must be either a long-term (i.e. not just on holidays) resident of either Australia or New Zealand OR a citizen of the aforementioned countries living overseas to qualify for this tournament. If you feel your situation may need some explaining contact an admin ASAP. Not disclosing information that we deem important may disqualify you from participating in this and any future events. Measures may be taken to check your location if there is cause to.
  
  
• Replays
  Email your replays after each game to iccup.del@gmail.com or pauldavidstack@hotmail.com for the replay pack released after the tournament.
  
  
• Walkovers
  A walkover counted as a 1-0 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. Absences once the tournament has started will be permitted but if you take longer than 10-15 minutes, depending on your reason, your opponent may be awarded a walkover.
  
  
• Reserve Players
  The ordered list of reserve/backup players is final once the tournament begins – changes will not be made so if you see an error point it out beforehand. A reserve player will take the place of an absent or disqualified player from the first round of the tournament only if A) The reserve player is present on IRC or Battle.net and has contacted an admin within at least 15 minutes of the tournament start; and B) The player is next in line on the reserve player list, which will be updated 15 minutes after the tournament start time. Reserve players who also ‘check in’ in this manner but do not get to compete will receive first-chance entries into subsequent tournaments.
  
  
• Postponements
  In the case that a player who is already signed up will be late to arrive, an admin must be notified immediately. By notifying your circumstances early in this manner you will be granted half an hour leeway on playing in the tournament at the designated time. That is, you may be up to 30 minutes late in this manner.
  
  If a game requires postponement from the semi-finals or onwards, all players yet to play must agree on one of the three backup times: Tuesday 6PM, Saturday 6-7PM, Sunday 6-7PM unless otherwise required by the caster/s.
  
  
• Account Sharing
  There will be strictly no account sharing between two or more players who are both participating in the tournament. Note that this means you are free to borrow someone else’s account to play if you must (notifying an admin beforehand) but a unique account is required for each participant.
  
  
• Contacting an Opponent
  If you cannot get in touch with your opponent either on IRC or battle.net please inform an admin ASAP so that a ‘countdown’ can begin in the case of a potential walkover. The 20 minutes will start from when an admin has confirmed that a player cannot be contacted so please be prompt – don’t wait until the 19th minute to contact an admin and try to get a cheeky walkover.
  
  
• Lag, Disconnects, Pauses and Draw Games
  If unplayable lag is experienced you must immediately say so, inform an admin while still in game, and then discontinue the game. After that you will retry with all observers and shoutcasters absent. If the problem cannot be resolved within 15 minutes and it is unclear who is the faulty party, a reserve player (or two) will take the place of one or more players or a random player will be chosen to advance (e.g. paper, scissors, rock). In the event of minor lag it must be played through – don’t blow up we’re Aussies just deal with it.
  
  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.
  
  If a game is ‘drawn’ both players must agree to a regame, and notify an admin. The admin may deem that one player was ahead/winning and may award them the win or they may deem it a draw and force a rematch. If one player refuses to re-game when an admin deems the game a draw they forfeit the match and the opponent receives a walkover.
  
  Players must alert an admin immediately in the event of a pause. 5 minutes pause time is the default allowed, but it may be extended with good reason. They must ensure the opponent is ready to un-pause the game and give a 3 second countdown. The person who paused the game must unpause it. Unpausing the game when your opponent is not ready or without telling an admin may result in disqualification.
  
  
• Miscellaneous
  
  • Observers are allowed upon both players’ consent. They MUST be in Spectator mode.
    
  • Racepicking is allowed, though it two mutually exclusive racepickers meet the ‘main’ race will be used – that is the race that features in most of their matchups. If all 3 races are represented by a racepicker a present admin will choose their race.
    
  • Random is allowed. You are not required to announce your race.
    
  • Complaints must be submitted promptly to an admin present and a hard copy of the issue emailed to an admin if appropriate.
    
  • If you are known by an ID other than that in the playerlist above, you must let an admin and your opponent know in advance.
    
  • A match may not be counted without a replay so please remember to save them.
    
  • Please keep your manners in check, any overly offensive, racist, sexist or otherwise inappropriate remarks will be punished. Some banter between states/countries/friends is OK just nothing too serious.
