The tournament will be organized through VT Gaming's IRC Channel. You can get there by joining #VTGaming @ Gamesurge or by going to the Community tab at the top and selecting VT IRC. Then enter your nickname and click Connect.
Reporting for the tournament will be done through the IRC. To report a match, simply message one of the admins the results of your game (e.g. Zerker 1-0 Attero).
If there is a dispute in any of the games, please message one of the admins through the IRC. If they do not answer in IRC, try messaging them in game. Replays are required to resolve any disputes that may come about.
If a player does not show for their match within 10 minutes of the scheduled time, message one of the administrators.

Rules:
If a player disconnects, the game must be replayed. If a player feels that they had such a significant advantage that their win would be imminent, then they can dispute the match and an admin. will determine if a win should be given. In the case of repeated disconnects, the player with the issue may be forfeited at the discretion of administrators. Only official casters and administrators will be allowed in the game. If an official caster or administrator lags continuously, they will be disallowed to cast or observe future games. Excessive bad manner will result in warnings or forfeited games at the discretion of the administrative staff. In extreme cases, bans from future events will result.

Then reply to the post found here via the comment section and/or through the reply option with your Name.Identifier (e.g. Mirhi.136).
