Terms of participation
By accepting your invitation and competing in the event you agree to the following conditions:
- You may be forfeited if you are not ready to play later than 30 minutes after the scheduled match time.
- You will not leak your replays until an official replay pack has been released.
- You will comply to the other rules detailed here.
- You will not publicly slander or reproach any of the staff or sponsors associated with this tournament on any public medium.
Map Selection
Each player will vetoe one map from the 5-map pool posted above. The player in the topmost position on the bracket will vetoe the first map. The three remaining maps will form the maps for the series. An additional round of vetoes will be used on the 3 maps (with the opposite person picking first) and the final remaining map will form the first map of the series. Games played on incorrect maps will not count at all and must be replayed on the correct map. Loser picks from the maps chosen by vetoe after the first game.
Walkovers
Walkovers for Round 1 will be awarded after 30 minutes of no-show unless something has been worked out and an admin notified beforehand that a player is late, pending a reasonable excuse.
Disconnects
Games disconnecting within 3 minutes will be replayed. Disconnects after 3 minutes will be determined on a case-by-case basis. If neither player things they were significantly ahead a rematch is the default response but if one player believes they have an extremely significant advantage (i.e. waiting for GG) they may dispute the rematch. Repeat disconnectors may be forced to forfeit the match.
There are to be no more than 2 restarts per series. If there have been restarts for any reason twice in a given BoX series then the culprit of a third disconnection will forfeit the game.
Lag
Players will be given a 5 minute pause grace period to fix lag, but excessive unplayable lag may result in disqualification. Repeat offendors may be forced to forfeit the tournament.
Spectators
No observers will be allowed except the casting team and event administrators/sponsors, even if both players agree there are to be no spectators. No unofficial streamers are allowed.
Replays
Replays of all games must be saved and emailed to an administrator at iccup.del@gmail.com
Unsportsmanlike behaviour
Unsportsmanlike conduct and abuse of any kind during, prior or after matches will not be tolerated. This may include excessive abuse in chat, racist, sexist or other inappropriate or offensive statements, or personal attacks. Incidents in private chat after the games will not be considered unless directed at tournament staff or sponsors. Punishment may also be issued for the above offences in the context of official tournament threads on public forums.
Pause
Pausing is permitted but you must disclose your reason for doing so and your opponent may unpause the game at any time unless the reason for the pause is lag or event/rule related. If you pause you are obligated to do the unpause unless an admin is present and you request they unpause.
Racepicking
Racepicking between individual rounds is allowed. Racepicking between individual games in a series is not allowed as the map vetoe has already taken place, and racepicking may influence your opponent's choice of maps.
By accepting your invitation and competing in the event you agree to the following conditions:
