Hey guys,
Overdosed Gaming will be hosting our monthly $100 tournament this Saturday at 1pm PST. The tournament link to sign-up can be found here: http://www.z33k.com/games/starcraft2-heart-of-the-swarm/tournaments/12696-overdosed-gaming-open-10 . Please help support our tournaments by following www.twitch.tv/itsvip . This tournament is possible thanks to the support from CORE Gaming.
1. Finals and Semifinals: The finals and semifinals will be set up and observed by an Admin and caster.
2. Size: Upon the discretion of the Admin(s) and height of demand, this tournaments size may increase or decrease.
3. Timeouts:A player may pause during a game if needed, but if they do not return within a reasonable amount of time without properly informing the other player, the player waiting will be awarded with an automatic match win on an admins judgment.
4. Cheating:If a player is caught to be cheating (mineral or map hacks, watching the stream, using a smurf account, etc.), they will be banned from future tournaments and disqualified from this tournament. Things such as abusing known bugs will also result in short-term bans. Multiple offenses will lead to permanent bans.
5. Disappearing/AFK:If for some reason a player doesn't show up to play in the first round he/she will be disqualified from that tournament. Time restraints are as follows: Once a round officially starts (or the bracket goes up), a player has 10 minutes before he/she forfeits the a game. If the round is a best of three the player has another 5 minutes before he/she forfeits the series. Obviously we're willing to be reasonable for actual serious problems, but just disappearing with no warning, or refusing to play, is pretty bad manner and we don't like it.
6. Conduct:Excessive bad manners (BM) such as noob bashing, hardcore raging, or racial slurs, spamming, etc is grounds for removal from the tournament.
7. Rulings:All rules and guidelines are subject to change without notice at the discretion of an admin or tournament host.
8. Streaming/Observing:Streaming and observing is only allowed if both players agree and/or an Admin wishes to cast the match. All live streams are to have a 3 - 5 minute delay to prevent stream sniping.
If you are being casted: I) Do not reveal who won until the stream has caught up. II) No advertising a product, team, player, etc. III) If you start the game without the casters, you must remake with the casters.
9. Chat: Players are expected to communicate via the SC2 channel: Overdosed Tournament
10. Play on:If a player is disqualified or quits, at the discretion of an Admin, a player who was previously eliminated may have an opportunity to play.
11. Race Switching: You must play all of your games as the race you signed up for.
