All teams must show initiative to contact their opponent. If your opponent is not responding in-game, the seatmap must be used to physically contact your opponents. In case of an AFK, the admin must be notified.




While playing a tournament game it is required to switch your status to “busy”. If you get caught with another status you’ll get a warning.

During the match

No unapproved programs may be running during any matches. Acceptable programs may be determined by an admin, but generally include: music, hardware monitoring, antivirus.




Players may not communicate with anyone during their game besides their teammate, opponents and admins.




The use of default skins for units is not mandatory.




In case of a tie (detected by StarCraft 2 in-game or when both teams agree on a tie situation) a rematch will be played.




Pauses for issues not related to either connection or hardware are not allowed. Pausing the game without a valid reason will result in a warning.




Players are allowed to chat in a tournament game. They’ll have to do this in a proper way and do it with good sportsmanship. Inappropriate chatter will result in a warning.

 

After the match

Both players must submit and confirm the result of a match. This can be done on the website or through an admin.




Replays must be provided to an admin when requested. If a reply cannot be provided a rematch will take place.

 

Scheduling issues

You are allowed to play in multiple compos. For example, if you want play in both StarCraft II 1v1 and 2v2, that is fine. If due to scheduling issues you have to play matches in both competitions, the 1v1 will take precedence over the 2v2 (so you will have to forfeit your 2v2 match).




You are allowed to play games ahead of schedule. However, if doing so results in delaying or messing up the schedule of another compo, walkovers are the player’s own responsibility!

 

Disconnect / Leaves

In case of a player disconnecting the resume from replay function will be used, unless an admin can confirm that 1 team was severely ahead in which case a win will be awarded. If the resume from replay function cannot be used for any reason a rematch will be played.




In case of internet, battle.net or hardware issues the game can be paused. If after a pause the issue is not resolved, the game will be resumed from replay or a rematch will take place.

 

Cheating

Any form of cheating will not be tolerated. If an admin determines a player is cheating their team will be immediately disqualified and removed from the tournament and the offending player may be restricted from participating in future events.




Seeing your opponents monitor is also considered cheating.




Collusion and Match Fixing: players are not allowed to intentionally alter the results of any match. If an admin determines matches were fixed, the offending player(s) will be immediately disqualified and removed from the tournament and may be restricted from participating in future events. Players must compete to the best of their abilities at all times (fair play!).

 

Observers

Compo admins and registered livestreamers can at all times request to join a tournament game. Other observers are only allowed when both players agree. Inviting unwanted observers will result in a warning.




Observer who slow down the game or have connection issues must leave the game as soon as possible. Tournament games with observers leaving for whatever reason will not be replayed because of it.
