If you are entered in the tournament as a player or as an alternate I need you to make a post below to let me know you have read the rules, any questions, please include them in your post. I will post the tier as soon as I hear from the players. (working on your question _acid_head_)
I. Cheating â
01. Anyone caught cheating will be kicked out of the tournament. You can not just accuse someone. Do what you can to document. If enough evidence is supplied the match will be forfeited, if not then the match will be scored as played. The final decision will be up to the Senior Admins.
02. If you dont know how to make a demo ask before your match. All matches should have demos. We personally don't believe any of the players that have signed up would 'cheat'. Once the rules are all posted you can always pull out of the tournament if you think your playing style constitutes a cheat.
03. Clarification on the first rule - What is cheating?
* If you are an admin on Vadavaka do not use any admin commands except to lock and unlock the server for 1 on 1 play any other admin commands used during a match are considered cheats.
* admin_slay is definitely a cheat
* Intentional use of exploits/bugs is considered a cheat.
II. Match Time â
01. Matches will be 20 minutes each. If the round ends in a tie a best out of 5 full rounds will determine who wins. Wins will be based on number of wins in a match and not points. For the tournament points scored will be totally ignored.
02. The referee will make sure the server is empty for the match, lock the server
give the password to the players and reset the map and then once everyone returns they are to wait on a bottom pad until the referee (who will be spectating) performs a countdown.
III. Match Info â
01. You have seven (7) days from the day your thread goes up to play your match. An admin will set up your thread and only the admins and the players involved in the match can post. If any others post it will be deleted. If you have not posted in the thread within the first 3 days you will forfeit the match and an alternate will take your place in the tournament. If for any approved reason you miss your match date you will have the remainder of what is left of the original 7 days to make it up. You are allowed one âpermittedâ excuse for the duration of the entire tournament.
02. This is as pro as it gets this time. There will be no whining about time zones and lag. It is up to you to make arrangements that suit you and your opponent. A timezone converter can be found at http://www.timezoneconverter.com/cgi-bin/tzc.tzc
03. Exceptions to missed matches will be reviewed by the senior admins. You will want to explain your side as soon as possible for review in your thread. Lag situations will be addressed in the legitimate excuses post.
04. All matches do not have to be played on Vadâs or GRITS servers. You can play on any agreed upon server that can be locked for your match. If there is no agreement to play elsewhere then the community servers are where you play your match.
05. There will be no power ups. You must have this tournament map before your match time. This is a jump-skill and aim/timing-skill tournament. Type killing is acceptable in tournament play. Even I can go without typing for 20 minutes.....ok well maybe not but I wonât complain if I get killed while I am doing it.
06. One and only one spray can be left at the end of the match for when you take your screen shot.
07. Screen shots (console command snapshot) are needed for proof of score. Players should take a screen shot and post in their match thread. Please use a .jpg format for your screen shot when you post in the forums.
08. If the server crashes while you are playing the match, you can both decide if you want to continue where it ended, or restart the match over from scratch. You will have the remainder of your original 7 days to get the match finished.
09. If a person locks up during a match, take a screen shot of the current scores, wait for the person to come back in. If they are there within 10 minutes, you will then decide if you want to continue the match or start over from scratch. Either way you will need to have both scores zeroed out, so both people can leave the map and then enter back in.
