Tournament Rules:

Home Maps:
All maps included in the original version of AOK: The Conquerors random maps are allowed.

Fortress is allowed only in Regicide mode and in its BCC3 version (Download Link: [You must login to view link]).

Black Forest must be played explored.

When playing Nomad, no players are allowed to intentionally slow down their opponents progress in the first three minutes of the game. This includes villager wars, building palisade walls, sheep stealing, and barracks first starts. In such a case the game has to be restarted. Any deliberate attempt to restart after a bad start may lead to an administrative decision. We advise you to NOT abuse this rule.


Map Bugs:
If a player has trapped ressources, he can ask for a restart during the first 8min. The replayed map must be the same with the same civilisations.
For example, If the map was Full Random and turned into Migration, then the replayed map will be Migration, not Full Random.
If a player has no door to the middle field in an Arena game, it also fits in those conditions.
Any lie about a bugged map may lead to an admin loose for that map.

Dropping:
Dropping will be determined based on current game state:
- If the winner dropped, then the match will be restored.
- If the game is still undecided at time of drop, match will be restored.
The winner of the restored game will take a screenshot at the end of the game and upload it as the result.
Those dropped games have to be restored within 15min, else the player having a technical issue will be DQ'd. Then
- If the loser is dropping (and it is clear he is losing), then the other person will move on and the dropped will be DQ'd.

All aspects, plus others not listed, will be analyzed before making a decision by tournament runners and others as they see fit.

Third Party Tools:
The use of any third party tool is prohibited. Examples are, but not limited to: Modified game files, syncers, crashers, network throttling devices (purposely lagging programs), and other such tools. Violation of this rule will not only result in disqualification from tournament, but termination/punishment as the Voobly staff team seems fit.

Misc:
Any issues with the client that may arise will be dealt with by the VCOM tournament mods/admins as they are presented.

You may only play on your account, and may only enter the tournament with one account. This also includes playing for someone else if your account was eliminated. Failure to follow this rule will result in disqualification of all involved accounts.

Once you and your opponent confirmed a time to play in the Scheduling Forum, the maximum waiting time is 30 minutes. More than that, the player that came and is waiting must take a screenshot showing [You must login to view link] (so the current time is clearly visible) and VCOM Tournament Lobby Game Room, and post the screenshot in Admin Win Requests topic, with a link to the post in the Scheduling forums where the game time was arranged and confirmed.

Any rule can be added/modified at any time as seen fit by a Voobly tournament mod. This rule exists to stop and punish potential exploitation of loopholes in current rules.

All matches must be recorded and uploaded in this topic before advancing to the next round there will be NO exceptions. The games may be uploaded to [You must login to view link]

Signups:
To sign up you must agree to the rules and state your full user name for the the tourney in this topic. Signups will close Friday 7th September, 12 PM GMT or earlier if the maximum players limit (256) is reached

Are we allowed to coop a friend to watch? Would be really awesome if we could so I can see progress.

This can be allowed only if both players agree (obviously excepted the semi-finals & finals since it will be live casted)

Keep in mind that if a player agrees his opponent to be cooped, then:
- he can not complain about the coop touching, neither can the player beeing cooped.
- he can not complain about the coop causing lag, neither can the player beeing cooped.

This is why coop are usually always forbidden in tournaments, I would personnaly refuse anyone to coop my games.

All the recorded games will be uploaded in this forum and on [You must login to view link], it is easier to download them and watch them rather than cooping.
