Rules

• If a player disconnects, the game will be resumed.
• If the game cannot be resumed we will try to view the recorded game. If one player/team was going to win without any doubt they will be awarded the win. If there was no obvious winner then the game will be replayed with the exact same settings.
• If the same player constantly disconnects, they/their team will forfeit and the other player/team will progress to the next round. The exception to this rule is if the tournament has not progressed past the first round. A replacement can then be added to the offending team.
• If a player is causing unplayable lag and can clearly be proven as the sole cause of the lag then that player may be disqualified.

• Each team/player can pause once in game for a total of 5 minutes. Other players are not allowed to unpause until they are sure that that everyone has returned. Any player who has paused for longer than this period, without the permission of the other player/team, will be asked to unpause or an admin win will be granted to the other player/team.
• Players who repeatedly unpause before the 5 minutes is up will cause an admin win to be granted to the other player/team.
• A pause will be allowed to exceed 5 minutes if the player if communicating with a tournament organizer.

• Deleting buildings in maps that have rewards for razing is generally not permitted in tournament play. A partially built building counts as a razing and will cause you to violate the rule.
• Unbuilt buildings that need to be deleted can be deleted, if no any enemy unit is trying to raze it nor is near it.

• Camping is defined as a player playing ultra defensively in order to gain an unfair advantage. If a player stays at their gates and does not move towards the middle to attack then that is clear camping. First offence means the game must be replayed. The second offence results in disqualification.
• Camping is defined as wasting time when the game is clearly over. If an admin is convinced that a player is doing this he can be kicked from the game.

• Every player/team has the right to take a 10-15 minute break between the semi-finals and final games of the tournament.
• Players/Teams that take unofficial breaks will be judged depending on the situation. If an organiser determines them to be wasting time they will be disqualified.

• Discriminatory language in any form is not tolerated. A violation of this rule can result in disqualification. Keep in mind that there are official rules related to this concern.
• Simple trash talk is allowed since it has always been part of competitive activities such as sports or games. Keeping it to a minimum would be nice though.

VCOM Host Rulings

• Any rule may be changed by the tournament organizers on or before the night.
• All rulings by the official VCOM tournament organizers are final.

Can't sabotage your own tournament, Barry, you are listed as one of the hosts.

Tournaments always Sundays

Normal people have a day off on Sundays... I guess you are not normal then.

Working Monday mornings is pretty abnormal for someone on here

Get some sleep in advance and then wake up for the tournament?

That would give me a 1 hour window, as I start work on Mondays at 6am.

That kinda sucks - maybe the tournament can be hosted on a Saturday instead? Besides, I reckon most people are going to stay sober if they want to win this 11

I personally do not care if it is Saturday or Sunday. If enough people request for a change I will make the switch.
