Team Random

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.

Just to point out that the player positions are different from a regular RCB 2v2 game. The intention is to see, if it is more competitive of fun to play than the normal 2v2 setup.

Team 1 = Player 1 (Blue) + Player 3 (Green)
Team 2 = Player 2 (Red) + Player 4 (Yellow)

In theory this should make middle camping less of a thing and fighting at the corner would happen more often, unless of course one of the teams is a bundle of sticks.

tell tommy i wanna team him, and he'd better prepare some good .dll hacks for us

who is tommy?

Sign me up.

which is RCB Fair Mod has to be enabled.?

it's for ffa random civs....... it gives players super mordreds which give them 20 razes in turn ... well making the losers have a fighting chance.. it will prolong tournament too..?

u haven't through this through

also p1p3 vs... you'll need to predetermine civs...

mirror will fail E.G.

p1 japs p2 mong p3 japs p4 mong

p1 japs will own mid = gg gb likely = unfair

The super Mordreds are in the map anyway and I nerfed them in the latest version. With Fair Mod Mordred cannot be used againts units which is a good thing.

I will predetermine civs, it is stated so in the thread...

Your lack of faith is disturbing.

ok men

haha well pick good ones!!!! no archer of eye **** 11

Archer of Eye is only a valid tactic with Teutons for a RCB 2v2 setup. This is not FFA where you can feed off random people.

Will be sux i think,make it p1&p2 vs p3&p4 ,with team random ,is more fun and fair,u cant make balance civis

Team random is unfair, spots and civilizations can get ****ed up, it is still Mirror Civilizations, but I will be prodviding the civilizations for each round, so you get a fair match up. And P1&P3 vs P2&P4 will be interesting to see and likely players themselves will find it more fun or challenging atleast.
