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 clarify some complaints. The scenario is RCB League 2017 v2, because you have been playing with it for 6 months or more. You may pick 2016 from the scenario list, but the scenario itself is the same as 2017 and it has been so for a very long time now. The real version of 2016 was deleted and you have not played it since June.

The BBTs in the real 2016 version were next to the Pyramid. The Genitour unlocked after 13 minutes.

In the fake 2016 (which is actually 2017) BBTs are next to the haystacks and the Genitour unlocks after 16 minutes.

The real version of 2016 was deleted with the usage of Fair Mod by Weapon, you can thank him or hate or whatever, but I am not changing the tournament scenario back to the real 2016, which noone has played for over 6 months or more.

Edit: If you have the RCB Fair Mod enabled, it does not matter which scenario pick from the list 2016 or 2017 v2, regardless of your pick the scenario is going to be 2017 v2.

Group Stage games are concluded and four teams have advanced to the Final Stage.
