- each team has to have at least one nomad player (except for claustrophobia matches)
- The "Pool Party" mod is enabled in each game
- Combined rating (global and ladder, the higher one counts for each player individually) of the players in one team is below 4200 at the day of the tourney
- each player has to have a minimum of 50 played games
- Maps will be chosen by the TD on the tournament start for each bracket(!). The maps from the map pool will not be played more than 3 times in total and only once per team (max).
- Tournament Director have rights to change the rules anytime.
- A team that is late by 10 minutes will be kicked out of the tournament. Try to be in the channel some time before the tourney starts, so we can start without delay!
- The games will follow faf rules and ethics, anything that is deemed bannable will cost you points.
- Any team that causes a delay of more than 10 minutes runs at risk of being kicked from the tourney.
- Standard game options are the default options. Advanced game options and spawn positions are set individually by the TD for each matchup before the round starts.
- If a player drops due to disconnect in first 5 minutes he might ask for a rehost, which must be authorized by the Tournament Director. (To prevent ragequits)
- Game is hosted by the player who is mentioned first in the ping with the configurations, see the manual https://i.imgur.com/EUt5J0T.jpg
- Always wait for your ally to die, so you don't desync the game by leaving!
- Host of the game has to make sure that the latest version of the map is played (check in the vault before each game)
- smurfs trying to join/playing in the tourney are banned for at least a week
- if the game takes longer than 45 minutes, the team with more players alive or the higher score (when the teams have equal amounts) wins. (put score on!)
- if a game is not started within 10 minutes after the matchup is posted, the team that causes the delay will be counted as loser
- The semifinal is a BO3 to allow the losers bracket to catch up.
