Winner in case of a draw
Pick the first option that applies:
Each team gets 1 restart. This restart can ONLY be used when you are defending.
A restart must be requested BEFORE minute 1 of game time (remember that this is shorter than real minutes). Games that are restarted must be included when posting recorded games of the match. When a game is restarted, the civilizations must be the same as in the previous attempt.
Bugged maps
No exceptions are made for bugged maps.
Dropped players
Dropped games need to be restored.
Scheduling:
Every round will last 1 week, meaning each team has 1 week to schedule and play the games before the deadline of the round which is Sunday 23:59 GMT. You are encouraged to provide your best times and schedule as efficient as possible throughout the whole week in order to get the games played in time.
The staff will be very strict regarding scheduling, and difficulties might end up in Admin Times or Admin Wins.
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 team that came and is waiting must take a screenshot showing the World Time Server (so the current time is clearly visible) and 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.
Recorded Games
All matches must be recorded and uploaded to the Recorded Games Forum before advancing to the next round. There will be NO exceptions. Restarts need to be included in the pack. The games must have an easy to understand name.
Game naming examples:
DTWcup Qualifying R1 Team Baguette vs Team Smurf G1.mgz
DTWcup Last-16 Team Baguette vs Team Titanic G1.mgz
Seeding
All teams will be seeded based on average rating.
Streaming / Spectating
Anybody is welcome to cast, analyse or watch any game of DTWcup if both players accept them. Keep in mind that spectating is a privilege, not a right. Act accordingly.
The players can request for a delay of up to 05:00 minutes and no spectators, but no player will be allowed to refuse the presence of an official streamer who has identified himself as such AND is LIVE on Twitch.
If you want to get part of the official casters list to make sure players won't deny you, message Gentle on AoCZone.
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
Issues: Any issues with the client that may arise will be dealt with by the tournament mods/admins as they are presented.
No smurfing: 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.
Any rule can be added/modified at any time as seen fit by a tournament mod. This rule exists to stop and punish potential exploitation of loopholes in current rules. If anything is removed, added or changed, there will be a note at the bottom of the post and the passage will be colored.
