Tournament Rules: Respect:
Any Flaming will result in a disqualification unless their opponent confirms it was not meant in an offensive way, just a joke. In this case, a warning will be issued. A second time will result in instant disqualification.
Map Bugs
If a player starts with a trapped boar, sheep, deer or if any of their main gold/stone piles have less than 3 exposed sides then the map may be restarted without consuming a restart point. This must be done within the first 8 minutes! The replayed map must be the same with the same civilisations.
Dropping
If the opponent drops, you MUST click "save and exit". All dropped games must be restored!
Those dropped games have to be restored within 10 minutes, else the player having a technical issue will be DQ'd.
A tutorial explaining how to restore games with Voobly is here
All aspects, plus others not listed, will be analyzed before making a decision by tournament runners and others as they see fit.
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
Any issues with the client that may arise will be dealt with by the VCOM tournament mods/admins as they are presented.
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.
Matches must be played in the Tournament Lobby, (This lobby) and must be rated using the VCOM Ladder! Example: http://www.voobly.com/match/view/9658362
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 player that came and is waiting must take a screenshot showing [You must login to view link] (so the current time is clearly visible) and VCOM 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.

Signups will close Friday 9th of January, 23:59 GMT.
Why should you sign up?
"You should sign up for this tournament because it will be good fun and a good way to introduce yourself to Death Match (if you haven’t really played it before). What’s more, you could win a hour or two of training from a 2k+ player, which, if you’re 1600-1800, could be very beneficial to your gameplay. It might also give you a chance to play some different maps, particularly the Random Map turned Death Match maps that will be used. It’s not an excessive amount of games, and I’ve tried not to make it too repetitive. In my opinion, it’ll be a really fun, interesting tournament." - [SpitFire]Blotch
