Rules
Dropping and Lag Rules
If a player disconnects, the game will be Saved.
If the game cannot be restore we will try to view the recorded game. If one 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 will forfeit and the other player 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 the Team of that player may be disqualified.
Pausing Rules
Each Team can pause once in game for a total of 5 minutes. Other Team is not allowed to unpause until they are sure that both of Team are present. Any player who has paused for longer than this period, without the permission of the other player, will be asked to unpause or an admin win will be granted to the other Team . Players who repeatedly unpause before the 5 minutes is up will cause an admin win to be granted to the other Team . A pause will be allowed to exceed 5 minutes if the Team communicating with a tournament organizer.
Deleting Rules
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. The exceptions to this rule are as follows:
CBA
Building is inside your or your allies open base, it has more than 25% health and there are no enemy units within range to hit it.
Building is inside your or your allies closed base and there are no enemy units within range to hit it.
Building is in the main map but it is not on the front line of buildings and there are no enemy units near it.
You or your team have a significant number of units fighting in front of the building, it is blocking the way and highly unlikely to be destroyed.
Camping Rules
CBA
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.
Break Rules
Every Team has the right to take a 10-15 minute break between the semi-finals and final games of the tournament.
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
Language Rules
Discrimination 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
