General Rules:
Players will be randomly placed in the brackets. Players can request a restart in situations where their maps are bugged or otherwise failed to generate in the intended way. After a restart, civilizations and colors must remain the same.
The moment one of the players detects a potential bugged generation of the map, they will pause the game to discuss it.
If both players are able to see the bugged generation in game, they will discuss there whether it qualifies for an admin restart.
In case one of the players cannot see it (as it may be in the fog of war), the other player will take a screenshot to show the opponent and players will save and exit the game. Players will discuss whether it qualifies for an admin restart in the game room.
In case that players don’t agree upon whether or not the generation is indeed bugged, they will resume that game, finish it, play all the remaining games, whether one player wins 2-0 or not, and then replay the map that had the bugged generation with the same civilizations as before. They will inform inform this situation when submitting the recordings. Tournament organizers will decide on the bugged generation and either use the original game or the backup one for the score.
