From the map list above, the players will choose to discard 3 maps each until 1 map resides, this map will be played first. Whoever is seeded lowest will start to choose map. The second game map will be chosen by the looser of game1, and the third game will be chosen by the looser of game2.

Note! The same map can not be played two times in the same BO3.

B. Abuse and cheating.

All "abuse" of features that are a part of the game is allowed.

All matters of cheating/hacking is NOT allowed and if there is displayed replay evidence of this, the guilty person will get kicked from all compos he/she is participating in.

C. Info about all the rounds.

C1. Preliminary rounds.

In the preliminary round the players have to be ready AT LEAST 15 minutes before the game is scheduled to start. If one of the players has not showed up within 10 minutes after the game is scheduled he will lose on walkover. The winner must then report this on partyticket.net

If you are having difficulties with power/network before you game is about to start you have to tell this to the game crew right away, and then get someone from tech to help you with this.

C2. Finals and Semi-finals

If a player feels sick he HAS TO talk to one from the game crew before he can leave. If this happens the game crew will decide how to deal with the problem and the judgement is not negotiable.

The finals from the looser brackets and winner brackets will be played on the official server computers in the game-area. You can bring your own keyboard, mouse and headphones but nothing else.

D. Disconnect

If a player disconnects in the first 1-5 minutes of a preliminary game caused by cause of the network going down on his/her row or the power goes out, the game will automatically be a rematch, come and talk to the game crew immediately if this occurs.

If a player disconnect in the middle/end of a game of a preliminary round caused by the network going down or the power goes out, he/she has to talk to the game crew and we will decide how to deal with it. The decision is final and non-negotiable.

E. Various rules

Late pick of races is completely legal, if the other player leaves the game because of this he/she looses the game.

If both players agree on choosing random race and one of them does not do this, it is NO EXCUSE to leave the game and the person not complying will lose the game/round.

If your mouse/keyboard stops working, put the game on PAUSE immediately (on keyboard: f10 -> p, on mouse: options -> pause game)
