Tournament Rules:
Streaming
No player will be allowed to refuse the presence of a known Streamer (AoCZone, Voobly, ZeroEmpires) who has identified himself as such. A minimum of 01:30 Spectator delay (set by the Host of the game) must be set. The players can request for a delay of up to 05:00 minutes.
After a game is over, the host must wait for the Streamer to come back from the previous game before launching the next one.
Restarts
Each player is awarded two restarts each.
You may use no more than one restart per map. That means that if you've used one restart for G1, and still have a restart left, you are not allowed to use another restart for the G1.
A restart must be requested no longer than 4 minutes 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.
Map Bugs
If a player has ressources trapped in the forest, he can ask for a restart during the first 8min. The game must then be replayed with the same civilisations.
If a player has no door to the middle field, it also fits in those conditions.
Any lie about a bugged map may lead to an admin loose for that map.
Dropping
Dropped games need to be restored.
