Civilizations
In rounds 1 through 4 civilizations can be played once per series. In the finals Minoan can not be played after game 1 and after that a civilization ban will take place where each player will ban one additional civilization, with the game 1 loser banning second. Then a civilization draft will take place with each player picking eight civilizations, with the loser of game 1 picking first.

The server will be one that both players agree on or one that is based on both player's locations.

Player Colors
The higher seeded player will get to pick their color in game first.
Streaming
All streamers and video creators will be allowed to spectate the game using the spectator feature. Spectators who broadcast to another language will be given a spot in the lobby over a streamer streaming a language which is already being streamed. If you would like to spectate a game and stream or record it you will need to send a message to the admin. Streamers who message the admin about an upcoming match that they would like to cast earlier will be given a priority. The admin will try to cast as many games that do not have any other coverage, so most games are covered.
Cheating
If you are caught cheating you will be removed from the tournament.
Prizes
There currently are no prizes, but if anyone would like to donate something that can be given away as a prize, then message the admin.
Updates
If the game is updated then the round that is currently being played will be played on the same patch and the next round will be played on the new patch.
Updates to Rules
The admin at anytime can update the rules and players must read the updated rules or they may miss out.
