Scheduling games:
You have a full 7 days in which to play your matches. All games must be scheduled in the provided forums, and agreements to a specific day and time (including the time zone) must be clear. Then if one team is a no show at that time, the other team may receive an admin win unless there are exceptional circumstances which prevented a team from being able to come. (ie. internet connection has gone down, storm has knocked out power, wife has gone into labour, grandma has died -- you get the idea). Tournament admins will make the decisions on a case by case basis.
Note: If your opponents do not show up at the agreed upon time, please wait 20 mins to make sure that they aren't just running a few minutes late. But if they do not show up in those 20 mins then please reply in the scheduling forum that they did not show up and you can request an ADMIN win for that match. If they have a legitimate reason for missing the scheduled start time, they may try to reschedule the match -- however, if the match cannot take place because no times can be made to work, then the team which was a no show will still get admin loss.
When is it necessary to contact an admin?
If both teams come to an agreement about the game in question as regards the rules, and wish to continue the games then the teams may do so. However, you may NOT request an admin win or admin restart after having agreed to continue the match, and then since you lost, you decide to request admin help. If there is a problem that you cannot resolve between the two teams, the match must be paused until an admin has been contacted about the problem. The Admin will then make a decision based upon their best interpretation of the rules and the match may then be continued. I am hopeful that an admin will often be around immediately, but I cannot promise that at this point. If no admin is present please do your best to resolve the dispute by consulting the rules and making your decisions as best you can.
