[td]Streaming Policy[/td]

[td][/td]

[td]To clear up any confusion and to make our streaming policy more accessible, we've decided to create a dedicated thread for this.

There has been plenty of debate about our decisions regarding streaming, and while we aren't going to address every single comment, we want to express that we aspire to create a fantastic tournament for the entire community - this means including as many people as we possibly can.

We've updated our policy once more, with a small, yet significant change for bigger streamers (marked with red in the text). This will, hopefully, allow and encourage as many streamers and viewers to engage in the tournament as possible.

1. The tournament offers a semi-open streaming policy.
   
   
   1. To get streaming rights on Twitch or Mixer and get access to all tournament games throughout all five weeks, streamers must pay a one-time fee of 0.4$ per current subscriber, up to a maximum of 1,000$, on their biggest platform.
      
      
   2. To get streaming rights on YouTube and access to all tournament games throughout all five weeks, streamers must pay a one-time fee of 0.5$ per 1000 total views, up to a maximum of 1,000$, during the last 30 days.
      
      
   3. To get streaming rights on any other platform, you must pay a one-time fee of 50$.
      
      
   4. Broadcasters must provide documentation for their subscribers and views.
      
      
   5. Broadcasters must show the tournament banner and logo in-between games, during their streams. It must be made clear, during the stream, who is hosting and sponsoring the tournament. Furthermore; during the tournament, broadcasters are expected to host MembTV at the end of KotD2-related streams.
      
      
   6. Players paying to broadcast their point of view must add an extra 8 minutes delay to their stream.

This is not an invitation for more debate on the subject. If you have questions or feedback regarding streaming, please use the dedicated threads for this. [/td]
