It is forbidden to have more than two Kamaels in the party.
7. Fights
All tournament fights will be held up to 2 wins (Best of 3 \ Bo3);
Final - up to 3 wins (Best of 5 \ Bo5);
Depending on the number of groups of participants, the system of Double Elimination or the classic playoff fights may be used;
All tournament fights will be held at the Event Match system;
All battles in the tournament will be held in various pre-selected arenas;
Choosing of the arena is carried out immediately before the fight with the help of a random (generates program). This will be shown during the live broadcast of the tournament.
8. How the fight will be conducted
Participants of the fight will be given time to prepare and receive a buff. (Command: "BUFF UP");
After PL's notify the GM about the readiness ("READY?"), the party is being blocked. This means, it will be impossible to invite/expel. (This is one of the features of the event match system). This is the extreme point when the PL may ask GM to delay the start of the fight. After the PL announces the readiness of the party, the fight will no longer be stopped;
After this, there will be a command to give dance/song (Command: "DS UP!");
During dance/song receiving, the GM will give the off-party buffs selected by PL's;
After that, the 5 sec countdown to the beginning of the fight will be given.
9. Arenas
[spoiler=List of arenas]
10. Possible problems and solutions.
PL has the right to notify the GM about the unforeseen problem BEFORE he confirmed readiness (after the command READY?). After the beginning of the countdown, the group is obligated to finish the match untill the end. After that, depending on the situation, the fight can be replayed by agreement of both sides or by the decision of GM (but not more than 2 times).
11. Disqualifications
Using of PvP software is prohibited and will be punished by disqualification from the tournament;
There are 2 ways to prove and/or dispute the presence/absence of prohibited software:
Provide video evidence (fraps) on behalf of the group against which the prohibited software was used;
Provide video evidence (fraps) on behalf of the group that was accused of using prohibited software;
If there is no video evidence, the decision will be made by the GM, and it cannot be appealed (because of lack of evidence from the party).
[*]If the group is not ready to fight (for example, one participant has lost the Internet), the Leader has no more than 15 minutes to solve the problem (to find a new member or any necessary actions to start the fight):
The group can start the fight with a smaller number of participants (optional);
If, after 15 minutes, the group is not ready to start a fight, it will be counted as a technical defeat in this fight.
[*]Violation of the rules by one member of the group leads to the disqualification of the whole team;
[*]For violation of one of the rules, the group may receive a warning or disqualification (depending on the severity of the violation):
The group can receive no more than 2 warnings;
2 warnings (second warning) leads to automatic disqualification.
[*]GM (at his discretion) may decide on matters not described in the rules (for example, punish for disrespectful behavior):
Decisions are made collectively (by a group of administrators) and are not subject to appeal.
