DEADLINES OR FINDING CONTACT
For every group of 4 teams I'll give every team a few weeks to finish all their 3 matches. It's up to you guys to set a date with your opponents as soon as possible. I'll give every team a list of IM or emails to get in contact and it's always possible to arrange it through me if things don't go as smoothly.
WHAT IF MY OPPONENT DOESN'T SHOW UP OR IS TOO LATE?
The only thing I can ask people is to have patience and respect for your opponents. It's hard to set strict rules and me as a hoster of this tournament hope to get as many matches played as possible! I'll give every group enough freedom and time to get their matches settled in time and I hope it pays out. I do have to draw some lines and I hope this clears it a bit up. Every team will get two chances to set a date or show up on the agreed time, otherwise the other team will get the points. Please make screenshots of emails, messages ingame or steam/skype to confirm your own side of the story. I will personally check into each case and I will decide what's the best solution.
WHAT IF MY OPPONENT LEAVES DURING THE GAME?
It's very important to make a screenshot of the scoreboard and console right away after this happens. It helps you to back up your side of the story. Quitting for no reason will instantly result in a loss. If it was just a connection issue the game can be continued where it left off at another time, if it happens a second time the other team wins no matter what score. I can't say it enough, make screenshots!
FINDING OR USING A SERVER
Matches will be played on ER or Zaphirs. You can hire a server if you contact me in time, then I'll make one available to you. It's also possible to play on another chosen server if both teams agree, otherwise it'll be played on trusted servers I just mentioned. There are a few rules a server has to be obliged to:
1) CoAdminZ, 1.09 or any other anticheat must be running.
2) Spectators only allowed if both teams agree.
3) Gamepassword or Maxplayers must be set.
4) No adminlogin during the match.
5) Runes are not enabled, so run a No Runes mutator or anything similar.
6) Weaponstay is enabled.
7) Autopickup is disabled.
8) Normal gamespeed.
Anything considered as not normal won't be allowed. Every match that didn't get finished or got corrupted because of some miscommunication or abuse of the server-rules will be considered unfinished and must be played again. So be warned! If you still have questions about these rules please let me know and I'll clear them up for you.
MAPLISTS
These are the maps you are allowed to play, other maps are only allowed if both teams agree to it.
*DM-Bothvar
*DM-Fentox
*DM-Hudson
*DM-Hildir
*DM-Misbegotten
*DM-Ostara
MATCH INFORMATION
Every match will have a few settings that needs to be set. Here are the requirements:
1) 2 maps will be played every match, both teams decide one map from the maplist.
2) Timelimit will be 20 for each match, no fraglimit.
3) The team that has the best total positive score out of both maps, wins.
4) If the score is equal after two games, teams will play one last game in DM-Hildir with 15 minutes timelimit.
Points
During the groups you can only get points by winning games, you get 1 point for each win. If there is a draw in points that prevents 1 or 2 teams from continuing to the next round the individual result will count. To make it a bit more clear, the mutual result between those two teams will decide who will go to the next rond. After the group is finished the number 1 and 2 will advance to the next round. Number 1 will compete against the number 2 of another group and vise versa.

I will listen and change the rules if people make good points. Keep in mind that I made these rules based on what I think that's best, don't hesitate to give advice because I feel it should be a call everyone has a little bit to say in.
