Rules

 * Teams will have one week to complete their matches, please do your best to schedule your games and make everyone aware (especially Andeh) as the community will want to watch these games.


 * Teams will play their top 3 players (captain, number 1 & 2 picks) at all times, and are required to cycle their 5th round picks in place of the 4th round player for at minimum ONE map of the regular season three map games. This only applies IF both teams have their 5th round players available. Beyond that, it is up to the captains discretion/choice who will play.

Ping Rules
To simplify ping rules and hopefully establish a more fair playing field across the board, pings will be handled as followed:


 * Minimum ping of 50 for all players


 * Games against Yeti's team will be played in southern LA (Dusty's LA if teams can not agree on a specific west server).


 * Games without Yeti, the default server location is Dallas (Rusty's Dallas if teams cannot agree on a specific central server). If BOTH teams agree there is a better server location (ie: Chicago, IOWA, NJ, etc) the games may be played here.

Interrupted Matches
Members from each team should 'elect', should one of your players drop/disconnect it is your responsibility to take note and pause the game immediately. Maps will not be 'restarted' as a result of a player dropping/timing out. The onus is on each team to elect to ensure they may pause quickly should a player encounter issues.

Fuck Shack group of servers with the newest 1.4 beta KTX will have the "pause" function enabled IF you remember to set matchtag

Additional Notes
As always, no cheating/non-sense. Intentionally skirting the rules to exploit something will not be tolerated. In times of disagreement between captains, tournament organizers have final say and may bring in an impartial 3rd party if they deem it necessary.
