1.4 MATCH PROCEDURES:


Matches are played according to the tournament structure and the schedule provided by the tournament officials.

Participants are encouraged to keep themselves informed about the schedule in order to avoid any delay or default loss. A team receives a def win in the case of their opponents not showing up in 20 minutes after the scheduled time.


• Only teams who has ALL 5 members joined in the game hosted by an admin are considered to have “arrived”
• A team can claim for a win for the first game if the opponent team doesn't arrive 20 minutes after the scheduled time.
• If both teams do not arrive by the 20th min mark, the game will be automatically ruled as 1-1. Default time rating granted.
• Teams that defaulted the match in such a manner for 3 matches will be deemed as forfeit the whole tournament. Forfeiture of the tournament rules applies.
• Take a screenshot and contact an admin in that case.


Forfeiture of the season

As ADC is moving on to a league concept with Time Rating taken into account, the admin team insists ALL games must be played. In the event a team forfeits the season, the following will happen:

1. All records of games played by the team will be deemed as non-played. This will result in the removal of all time ratings earned and lost by all 36 teams from all matches against the forfeited team.
2. Removal of the team from the tournament table.




- Rolling: The following procedure must be applied in order to decide 1st-pick and game side: the match will begin with a rolling (-roll in game) and winner of the rolling will get to choose: (a) Sentinel/Scourge side of the map or (b) First hero selection from drafting (both bans and picks)
If the teams don't care about the side, they may leave the draft start to random.
If the teams rolled for the start, then type -cm1 for Sentinel start or -cm2 for Scourge start depending on which side should start the draft. If it's a BO3 or BO5 game, then -roll in the first game, while in the next games the teams swap sides and draft-start every time a new game is to be played.


1.5 TEAMS AND PLAYERS:

Each team must have a team captain who has to introduce himself to tournament admins, he will be the main reference for any issues may arise.
If the team captain changes the admin team has to be informed immediately.

An active player is bound to one team throughout the whole tournament period. Playing for multiple teams in the same tournament may result in the disqualification of involved teams. Further, a Team Warning will be issued to all involved teams in which 3 warnings will result in the disqualification of the entire team from the current season of the tournament.

Each team's roster will consist of 5 members. All 5 members' accounts will be given to premium membership and changed to represent their team.


A team that plays with a non-registered or non-approved player will have a default loss for every game where that player participated.
