The map pool consists of 12 horrible maps.

I feel this section is necessary so people are aware of what is considered a cheese and what will earn them a penalty.

A cheese is any strategy that is not standard and has a high level or risk regardless of scouting. Usually this means an aggressive cheese of some description... for example: a 7 pool (heavy sacrifice of economy), Proxy Gateways (no defence at home, sacrifice tech, will likely lose these buildings if the cheese fails), DT Rush (heavy tech investment, will not have much defence until the DTs are on the field).

Economic cheese can occur as well but it's risky and harder to differentiate between standard play. For instance a fast Nexus can be standard... but an early 3rd base is very risky. Alternatively a hidden expansion is risky too because it's hard to defend both your main base and your hidden base. More importantly, most cheese will be the aggressive sort and an economic cheese will often lose to the aggressive alternative.

Be warned, if a referee thinks your "cheese" is standard play you will get a penalty anyway.
