[Maynarde]

Hello Tier 5

We had a few bumps but overall I'd say the first week a pretty good success, congratulations to all the teams that won and good work to every single player

One of the major bumps we had tonight I'd like to rectify by leaving some guidelines for organizing your game, and I would LOVE for there to be no discussion in response about who was right or wrong between the teams or players tonight. The only response (if any) should be "YES MAYNARDE" or something along those lines.

PLAYERS

1. Know your opponent and map BEFORE the play time.
It's your team managers responsibility to organize the time you play, it's YOUR responsibility to know what map you're on and your opponents name. Please register player names as their Battle.net names instead of forum handles to avoid confusion.

2. Contact your opponent
Start by asking in the chat room (SEALTIER5), if there's no response SEARCH in the list to see if your opponent is in the chatroom. If he/she is there, private message. If not, contact their TEAM MANAGER. The managers skypes and names are in the thread.

3. It's past walk over time (10 minutes), my opponent is nowhere to be found and the manager doesn't know where he/she is, what do I do?
Contact either ChadMann or myself, and we will try to organize or reschedule your game first. This is because the point of Tier 5 is to PLAY GAMES and IMPROVE. If that isn't a possibility we will award the walk over.

TEAM MANAGERS

1. Get players to CONFIRM attendance
Keep regular contact with your players, it would suck to have to keep using subs because of non-dedicated individuals. There are always going to be unforeseen circumstances which are understandable, otherwise you shouldn't accept "whoops" from your players for mass no shows.

2. Plan your play time well ahead of schedule
It's a really good idea to contact your opponent team's manager ASAP. You have the fixture and all their details in this thread so it shouldn't be hard. Tell an admin (ChadMann or myself) IMMEDIATELY if you need to organize a new time, and work it out with the other team manager. If there's no word from either team manager, we assume it's the default time of 9pm AEDT Thursday and will rule accordingly for walk overs etc.

3. Keep your cool
We get that you love your team, you're passionate about their success and future. YOU HAVE TO BE! But keep your head when there's issues, especially with admins and other team leaders. Bad manner isn't accepted in this league by players OR team leaders.

Hopefully these few guidelines help out, I'm not the kind of guy that points fingers or names names because it serves no purpose but this is purely meant to help those who may be new to this or haven't quite caught on with the spirit of Tier 5. We're all here to have fun and improve together, so let's have a smooth and awesome season!
