You must contact your opponent either via pm or the sc2seaopen chat channel.
After the tournament start, you have 15 minutes to start your matches, if your opponent cannot be contacted after 10 minutes, he/she will be disqualified and a backup player will fill the spot. If a player cannot be found, you will advance into the next round.
Casters, myself and tournament admins are always allowed to spectate games, and are the only permitted specators, no exceptions.
You may switch races between the beginning of the tournament and the RO16. From the quarter finals onwards, switching of race is not permitted.
Problems/Questions: Contact an admin for any questions or problems. If it is in-game related i.e: potential smurfing or hacking, contact us asap and upload your replay of your game for myself and casters to review.
Post-Match report: report any results to me via PM
Disconnects: If your opponent dc'es you must replay your match. If he dc'es a second time, you will be awarded a free win (1 game, not a whole series eg: semi-finals). A free win my also be awarded if your opponent was at a severe disadvantage at the time of disconnection. PM an admin if you're not sure.
Pauses: you may pause during a game, with a maximum time of 5 minutes. You must let your opponent know that you're pausing, and excessive pausing will result in an instant DQ.
Bad Manner: 1st instance will be a warning. Any further BM will be an instant disqualification. Any comments which are deemed by the admins as racist, hateful, or excessively derogatory will lead to an instant disqualification and a ban from future opens hosted by myself. We're here to have fun, and it would be nice if we can keep it that way.
Replays: should be saved until at least the next tournament. If an admin asks for a replay and you are not able to supply a copy, you may be banned from future events hosted by me and any prizes won voided.
Hacking/Smurfing:This is purely for the entertainment of those competing and to give the Bronze/Silver players a chance for some decent practice against people of similar level. You must play on your own account. Anyone caught smurfing (using a bronze/silver account to play when your play level is well above this level) will be banned from future events hosted by myself, and have their details reported to the sc2seaBSG host and the BSG smurfers thread. For everyone's sake, grow a pair and l2play at your own level. Hacking (stream cheating in this instance is hacking) in any instance (maphack, production tab/observer hacks etc,) will not be tolerated. Anyone caught hacking will be banned from future events hosted by myself, and will most likely be banned from any sc2sea events in the foreseeable future. You have been warned.
