TOURNAMENT PROCEDURES
CHECK-IN: There is no limit to the maximum amount of players. Only players who check-in in the 30 minutes check-in period before the event starts will be able to participate!
MAP POOL: On rounds where it says "Map Vote" you will use the following maps to determine, together with your opponent, the map that will be played. Just open a chat with your opponent and take turns vetoing (voting down, eliminating) until there is just one map left. Not playing on the correct version of the map may result in a re-game or disqualification of both players. The decision belongs to the admin.
Any ESL, GSL or MLG version of the following maps: Antiga Shipyard Bel’Shir Beach (winter) Daybreak Metropolis Shakuras Plateau Tal’darim Altar LE Cloud Kingdom
REPORTING MATCH RESULTS: After the match has been played, you must report the result by clicking on your name in the brackets. This will open up the Report Match Result page, where you can report your score and upload your replays. Uploading your replays is required to report successfully. For BO3 matches, if it finishes 2-0, then the 3rd game has to be reported as "Did not need to be played".
CLAIMING A PRIZE In order to claim your prize, you must register an account at PokerStrategy.com. Prizes will be deposited directly into that account and you can decide how you want to withdraw it from there. The procedure is fast, simple and will allow you to receive your money quickly. You will be contacted by a Z33K admin with detailed instructions on how to register to receive the prize.
RULES: Disruptive behavior or a failure to follow the rules listed below will result in disqualification. - You have to play the race and Battle.net ID that you signed up with. - You must contact your opponent on IRC or Battle.net to play your match. - For Best of 1 Matches, the game must be played on the map listed on the tournament or brackets page. - For Best of 3 Matches (or more), the first game is decided through a MAP VOTE process. After the first game, the loser picks a map from the Map Pool listed above. Each map can be played on only once in a match. - You have 15 minutes to start your match; anybody that is not present after 15 minutes will get a disqualification. Contact an admin if you are unable to play. - Spectators: only allowed in-game if both players agree. Those listed as tournament admins can always join any game they wish to. Those who are listed as one of the official livestreams are always allowed to stream your game. When in doubt, check the top of this page. - Bad manners: BM is not tolerated. Continuous bm, racism, threats or other sorts of bad behaviour can result in disqualification and a ban. - Disconnects: If the player who is winning disconnects, it is a re-game. If the player who is losing disconnects, it is a win for the player who is winning. If it is too close to call it is a re-game. It will have to be very clear who was winning and who was losing, otherwise the admin will normally be on the side of caution and have a re-game done. Any decisions as to who was winning and who was losing are made by one of the admins listed. - Pauses: to allow his opponent to know he will pause the game, the player who wishes to do so, must type in any number of 'p'. This pauses should not exceed 5 min total and can be done just 2 times per game. Any abuse will result in disqualification.
