Format
S1R1, S1R2,.. S1R7 - Single elimination BO3, including the finals. Winner will receive at least $100. The winner of each round cannot participate in any subsequent rounds. Instead, he should prepare well for the finals. After the seventh round, a public vote will be run to choose the top 3/4 players and give them a chance to compete in a deciding round for a final spot. The decider will be a full double BO3, including the final match. There is no minimal prize pool for the decider. It may happen that the winner of the decider will get nothing, but a spot in the finals.
The final round will be a full double BO3 with a BO5 winner match. The guaranteed finals prize pool is $1,000 and will be split into 60%, 30% and 10% for first, second and third place respectively.
Prize Pool
GoodGame.ru tournament module allows any individual to make a contribution to the prize pool. Rus_Brain guarantees the minimum prize pool, but the community is encouraged to donate. GoodGame.ru is eligible for pay-outs. Guidelines on how to donate can be found here.
Map Pool
Current Battle.net ladder map pool, even if it will be changed one hour prior to the start of the tournament. The first map will be pre-determined, and the loser may pick any map out of the remaining un-played ones.
Race Pick
Race picking and playing random are allowed, however, the player should announce his race at the start of each game. You are not allowed to play as zerg in the first game then switch to terran in the second one, except if you are playing random.
Lag
Low latency turn rate 16 is recommended, although players are allowed to change the settings for better control, or better connection. In the case of unplayable lag, the administrator will determine the winner (according to classified administrating guidelines).
Fair Play
It is assumed that the StarCraft: Remastered community is old enough to distinguish between fair play, abuse and blatant cheating. Maphacks or bot-assisted micro tools are blatantly illegal. Allied mines and flying ground unit bugs will not be tolerated! Hold lurkers and observers on top of turrets are allowed. Unfair play will result in severe penalties!
Limits of Authority
The host's rights are unlimited.
This tournament is hosted for hundreds of players and thousands of stream viewers. A single person's urge for "justice" will likely be disregarded. Although one may try to convince the tournament host to make a "fair" decision, one should also consider the risk of being disqualified for "excessive discussions". This tournament is hosted by Russians, who lack such things as free speech, democracy and human rights.
Tournament Host
GoodGame.ru reserves the right to determine a tournament host for each round. You will be informed in every single round.
Streams
GoodGame.ru reserves the right to admit the official stream casters. If you want to receive admission, please contact GoodGame.ru. You will get the timeout (stream delay) and other instructions. Each player must accept and allow the stream caster to observe their game upon request.
