Scheduling
Once a round is announced, you will have
one week to complete your game. Please attempt to schedule a time to play your game with your opponent.
If after 72 hours (3 days) you have not been able to reach your opponent via PM, please post in the thread to notify the organizers of the situation.
If you cannot come to an agreement with your opponent on a time to schedule the game during that week, then please PM the organizers to let them know about the situation.
If a game is not completed on time and the tournament organizers are not notified of an issue, both players will be given a loss.
The tournament organizers reserve the right to manually set the pairings involving players with a history of either failing to schedule their games, or not showing up for scheduled game times. Such players will also not be given the benefit of the doubt should scheduling conflicts arise.
Reporting Game Results (and dropping out)
The winner of the game must use the game result form to report results. (This will be linked once the tournament begins.)
If you do not want to continue in the tournament into the next round, please PM an organizer to let them know.
Etiquette for watching games- Two players to a game. Only the opposing player may remind a player of optional powers or abilities.
- Only the tournament referees (Zettian Juggernaut, MegaSilver, weebaer, and Dysole) are authorized to make binding rulings. If no referee is present in a game, ask before offering your opinion.
- While some banter in the chat window is acceptable, this is subject to the approval of the players in the game. If either of the players are unhappy with the comments, please stay quiet. Tread lightly when it comes to heckling players you don't know, or newer players.
- For off-topic side discussions with other viewers, use the chat function in the google document, rather than clogging up the official chat window.
Disputes
The tournament referees are dok, Zettian Juggernaut, MegaSilver, weebaer, and Dysole. These players may make rulings on in-game disputes (line of sight, figures fitting on a space, dice rolled too soon/too late, etc) in games where they are not playing. If there is a dispute and one of these players is online, they may issue an on-the-spot ruling. If you have a dispute you cannot resolve, and none of the referees are present, you may stop the game and PM the tournament referees for a ruling.
NOTE: if a ruling is made late in the week and there is not enough time to schedule completion of the game, the tournament referees may issue a forfeit loss to the player who was ruled against.
