You need to be ranked for any race that you wish to play in the tournament. If you were placed two or more leagues above the highest league allowed in the tournament you want to play in, you are not allowed to play that tournament. Private Messages Blocking - Some players use the feature that disallows other people to send them a private message unless they're on the Friends list. Please make sure you turn this off before the tournament begins to enable admins and your opponents to contact you. Match Beginning – After the tournament begins, players will continue playing rounds as the bracket updates. If your opponent does not show up or is unresponsive, please report him to an admin and wait for 10 minutes. If he fails to respond after this period of time, he will then be disqualified. However, if you are chosen to be shown on stream, please wait with your game until the casters are ready. Observers – SCVRush would prefer that players watch our stream www.twitch.tv/scvrush1 rather than stream themselves. If you do wish to stream, please make sure you have at least 3 minutes of delay. Games chosen for streaming on the main stream must delay their match till the streamers arrive. Disconnects - If a player disconnects the game will be continued using the "Resume from replay" option in the game. If the disconnecting player does not return after 10 minutes, they may forfeit the match. Players seen watching replays while waiting for another player to return will forfeit that match. Stalemates & Ties - In the event of a stalemate, the game will be replayed. The game can be tied by both player agreeing to a tie in chat, or the in-game stalemate timer. Manner – Be polite to everyone around you - use common sense to determine what you should or should not say. Cheating - Do not attempt to stream cheat, maphack or use any other method of gaining an unfair advantage. Opponent Accusations - Most of our tournaments are skill limited and therefore there is a possibility of smurfing. Please contact an admin if your opponent’s account seems suspicious. However, please do not publicly blame other players for smurfing in chat. Rule Of Common Sense - SCVRush uses your ladder rank to determine your skill level. Please do not try to reduce your ladder rank to smurf in lower league tournaments. If your account shows signs of tampering (such as intentionally leaving games) you may be disqualified. Also, we ask every player to play at least 10 games per week to keep their rank up to date. No Laddering During Tournaments - If you choose to ladder during a tournament, this is at your own risk - if your next game is ready, you must end your ladder game immediately to play. Please make sure you are able to receive messages. 6th: Miscellaneous: Random matches throughout the tournament, as well as the finals, will be casted on our stream. We do not guarantee that you will be casted but we will try our best to cast as many as time allows.
