----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes:
It is allowed to have multiple tournament accounts, but it is strictly forbidden to have multiple accounts registered in same tournament. Tournament moderators/admins get automatically noticed of these actions and will take measures against it. Punishments aisle from tournaments account ban to tournaments ip ban, from 3 months to permanent. So, take care!
If somehow, two or more players would like to register from the same network, you must previously submit a request on the Tournaments forum (here (http://eurobattle.net/showthread.php?t=74794)). A tournament manager will analyze your request and schedule a time for a personal check. If you do so without a previous request, all accounts will be automatically unregistered from the tournament - continuous attempts will lead to a punishment.
In case of cheating, bad manners in the game, not listening the rules or not playing ( giving free win ), tour admins have the right to kick player from tournament / tournaments and ban him permanently / for a period of time from next tours.
An '@' before name means that the user got free win on the previous round. He will get win, but he's opponent, that gave free win, won't receive lose, but he'll be punished. If someone gives a free win on purpose, to not have lose, he will also be punished, and wont be able to play on the next tours for some months.
If an obs has the same IP as the player, he can't observe that game, 'cause if he does, that game must be remade.


----------------------------------------------
*Rules can be "edited" anytime by a tour admin.

- Now, be patient, a tournament moderator / admin will watch replay and forward the winner to the next round.

- You can't catch your opponent, what should you do?

Just go to the replay upload button, and you have there the tournament chat. Leave a message for your opponent, and tell him to come on server, so you can play your game. Moderators / admins can see the chat panel, and if your opponent didn't come or didn't leave a message, you will be forwarded to the next round, but with no win counted in profile.

- Forwarded players won't get win ( in profile ) for the game in which they got forwarded; wins / looses will be added only for games that will be played. Also, a player who will get disqualified or gets a bad point ( and his opponent gets forwarded ) won't get a tournament loose in profile.

- Players that were forwarded in a round, because their opponent didn't show up for game, will have the "@" sign before their name, in the tournament brackets.

Note : Disqualified players in a tournament will still receive wins in profile, for the wins that they achieved in the respective tournament.

- Tournaments will be forwarded to the next round when all games from a round are finished, or tie decided.

- All games are played in Bo1 mode ( Best of 1 => 1 game ), and finals in Bo3 mode for 16 slots tournament ( Best of 3 => 1 / 2 / 3 games ) or Bo5 for 32/64 slots tournament ( Best of 5 => 3 / 4 / 5 games ), where the looser side picks the next game map. Also, semifinals for 32/64 slots tournament are played Bo3.

- Tournament wins / looses will be added in user profiles at the end of a tournament, so PLEASE don't start creating threads about "I didn't get tournament win in my profile" / "my win(s) didn't count" etc, just be PATIENT.
