The Draft

All players who wish to play must be signed up ahead of time, and must be check-in via IRC. Players who sign, and do not attend the Live Draft, will not be eligible to play!
The pre-selected captains will have voice (“+”) in the channel, and the channel will be moderated. Each captain will have setup their own IRC channel, and once selected by a captain, the player MUST go to that captain’s channel. Captains communicate with admins and schedule games with other captains.

Rules
The Tournament: The tournament will commence on 18:00 CEST, 16 April 2014.
The Format: This tournament will be a double elimination bracket, where each game is a best out of three. The Grand Finals will consist of two sets, each being a best out of three.
The format of this tournament will be 5v5, however, each team will also carry one substitutes, for a total of six players. Teams are encouraged to allow all players for a chance to compete, or and to remember that they can use their substitute player as a coach.
Map Selection: Teams will flip a coin-toss (/callvote random 2) for first pick, the loser will select the second map. For the third map, the team who selected the second map will drop the first map, and the team who picked the first map, will select the final map drop. So, (1) Pick, (2) Pick, (2) Drop, (1) Drop.
Servers: Teams are encouraged to play on a server that is best for the greatest amount of players, for example, if there are two teams that composed of six Europeans, and two North Americans, then it is strongly suggested that they play on a European server. However, teams are permitted to resolve these issues via alternative means, so long as both teams are both teams are agreeable.
All servers are to use NTF rules.
Cheating: All forms of cheating (aimhack, wallhack, aliasing) are prohibited, and will result in an immediate ban, and replacement.
Rule interpretation: Admins have final say over the interpretation of the rules, and can unilaterally enforce a course of action if it has not been explicitly covered in the rules.
