General Rules/Practices

Screenshots can be requested by Captains, Vice-Captains, VIP's and Admins. Failure to comply when asked to take one, failure to post on forums within 24 hours or a screenshot showing a breach of rules will incure points penalties and/or see the user banned form participating any further.
Server Mods have the right to use their powers at all times. Tournament adminisrators will look into and act harshly upon abuse of these powers.
Mesa2 and Hourglass2 are avaialble and suggested to use for an increased balance. Original maps will be provided for communities that wish to suffer playing a biased map.
Pointsfix will be enabled (on all servers).


Special Rules and Considerations

N00bless is exempt from playing Hourglass(2). This means under no circumstances are communities allowed to enforce Hourglass be played in a match against N00bless. They will simply refuse and it is their right to do just that.

Scheduling matches will generally be up to the Reps of each community. The admin team will provide opening and closing dates for each stage and other suggested schedules. It will be up to the matched teams to decide when they will play.

In terms of how Reps want handle the match ups, they are welcome to use official irc channels, these forums, or any other communication method.

Matches:
Three maps to be played each match.
The winner is the team to get the most map wins. Two wins out of three maps or better.
Matches require a minimum of 7 players. Games up to 20v20 may be played. The ideal would be between 10-15 players a side. Team sizes will change from game to game and it is up to the captains to agree on a team size before a match is played. A team showing with less than 7 players is liable to incur the Forfeit Rule penalty
Maps can be chosen prior to the game by the team Reps (they will be able to !setnextmap/!gameover). They can also play whatever maps come up at random.
Server rotations will include all standard maps (with the exceptions of Mesa2 and Hourglass2 replacing the originals).

Forfeit Rule:
A team that does not show up at a scheduled time is deemed to have forfeited that match. A replay may be scheduled if both teams agree; however, it is not required. If a match is scheduled and one team learns they will not make it, it is up to the opposing team to decide whether a time change will occur or a forfeit ensues.
Six points will be allocated (3/3 map wins) to the team that shows up to a match, when their opposition has forfeited.
The standard procedure for a forfeit occuring is for tournament admins to look into each case to ensure the penalty is justified.

Server Information - IRC:
Spoiler

We currently have two USA based servers dedicated to the RGCT2.
A Euro based server may become available as the tournament begins, updates on that will be provided.
Communties are required to use either server for official matches and are welcome to use them for practices (matches will be given priority naturally).

For now the irc/mod system will be:
- Tournament admins will have ~ or & and server admin/full mod ingame
- Team captains and vice captains will have @ and full mod ingame (will be required to !authenticate themselves from irc)
- % and half mods will be reserved as an extra level if needed
- Regulars will have + in irc, they will be limited to !pl and !gi. We dont want any interruptions via !page/!msg

IRC Details:
The server is located at irc.exoduscommunity.com
Channels are:
#RGCT2-Server1
#RGCT2-Server2
#RGCT2-Server3
#RGCT2 = the general lobby to chat or ask questions of tournament admins
The admin channels will be reserved for tournament administrators only. Full mods will be able to obtain any information they need from the public channels.
