This is in regards to any tournaments organized by LucAA. Anyone is welcome to use this rule set, but it is by no means absolute and universally enforced.
I tried to bold everything that's fairly new.



Tournament Format:
Disqualification will result in a 3-0 win awarded to all opponents remaining in your group.
Forfeit or a proven dodge will result in a 3-0 win awarded to your opponent.
If neither participant made a decent effort to complete their duel, the match will be nulled.

1v1 tournaments will be two stage tournaments. The first stage will have a duration of 5 days maximum. It will be Round Robin format with 2 randomized groups, and 4 players advancing from each group. Both W/L and total match pts will be evaluated to determine final standings. In the event of a 2 way tie, the match between the two breaks the tie.
The final stage will be single elimination. Your standing with your group will determine your seeding for the final stage. There will be a match between semifinal losers for 3rd.

2v2 tournaments will be single stage tournaments. Random seeding single elimination bracket style competition. There will be a match between semifinal losers for 3rd. Match duration will be 2 days maximum.




Signup Format:

Example: LucAA / *LuCa / Tempo (Hdin, 1 pt FoH/HF/Conviction)

Character notes are optional for your signup, but if at any point someone might ask questions about your build or request you to show inventory you must oblige.



Results:
- In order to receive credit for a match, the winner of the match must post 2 screenshots.
- If these screenshots are not posted, in the correct manner, the match will either be nulled or the loser will be given the option to replay.
1. One screenshot showing left-click skills, with map and time shown.
2. One screenshot of message log showing at least 1 kill, with time shown.

- Towning or Teleporting passed Flavie and bridges in case of a bridge map results in a loss. (However, being pushed via KB mechanics is not, just come back out.)
- No consumables other than mana potions, arrows, and bolts.
