6. Rules

6.1 Tournament structure

This tournament will be played in "each against each" mode (unless a suitable KO-system is working), which means that each of the N teams will play once against each other team.

Winning one out of 3 games gives 1-0 points into game points column, so in a match where one team wins all 3 games, this team gets 3-0 game points. A draw gives 1-1 game points.

Winning a whole match gives 3 points into points column, a draw gives 1 and a loss 0. In the end, the team with most points wins, if there are teams with the same number of points, game points decide.

6.2 Match structure

Every match consists of 3 games, each played with 7 minutes time limit:

• Game 1 on Icy Soccer Field
• Game 2 on a field chosen by the red team
• Game 3 on a field chosen by the blue team

Before the tournament starts, an addon folder will be linked on the website. The addon folder consists of the 3 most selected addons in the registration form, Wood Warbler Soccer, and 2 randomly selected addons (selection probabilities weighted by votes). Wood-Warbler-Soccer and 4 of the 5 additional addons are required to play the tournament games.

6.3 Substitutions

A missing player can be replaced by a substitute if both players have comparable skills in the position-based ranking. This includes the average z-position, the goal rate and the ball possession. The substitute with the smallest root-mean-squared deviation from the missing player is preferred to take.

In case that the goal rate of the substitute is stronger than the missing player, the substitute has to take a medium kart (e.g. Tux). If the goal rate is more than 1 goal larger, the substitute has to play with a heavy kart (e.g. Pidgin).

If a player disconnects during the running game, the game is NOT stopped. If he doesnt come back after 30 seconds, any available substitute can join the game with Pidgin. If no substitute joins until one minute after, the player "SuperTournament" (sponsored by the organization team) will join with bird if available. There is no warranty to get any substitute during the game.

If not enough matching substitutes are found, the game can also be played as 2 vs 2.

6.4 Referee

Every match should have at least one referee who e.g. decides what happens in critical situations. To be referee, tell organizers.
Commands for referees:

• /game X Y : Starts game number X with Y minutes.
• /setkart kart-id player : Give players a particular kart (punishment or balance).
• /lobby : To make players go to lobby.
• /yellow P R : Gives a yellow card to player P with reason R.
• /referee and /video : Update the match details on wiki.

Also the referee should follow the following guidelines:

• The match starts at the match time written in the match plan. If players come late, the referee is supposed to find suitable substitutes or start a match as 2vs2. If this is not possible, the referee has the option to wait for the delayed players (in case other players agree) or to reschedule the match.
• The game is never stopped, let the ball roll! Only exception are addon bugs which make the ball unreachable (/lobby command is used then).
• A player coming late or rejoining after disconnection should join the game immediately. The substitute is then forced to go back to lobby.
• If the number of players is incomplete after loading a map, the referee should use the lobby command immediately to restart the match.

6.5 Punishments

Referees can give yellow cards to misbehaving players:

• If a player comes more than 5 minutes too late to a match.
• If a player keeps insulting other players.
• If a player does gamethrowing, such as leaving the game without reason or purposely playing against their own team.

Note that the referee will always warn the misbehaving player before giving a yellow card.

• Two yellow cards mean that the player has to play the next game with Tux.
• The third yellow card means that the next game has to be played with Gnu.
• The fourth yellow card means that the next game has to be played with Pidgin.
• After five yellow cards the player misses the next match and is not substituted.

In case someone keeps misbehaving seriously, organizers have the right to show a red card to this player which means disqualifying them from the tournament.

If a player doesnt show up at matches and ignoring messages of organizers after or seems inactive/unreliable, the player can be forced to be subsitute and replaced through a former substitute which promotes to a player. This action is only taken by organizers and mostly in the first matches.

6.6 Alternative Accounts

It is not intended to play in the tournament with more than one account, even if it is not explicitly forbidden. Alternative accounts have to differ from the main account at least by the choise of kart. The alt should have a representable ranking of at least 20 games, played on Rocker Large/Medium with the preferred kart for the tournament. This is required to give other tournament players the possibilty to get reliable and transparent information on the player's skill.
