To register
To register, enter your Games for Windows Live username, as well as your Steam contact details. As with past tournaments, an official Steam group will be set up to organize matches. To register and play in the June tournament, you must have a valid, unbanned GameReplays.org account, Steam account, and GFWL account.
Match Results
It is up to the winner to post the match replay for the outcome of the match. All matches must be uploaded to GameReplays' replay portal. A new game event called "June Tournament 2010" will be created for uploading replays from this tournament for easy sorting.
If a player drops out of the match, Referees will determine the match's results, and the replay will still need to be posted.
Rules
Drops/Disconnects: If a player should - for whatever reason - drop or disconnect during a match, the result of the match may be arbitrated by tournament moderators pending review of the replay. It may be arbitrated as a loss for the dropping player or potentially a win if it is obvious they had an irrecoverable lead late into the game. It may also be asked that the match be replayed. If the opposing team volunteers in goodwill to replay the match, the match may be replayed. If your opponent drops: take a screenshot showing that they dropped from the match, then save the replay and get both to a tournament organizer immediately.
Sportsmanship: You will respect your opponents, the tournament organizers and anyone else involved in the tournament at all times. Trash-talking and verbal abuse in game will not be tolerated and will result in a disqualification. If your opponents are being abusive during a match, again take a screenshot of the abusive language in chat. Do not stop playing the match. Play the entire match out and then bring the conduct of the offending player(s) to the attention of a tournament moderator after the match. At the discretion of the tournament mod, the player(s) may be disqualified if their behavior was inappropriate but please remember that this is for us to judge. Do not assume they will be disqualified: take a screen shot of the offense and then continue to play all matches fully.
Any player being similarly offensive in any of the chat lobbies will also be disqualified from the tournament.
Bans: There are currently no banned exploits or glitches. If there is one that is easily abusable and can be proven in a replay, send a private message to Ninjabutter, Alxander, or blaqk as soon as possible and we will take it under discussion.
Rulings and Rule changes: The rules of the tournament are subject to change up until the day of the tournament itself. If an unforeseen circumstances arise during the tournament and a new ruling must be made, it will be made by a tournament moderator at that point in time. If you have an issue with something that happens during the tournament, you may address it to tournament moderators.
Please note that the rulings of tournament moderators are final. Our decisions cannot be appealed and complaining persistently over a ruling may result in a disqualification and potential exclusion from future tournaments. Please understand we will do everything within our power to make our judgment calls as fair as possible but questioning our authority will not help your case or be tolerated and serves only to further delay the tournament.
If you have any further questions or suggestions, feel free to post them in this thread for clarification. One of the section administrators or Tournament Moderators will answer you as soon as possible.
