Signing-up and checking in
You must be signed up by the time that sign-ups close (1 hour before the event is due to start). Once the sign-ups close, players have 45 minutes to check in for the event. We will make a separate forum topic for that purpose. You must check in. Players that have checked in will be added to the bracket, regardless of whether they are present when the event starts.
Please note commanders, letting someone else play in your name in an event is treated as cheating by gamereplays and will be punished accordingly. The fixed penalty for a first offence cheat conviction prescribed by the site rules is a 28 day suspension from gamereplays. The penalty for a second offence is a permanent ban. Don't do it!Gameplay

Not letting commentators or referees in may result in you getting disqualified from the tournament.Map pool

Result Reporting and Replays
After the winner of each round has been determined, it is the responsibility of the
winning team to report the victory to a referee and to post the result and the replay(s) in the specified results thread. Players may not proceed to play their next round unless and until the replays (both defeats and victories) from the previous rounds have been uploaded to gamereplays.org as directed by the tournament rules or staff.
Conduct at the Event
Players are expected to assist in the conduct of the event. Accordingly, conduct which tends to disrupt the event, including a failure to follow the instructions of the tournament manager or staff, interrupting or intervening in announcements made by the tournament staff or discourteous or disruptive conduct generally may result in forfeiture, sanction or disqualification from the tournament or future tournaments.
Players or individuals that disrupt or attempt to disrupt the event may be kicked off line and banned from return during the course of the event or future events. The decision of the tournament manager on all matters concerning the conduct and outcome of the tournament is final and not open to debate. Questioning any such decision is likely to be treated as disruptive conduct.
Delaying one's own defeat in a game where defeat is inevitable and there is no tactical advantage to the delay may be considered bad sportsmanship and treated as such.
Out-of-Sync (OOS) Errors
In case of a desync or out-of-sync error, the following policy applies: You must save the replay, and a tournament staff member will review the replay. If there is a clear winner, that team will advance. If not, the match will be replayed. The staff member's decision is final and non-negotiable, and failure to comply with the decision may jeopardize your eligibility for future tournaments. Repeated OOS errors in relation to a particular player/team may indicate abuse. Should this occur, the player/team in question may be disqualified and banned from future tournaments.
Quad turrets are allowed in tournament gameplay but they are know to cause the game to desync, if the game desyncs due to the effect of quad turrets the player who researched them will forfeit that game.
Cheating/Disconnecting/Dispute Resolution
All reports and issues will be resolved by the tournament manager and the referees. Cheating and intentional disconnecting will result in exclusion from the tournament and a ban from future tournaments hosted by GameReplays.org. Poor sportsmanship may also result in disqualification from the tournament.
Ladder Wars Tournament Rules
To the extent that these rules do not expressly provide otherwise, the
Ladder Wars Tournament Rules apply to this event.
Being Late
Players/teams that fail to check-in or that do not show up within 15 minutes of their allocated match time will be disqualified. At this point, an alternate player(s)/team may be allocated to their position, or the opponent will advance. Players are expected to continue playing until eliminated or until the end of the tournament is reached. Failure to play rounds in an expedient manner may result in disqualification.
