This topic is made so the community can discuss what rules are to be used and how we should make the tournament.
I want to mention that, all things that are related to tiberian dawn in the text will be adjusted to match Red Alert instead. ( I copied the sett up from Tiberian dawn to save my self some time)
Discuss the rules, the maps, etc. I will edit this topic as we discuss

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.
Communications during the tournament During the tournament, you may need to get in contact with other players or the referees.

A bit foggy on this one. I am not sure what you meant with stream their own games or while watching others playing.

-No turkey faction -No placing silos in unreachable positions -If there's a seeding system, lower seed hosts first and gets to pick spot (assuming first map is picked by map elim). When series starts, the loser of each game hosts next match and picks map and spot
As far as map pool goes, I know there's a few maps outside of regular QM pool that the community might want to add. That would be best discussed in the discord
Remove this (replace with rules sheriff outlines or whatever the community is gonna actually use - be clear if specifying no silos what the definition of unreachable is, and if no turkey clarify why on the rules so people don't moan about it)
QUOTE
Special Rule #1 - No Engineers & Transport Unit Combinations Participants in this tournament must not use Engineers with Chinhooks/APCs. Participants may still build engineers and use them by walking around the map. If an engineer enters an APC or Chinhook the offending player will forfeit that match and the point for that round will go to the opponent.
Update the Maps & Spawns:
QUOTE
Map pool and Spawn positions
Map Pool
Green Acres - bottom left vs top right Monkey In The Middle - top left vs bottom right Heavy Metal - top left vs bottom right Quarry - only two spawn points Elevation - only two spawn points Tournament Middle Camp - only two spawn points Duality 3.6 - only two spawn points
Re check-in, you might just want to do this via a forum rather than getting PM's on discord yourself, but up to you.
QUOTE
Check-ins You must notify a referee of your intention to play a game at least 24 hrs in advance.
Re seeding, if its going to be shuffled this impacts the fairness/advantage given to players in terms of map choices/spawns as highlighted by Sheriff.

Something that came up during our current tourny was players being late, maybe outline if a player is 15minutes late to their per-arranged time they are elligible for disqualification to help deter that kind of behaviour.
