The following rule changes have been put in place to resolve issues from previous events, which have caused numerious problems. Unfortunately based on a few people not following the rules or commons sense we have been forced to tighten controls of a few aspects of our events.

To resolve people not playing the same map twice, IE not playing Trando, leaving after agreeing to two, subsituting players unfairly. The following has been added/changed:

d) Match Settings:

1. All "matches" are 1 map played two times with teams changing sides between rounds.
Each round gets reported by the winner of that round.
Do not agree to a match if you do not have time to play 2 rounds.

2. Teams are required to use the EXACT same "roster" in each round, no substitutions (NO EXCEPTIONS).
If a player from round 1 does is not able to play in round 2 they receive a score of "0" for each of their stats during round 2, AND their team will play down a player(s) for that round.

If there are no members of the opposing team are available for round 2 available, a forfeit may be reported (provided you list round 1 match in the notes).
Failure to list the round 1 match number in the notes will cause the match to be deleted immediately.

3. Rosters should discussed if only to verify ER membership status, before the battle starts and host launches game.

If this agreement is made in the Battleroom then it must be saved by members of both clans and shown in cases of dispute.

***************************

The following rule change has been made to address people not playing on other teams servers after agreeing to:

e) Hosting:
Fairness to all players is priority. Each team should agree upon who is hosting, if server location is issue they should agree on hosting by round is both teams can host, or play on a neutral third party server (neutral for ping). If there is a screenshot'd agreement to split hosting either by round or between matches and the other team backs out, forward this to a moderator along with the match numbers involved.

********************************

To deal with people abusing the Nonlisted member and submitting numerious matches against players that are unknown to ER. The following rule change has been made. The majority of this is as it was, however now the responsibility for getting the person registered now lies with the MATCH Reporter. It is important to note that the rules have always said VERIFY ER Registration and Club Affiliation prior playing someone.

c) Membership:
Clan and player membership should be verified prior to each battle event. ER names must match in-game names.

3) Unregistered Players:
Players affiliation and ER status should be verified by both teams prior to the event.

If you play in a match with a player who is unregistered please use the follow guidelines:
-Take a Screen shot
-Contact the player (Battle Room, XFIRE, fellow clan member)

If you are able to get in touch with them:
Ask them to send an affiliation request to their club using:
http://www.eclipticalrealms.com/wargames/club-affiliations.asp

If you are unable to get in touch with them:
You can submit the match using the player not on roster name.
All matches submitted using this feature will be reviewed by the moderators.
All matches submitted using this feature must list players name and club in match notes, if they do not they will be deleted immediately.

The Captains will receive a PM with that match number indicating that a match with an unlisted player has been reported against their club.

The Match Submitter will have 48 to get the person registered for the event and on their clubs roster or the match will be deleted.

Anyone found abusing the "player not on roster feature will be removed the tourney IMMEDIATELY and may eb removed from further tourneys.

**********************************

I'd would also like to remind everyone of the following rules which have been around for quite some time.

All competitors will respect the rules and each other. Abusive language under any circumstance will result in removal from the event. If reporting someone for violating this rule you must have a screen shot.

Player Disconnects During Game Event
If a player disconnects from the game, it will be the player’s responsibility to reconnect to the game as fast as possible. Players returning will contribute to their team score. If the player does not return this person will still be recorded when game results are submitted, with all Zeros (0s).

d) Weapon Spawning and Flag running with weapons:
The use of any commands to allow yourself or teammates to spawn weapons, shoot with the flag or even run with the flag (with a weapon out)is considered cheating and is FORBIDDEN. Use of any of these is not appropriate during match play. Anyone found to doing this will be removed from the event. If reporting someone for violating this rule you must have a screen shot. If this happens the match should continue to its completion, the match should be reported, the offense documented, and the incident reported to the ER moderators.

b) Spectators:
No in-game spectators are permitted at all. X-Fire must be turned off for all competitors to ensure nobody joins by accident.
