Match Reporting

On Step 2, chose names of participating clans and enter which side they played on. If the match only has 2 sides you shouldn''''''''t have a Team 3 selected. If the match does involve 3 teams then you will have players for Team 1, Team 2, and Team 3. Enter in whether the game was played on the original Empire at War or the Empire at War: FoC expansion (Note: This is required). In the Comment box add friendly comments if desired. If you are playing on the original game and are submitting the second game of the match you must state that you are doing so as well as give the game number of the first reported half.

All players on a team will receive the same amount of points for the Mines/Station they destroyed.

Mines are worth 1 point each.

Destroying a space station is worth 6 points regardless of station level.

For the time category the time found in the upper right corner of the score page. Times are to be recorded with a decimal between minutes and seconds and cannot be reported as more then 60.00 minutes. Examples: The time 00:35:24 is reported as 35.24 and the time 01:12:54 is reported as 60.00

When submitting a match the members of the winning team receive a one (1) in the win column while the losing team receives a zero (0).

All matches must be submitted within 24 hours of being played.

Teams NOT reporting a game are REQUIRED to send the total points their team earned or the screen shot of their total points to the Reporting player. If the team NOT reporting does not get a screen shot of thier total points then the team who IS reporting may use the reporter''''''''s personal losses as the opponents total points.

When reporting a game that is the second half to a match played earlier in the event submitters are required to put “2nd half to match ##” (replacing “##” with the game number of the 1st half of the match).

If a the 2nd half of a match hasn’t been played (due to one team refusing to play, members of one team not getting online, etc) when the end of the event is nearing, members of the team that was available to play may submit the match as a forfeit in accordance with the forfeit rules below. If the match is a 1v1 this rule does not apply.

Forfeit Reporting

A forfeit cannot be deemed unless the situation is brought before a moderator or game director of Ecliptical Realms. A forfeit when all the players of one team leave the server after the Space Station level 2 mark will continue to be played until the game is finished. In the case that members of opposing teams can not connect to each other and replacements can not be found the match can be thrown out (this rule is void if teams have already played as one faction). Teams that are deemed in forfeiture will receive the following: 0 Points

Teams that are the victims of forfeiture will received the following: 20 Points

Each of these are to be reported for each team on each side in the match.
