DotA Tournament Rules & Regulations.

Postby Crispz » Sun May 20, 2012 7:44 pm

Tournament Rules and Regulation

Warcraft III The Frozen Throne Version 1.24e
Map : 6.74c (the most stable map in getdota)
Mode : Captain mode (-CM)
Auto Ban Hero : N/A
Match Length: N/A

Concerns:

1) 1 or 2 observer(s) will be chose by tournament organizer to observe the game from being abused

2) In the case that both teams cannot decide upon a host they have to contact an organizer who will then force a host

3) Teams have the chance to choose their own side(Sentinel/Scourge). Scourge will be the 1st in Ban/Pick phase while Sentinel will be the 2nd in Ban/Pick phase. (In the case that both teams cannot decide, organizer have the right to choose for it.)

4) The mode will be Captain's Mode (The bot will automatically implement the code). The system for picks and bans will follow the standard -CM procedure


***Warning***
• If selection has not been made before the time-limit, a time-extension of 45 seconds will be allowed. After that the system will randomly choose the Hero.
• After Hero Drafting has started (the first Hero has been banned) the game must not be paused. Pausing can only be done after Drafting and only when both teams have consented.
• Mistake made during –CM mode cannot be undone (by use of Regame) if both teams have not consented.

POOLING ITEMS IS NOT ALLOW! (Buy items and give teammates to sell)

    Void Stone
    Magic Stick
    Magic Wand
    Empty Bottle

2A:
There are no item restrictions.

3A:
Creep Blocking and Base Entrance Blocking

• Creep blocking permanently is not allowed but creep slowing/delay or luring is allowed. It is not allowed to block creeps with the help of spells, such as fissure, sprout etc. it is only allowed to use the hero model to intercept with creeps (accidental blocks are okay, as long as the fissure - for example - was directed at an opposing hero).
• It’s not allowed to block the base entrance for defensive purpose with the help of spells, such as fissure.

4A:
Backdooring

• Backdooring the two outer towers of each lane is allowed. Backdooring inner towers (in base) and barracks are allowed.

5A:
Bugs Exploitation (Warning, Game Loss or Disqualification)

• No Exploitation of any known old or new bug discovered during game play. No excuses will be entertained. Ignorance is not an excuse. Participants/Teams are expected to know what these bugs are. Participants/teams that experience any abnormal game play are advised to inform the marshal on duty immediately.

6A.
Cheating (Disqualification)

• Any kind of cheat is strictly prohibited. Warkeys/Dotakeys are allowed.

7A.
Pause Game

• After each team have chosen their Hero, both team are not permitted to pause the game without the approval of the judge. Failure to comply will result in a warning at the minimum or loss by default for the offending player.
DISCONNECTIONS

8A:
Regaming/Restart
1.. Regaming at the request of a team or if a player has been disconnected can only be done under the following conditions.

• Disconnect before the first hero has been killed
• The same set of Heroes must be use. In case of substitution, the other players are not allowed to change Hero.
• The Hero in the Lane for the start of the game must not change.
• Item purchased by each player must not change.

9A:
Game saving and/or game loading must be approved by the observing judge first. The game must be paused before saving. Game Saving process is as follows:

• After First Blood
• After major encounter such as defense of the Tower
• Every 15 minutes
• Game Saving should be done when both teams are ready to save the game. The observer will use “Chat All” feature of the game to ask for permission from both teams before pausing and then saving game.
• Both teams are urged to take care of regularly saving the matches progress. The match has to be saved after a team has drawn first blood and from that time on every 10 minutes. It is also in the interest of every team that the match is saved after a team has taken down crucial buildings / has
generated super creeps on a lane / has won an important fight etc. A designated observer saver is allowed should both teams agree.

10A:
Abusing/Exploiting bugs and hacks

• Maphack is strictly forbidden and will result in an instant disqualification.
• Abusing bugs to a team's advantage in any way will result in disqualification.
• Pausing the game unannounced can distract your opponent’s concentration, can give you an unfair advantage, is highly unmannered and therefore strictly forbidden. Players have to inform the opposing team BEFORE pressing the “pause game”-button.

11A:
A match is considered as a win if

11B: the Frozen Throne/World Tree of your enemy is destroyed
11C: 2 or more players of the opposing team left the match
11D: the opposing team forfeits.

12A; GENERAL BEHAVIOR
Participant teams and players must always have good manners and respect other players and the Admin/organization staff. A team may receive a warning, default loss or disqualification if one of his players commits any of the following:

• Refuses to follow tournament official rules
• Uses insulting language
• Makes fun of the opponent players or the admin staff
• Shows an unsporting behavior
• Tries to scam observer

*Notes
1.The tournament organizer reserve the rights to add and/or change rules.
2.The decision of the judge is final.

everything looks good except for 4A... dont u think this is a little silly? backdooring is a strategy and shouldnt be frowned upon lol
every pro tourney has bd as legal.. anyone who cannot deffend their barracks should pay the price and think twice about buying a tp

Anyways, I looked at the post, and I don't know if Crispz edited it or something but it clearly says backdooring is allowed.
