Hello Team
Tibet
Rules and Info Update:
Elected Captains and their Main Team lists (of up to 12) need to be PM'd to me no later than March 5th. I would prefer them
sooner.
Moblists will be posted in their own
Sticky Threads here,
at least 1 week before each hunt, hopefully the day after the previous Hunt weekend.
Each Hunt starts and finishes at a location given at least 1 week before the day of the Hunt. Some will have facilities, some will not. Most will
not be near a TP. Details and Co-Ords will be posted along with the Moblists.
Main Team and Hunt Team:
The members of a Main Team who hunt in any given match are referred to as the
Hunt Team. Any Main Team members not in that match's Hunt Team
can act as Support.
Availability allowing, all Hunt Teams will have an
embedded Judge. You will be told your designated Judge at the Meet n' Greet.
Meet n' Greet and MIA (Missing in Action)
Meet n' Greet: The Hunt Teams taking part in each match must meet with the Judge
before and after each match. Try to show up early. If members of a Main Team are late for the start, they can join the hunt ONLY by turning up at the
Start/Finish point and personally informing the Judges. This can happen at any time during the match. They can only use whatever time is left in that match to score (i.e. they forfeit any time they have missed)
The meet n' greet is when the judge confirms and records the names of the Hunt Team for each country taking part in that match, and joins the team as an embedded Judge.
When this is not possible, Captains will add one of the other Team's Judges to their Friends List and confirm Globals "The Old way". I will do my best to cycle through the teams so no one ends up doing it the old way more than others.
The Old Way is to pm a "got it?" or similar to the judge after each global, who replies with "got it" or similar. This helps make sure no globals are missed. If Captains forget to pm, their scores will still be recorded, but mistakes can be made... (and sometimes globals have shown up in some chat and not in others).
MIA: Any
Hunt Team avatar not present within 10 minutes of the end of the match in question will cost a penalty of 10 Points to that Team's score, for being Missing In Action.[/B] This rule serves to keep the Tournament running tight and smooth. If server problems affect people from more than one team (i.e. mass ctd) then this will be waived in favour of the Mass CTD rule.
Mass CTD: If members from
more than one team and/or judges are drastically affected by server, or other difficulties the
Mass CTD may be declared by Judges still present/on their relog. The time of the incident will be logged, rounded
down to the nearest 10 minutes, scores at the time of CTD recorded also, and the remainder of the match will be played when all have recovered, or at a later date if another match is waiting to start and there are insufficient Judges.
Those who sign for a Main Team can only change to another Main Team if they have
not yet hunted in the Tournament as a Main Team member.
Captains wishing to change their Main Team must present evidence explaining why. Those who have hunted in the Tournament as part of the Main Team can only be dropped or changed with mutual consent of the Captain and the Avatar being dropped, or by a majority vote within the 12 members of the Main Team.
Support:
This year, to give more hope to the smaller teams, there will be
CAPS (limits) on Support scoring. If Support Team leaders contact the Judge of their match they will be able to find out if they have reached their cap.
For the
Qualifiers, the maximum Support score is
100 Points.
For
Stages 3 and 4, the maximum Support score is
150 Points
For
Stage 5, maximum Support score is
200 Points
For the
Final, Support scores are
unlimited. (By this time, teams are expected to have gathered larger support than they had at the start)
The Support Mobs will be slightly tougher in general, to reflect the amazing work done last year, with the occasional "Uber" mob to encourage teamwork.
The Support Teams can still be of any size and number, as long as their team names contain the word
"Support" and the country name they are supporting. Support teams do not have to be present at the start or finish of the match and can join in when they like.
Kill-Stealing is viewed as hostile and against the spirit of the Tournament. Repeated accusations will lead to investigation and possible action against the perpetrators.
If any team fail to show for a match they are in, their score will be recorded as 0. Their opponents will still hunt as each stage needs a score for the records.
I, as organiser reserve the right to pass judgement in undecided matters related to the Tournament. If my actions are seen as unjust I will allow a vote from the team, or teams involved to affect my decisions.
I also reserve the right to add a few rules before the start if it turns out I forgot them
Other details:
You are all invited to the WoF 2009 LAUNCH PARTY on the Secret Island (see thread in stickies).
The best of luck to all of you... you're about to enter hell!
