TOURNAMENT-PROPER RULES, PROCEDURES AND REGULATIONS

1. The start of a match will be signaled by marshaling game master. Players may start casting buffs during the count down. Use of other skills, on the other hand, is restricted until the marshals give their go signal. Offending players will be given a warning; then on the second offense, penalty will be disqualification from the tournament. The same rule holds for those who attack a tournament marshal.

2. Lag will not stop the clock. Disconnection will not stop the clock. Once a game has already started, disconnection of players from the servers, regardless of their number, will not stop the match. If a whole team is abnormally logged off while a game is ongoing, the team forfeits the match. It is the RESPONSIBILITY OF THE GUILDMASTER AND THE ENTIRE TEAM TO ENSURE THAT THEIR CONNECTIONS, HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE ARE ALL WORKING IN GOOD CONDITION.

3. Any event that transpires (including Character kills and fouls) before a match is paused is considered legal.

4. The GMs, Marshalls and Tournament Committees' DECISION IS FINAL

5. A team is considered to have won the round if they have met the following conditions:
•The team kills ALL members of the opposing team
•The team has the most number of kills after the determined match period

6. CONCEDING - Conceding a match can only be done before the match begins.

7. FOULS:
•Zoning Foul - This is defined as moving your character in an unauthorized area or refusing to follow move orders issued by the GM in-game.
•Skill Foul - This is defined as using skills in the tournament area before the countdown by the head marshal.
•Striking Foul - This is defined as striking any of the GMs in game.
•Technical Foul - This is defined as engaging in any behavior that is unsportsmanlike and includes excessive profanity or violence against property or individuals including the marshals.

Fouls are counted as "kills" on the team, that is, they are subtracted from the number of surviving members of a team to determine the final score.
Ex: Team A has 2 fouls and 6 surviving members at the end of the fight. They will be treated as having only 4 surviving members. - A team that accumulates 3 or more fouls is automatically loses a game -

8. Trash-talking is allowed to an extent. Please avoid cussing and profanity during all stages of the tournament Level Up and/or officials of the RPC season 2 Tournament Committee reserve the right to suspend or ban a player or guild without prior notice for any reason deemed necessary.
