General Tournament Rules:
  • Identity: I expect many battles to be completed under alts. This can be bad for tournament security, and thus I will make this clear: If I hear any whispers of identity theft (battling as someone you are not) or proxy battling (helping someone else battle through pm) I will not be pleased and I will take severe actions.
  • Timer Clause: As for taking long between moves, if your opponent asks you to hurry up, please oblige. If you are doing a damage calc for a key turn that is one thing, but prolonging every move is suspicious and annoying. Don't do it. Furthermore, Battle Timeout is a rule for a reason. If you run out of time, you lose, simple as that. It does not matter what your opponent says. Do not battle if you think you will have to leave mid battle, and instead reschedule for a better time.
  • Disconnections: Finally, in the case of a disconnect, the decision is in the hands of the player who did not disconnect. The options are: redo the battle move for move, redo the battle with the same teams but different moves, or redo the battle with completely different teams. If the battle was without a doubt over, they may also take the win. Any suspicion that a disconnect was committed on purpose to redo a match may be appealed to me, and if I feel this happened there will be severe consequences, don't do it.

I had a scheduling mishap with DugZa which is 100% my fault. I did not get back to him until it was too late by his time yesterday, saying I would be available at his proposed time. I then proceeded to mess up the timezones, thinking the game would be a few hours later than it was. I have no idea if DugZa was online today at the scheduled time (I did not receive any messages saying he was online) and only realized after the fact. I don't think he'll be online for the rest of the day unfortunately.

I'd feel dirty requesting an extension without him agreeing to it, considering that I'm at fault, so it's up to him.

Edit: Requesting extension for tomorrow, we'll get the series done.
