Tournament rules
Age of Mythology:Titans Tournament III

A. The tournament staff will consist of [PK]Chicks, [PK]Clown, [PK]Demonoid and [PK]Jollyman.
2. Commencement & Concluding Date
A. The tournament's registration stage will start June 11th and will close with the group stage opening on June 20, 2013. Tournament concludes July 28th.
3. Stages
B. Bracket Stage
The top two seeds of each group will enter the first stage of the single elimination bracket, the round-of-16, where each player will then play a best-of-3 against an opponent determined by seeding and which group the players advanced from. The best-of-3 is to be finished within 7 days. The winners of each best-of-3 round-of-16 match will advance to the quarterfinals. Stage end date July 7th GMT.
4. Game Play
A. All games are expected to be rated and recorded. We expect the victors of each match to then post these recorded games on the tournament section of the PK forum.
B. If a bug is identified or a disconnection occurs in the first two (2) minutes of a game, the match may be restarted if both players agree to do so, not more then once per player/per match. In the event section 4.B is not met, match games are to be reviewed and approved by a member of the tournament staff.
C. If a disconnection occurs later on in the game, the tournament staff may adjudicate and thus award a victory to the player that appeared to be winning. Otherwise, a close game without an obvious winner may be restarted based upon the decision of the tournament staff.
D. Players are not permitted to play the winning civilization twice in a row. This applies to all bracket stage matches only.
E. All games are to be played on random map.
5. Disqualifications
A. If you suspect your opponent has some sort of unfair external advantage (i.e., cheats, hacks, map visibility, trainers, etc.), finish the game and submit it for review with an explanation of why you think the game was unfair. If the tournament staff members find someone to be guilty of cheating, the cheater will be disqualified & auxiliary action may be taken.
B. In the event that hunt deleting is used, disqualification will result.
C. If a player repeatedly disconnects from games, disqualification may be considered.
D. Accounts used in the tournament must be used by one person, is sole owner of the account, and must be the main account of the registrant for proper seeding. Tempering with this decree will result in an immediate disqualification and undeviating removal from PK and correlated sites & events.
