2.2 - If the match has been going for less than 5 minutes and a player disconnects and is unable to rejoin, then the game should be restarted.
2.3 - In the event of a remake, players must play the same heroes, buy the same initial items, pick the same spells, and go to the same lanes as they did in the prior game. Players may change lanes once the creeps in their initial lanes meet. If a team employed a strategy (such as a level 1 Roshan) that is heavily dependent on the surprise factor of the draft in the opening minutes of the game, and a player legitimately dropped during this stage; an admin may allow a re-draft and re-match (of that individual game).

3 - Fair Play Rule
3.1 - The players are expected to play by their full capacity at all times. Losing on purpose won’t be tolerated and will result in a disqualification. This is up to the Head Admin to decide. This is a professional tournament and all players are expected to act like such.

4.2 - It is required that every player records their matches or saves the replay of all of their league matches.

5 – Results
5.1 - Both team captains must post the result on the match thread, as well as a screenshot of the end-game score of all games. Screenshots and results must be posted the same night as the match. Results that are not submitted by the time the admin needs them, will be marked as a double forfeit.

11 - Side Selection
11.1 - A coin toss will be held in the match lobby before the match begins.
11.2 - To begin the Side Selection process, the team leaders must elect which of them call for the heads or tails side of the coin. If neither clan leader can come to an agreement, the team with the highest seed will be given the choice.
11.3 - The clan leader who is not calling heads or tails will then toss the coin (using the /flip command in lobby chat) and the winning team of the coin toss will have the choice to pick which side of the map they want to start on (Dire or Radiant) OR to decide which team will be picking first in the banning phase.
11.4 - This process will be repeated for subsequent matches.
11.5 - If a team wishes to play either Dire or Radiant for both games they must come to a mutual agreement between themselves. This is not obligatory and teams can refuse to do so.
### We will leave 11.5 completely in the hands of the players. Mutual agreements must be confirmed by both captains in the comment section of the respective match If no mutual agreement is made or rules 2.6.2 is refused by an opposing team revert back to 2.6.1.

### Do not bother us with any disputes on this matter as they will be ignored ###
