Metanoia Charity Cup 2019 Ruleset and Guidelines
General
Discord, as well as E-mail, will be the official communication system adopted by Metanoia.
If there are any disputes or queries, a ticket system is in place that can be used to raise/address such disputes or queries on Discord. In order to use the ticket system, go to “Create ticket” at the bottom type? new. It will then create a new ticket. You will then be able to communicate with an admin regarding your concern.
There will be a Discord channel that the Admins/Casters will post scores for all to see.
Team Captains needs to be on Discord. Furthermore, Captains need to disclose, during registration, what their Discord name is. The Captain’s name is to remain unchanged until the completion of the tournament.
Schedule Changes:
Game dates are subject to change, should the situation, as well as the time table, allow for it. A team which experiences a problem regarding the scheduling of a game will be required to provide a valid reason for the game in question to be rescheduled. Furthermore, it is paramount that the Captains contacts a Metanoia admin at least 24 hours prior to the scheduled game.
Load Shedding Regulations
While the power utility issues are out of our control, we understand that it is often hard to for teams to find solutions to the issue. We have put together the following regulations in an effort to assist teams, while still keeping teams accountable for their booking process and to ensure teams use their reserves when needed. We’ve put together a guide so teams can better manage the process, as well as regulations for the unfortunate situation where a match cannot continue, through no fault on the team’s behalf.
* Guide:
o 1) Work closely with your Metanoia Admins to determine a working schedule. In a case where all your subs are also not available
o 2) Make sure your reserves are online and waiting before and during your match. We recommended that each team house 3 reserves. If a player is load shed, replace the player with a reserve.
o 3) Scheduled Matches will only be moved on a worst-case scenario if there are too many people affected on both teams.
* Regulations:
o If a match cannot continue due to load shedding, the admins will schedule the match to be played the following night. Or over the weekend but this game will possibly not be cast or streamed
* Note that the admins will investigate the team who is requesting a postponement, to ensure that they followed the guidelines correctly. If a team did not follow the guidelines, the team’s application for postponement will not be granted, as that team will be considered responsible.
o Teams with only one or fewer reserves will not be granted any postponements.
* Teams with only one or no reserves did not plan accordingly before entering the event.
o Teams with reserves, but do not make use of their reserves due to the reserves lack of availability will not be granted a postponement.
* Teams must ensure that their reserves are available.
o When applying for a postponement, teams must provide the load shedding schedule for the effected players for validation. This includes for each of your reserves.
o Metanoia will not postpone the postponement due to load shedding. We can only be accommodating for a short period of time. The event must go on.
