Subject: SKA Tournament Rules Sun Nov 09, 2014 12:11 pm

I: Official Tournament Regulations

Players must follow the KDE OFFICIAL TOURNAMENT DOCUMENTS.
The SKA Game Master Team attempts to follow all of those rules as closely as possible for all Official Tournaments and Events.

II: During a Tournament

Any of the following rules MAY be overridden by the rule book of an official tournament; however, these are the default if no conflicting rules are specified.
All matches must be held in the Advanced Unrated section of DN allowing watchers without a password.
All participants are required to submit Side-Decking screenshots as well as Victory Screenshots after each round to the Game Master in charge of the tournament.
- Refusal to comply may result in a disqualification or nullification of the match results.

If the official banlist changes, the tournament continues with the initial Banlist. (Any necessary proxies would be announced.)
If new cards are released or game rules change, the tournament continues using the card pool and rules it started with.

III: Inactivity and Disqualifications

Inactivity is treated as being offline for at least 36 consecutive hours for all General Tournaments with no attempt made to contact the opponent within a reasonable time.
- Inactivity will result in a matchloss
During a Live, a Gameloss is enforced for each 10 minutes of offline time.
Dodging will not be tolerated. If proof can be provided of continuous dodging, then the opposing player will be disqualified from the tournament.
If a participant is permanently banned while participating in any SKA Tournament, they are immediately disqualified.
If a participant is temporarily banned, normal inactivity rules apply.
- No participants may evade a ban applied during a tournament to continue participating in that tournament.

IV: Disconnections

A game loss is enforced in almost all cases involving a player dropping out during a duel for whatever reason
The following cases result in the nullification of the game instead:
- It can be determined based on public knowledge that the player who disconnected was going to win DURING that turn or the turn directly following.
- Advantage was favoring the disconnecting player to the point where 2 perfect draws in a row could not prevent the disconnecting player's victory.
If the disconnection occurs during siding, the match resumes from the point at which the disconnection occurred.

This rules are meant for Dueling Network.
