DS Update (Tentative) Tournament Rules

DS Update (tentative) Tournament Rules

To participate in a DS Update tournament you must abide by the following rules. To follow all the rules you will have to read them, so do not just agree without reading them. By signing up for a DS Update hosted tournament you hereby agree to abide by all the rules listed below.

All users who will be signing up for a DS Update tournament must:

    1) Have an active DS Update forums account
        a) The forum account that you are signing up for the tournament must                  have your active e-mail
    2) Have the games required to play in the tournament along with any other             equipment you require to play the game online
    3) Agree to all decisions made by DS Update regarding tournament decisions

When in a tournament players will sign-up in the forums under the DS Update WiFi section and the in the Tournaments board. The first people who sign-up for the tournament will be the ones who play in the tournament. DS Update staff may ONLY play in tournaments as alternate players. In a tournament situation each person will play his opponent once with no rematches. In the situation of Mario Kart tournaments, two people will play each other in a one series (four races) and the winner of the series will advance in the tournament. In the event of tie there will be a rematch between the people who tied. If a rematch cannot be made for what ever reason, DS Update will choose which person will advance in the tournament*.

For advancing in the tournament we will be testing out the honour system. Upon the completion of a match you will head to the DS Update forums and post the results of the match under specified topic in the Tournaments board. One person can post the results of the match (including points) and as long the opponent does not post a message suggesting otherwise DS Update will advance the winner specified in the post. If you believe that your opponent will lie if he/she loses the match you can take a picture of the victory screen for proof. In the event of two people saying the match had different results then DS Update staff will use our discretion to decide who will advance in the tournament. Also in such a case both members may be subject to another race with a DS Update staff. If any person is ever caught trying to cheat in a tournament with lying about results or any other form of cheating, that person will immediately be ejected from the tournament and forbid from entering any future DS Update tournament or online event. Also the person caught cheating will have their IP address banned from the DS Update forums and the DS Update site. This means that if you are caught cheating that you will not only no longer be able to participate in DS Update, but you will no longer even be able to view the DS Update home page.

Once signed-up for the tournament you will receive your opponents information (including friend code in your forum private messages. In the message you will also receive a duration in time which you must face your opponent and post the results. DS Update realizes that not everyone can sit down and play every match in one day. You will have a few days in which you and your opponent will have to arrange a time to face each other. Again, if the match is not completed in this time DS Update will pick a random participant to advance. We ask that you do not sign up for the tournament if you know you will be too busy to play in the matches. The results of all the matches will be posted on the DS Update WiFi Results page (Click Here for results page).

The winner of the tournament will receive all pre-specified winnings described in the tournament description. Also winners will receive a special temporary rank within the forums.

 

 

*Note: in the event of a tie with participants refusing a rematch DS Update may also choose to let neither participant advance in the tournament. This may also occur if people’s results do not concur.
