Rule-info for championship matches
1) Teams are named in ”international championship thread”. Captains are “contact persons”. Each team have 4 players and 2 substitutes. If lower amount of players are available, when game starts, team must play by using only earlier named list of players.
2) Captains are informed about time-schedule and IP-address of the games. They have to share this information with their team. USE PRIVATE MESSAGES OR E-MAIL! NOT FORUMS PUBLIC THREADS! Otherwise we have to use passwords to protect outsiders effect.
3) Delays or changes in time-schedule are informed to captains as soon as possible. If there are some problems with technical things, connection, important family-things of the host, there might be some changes. Spare-host is Janne Procyon, but in all other cases it is me (Mikko). If Janne cant host game, match will be scheduled to other day.
4) Host is open 30min before start (20.00 time of Finland
http://www.aika.fi/ )
And the game will start 20.30. If player is late, he can join to the rest of the matches, but no restarts for being late.
5) There will be 4 lakes in one tournament. (2x 15min and 2x 30min). Lakes are not named before start, but “long games are played in large maps”. There are short, about 5min break between games. Results are counted immediately after game is over. There are 30min protesting time after results are shown. If there are something wrong, captains do the official protest and send it to me or Janne (if hosting). Procyon Products make decisions for approvals and discarding of the protests. There is no way to complain about decisions.
6) If connection to the game is cut off during match, player is out of the match. If some problems occur during start, there will be 1 restart. If the same player is constantly having problems with start, no restarts are performed. If the host is crashed, then there will be restart of the lake. Players must rejoin as soon as possible. If there are some other major problems, it is informed to captains as soon as possible. There will be also additional information about continuing of the game.
7) Most of the games are “normal” type of matches, but there will be also “largest fish” and “pcs” type of games. Most of species and “only kiiski” types are not selected. Lakes will/might be different between starting leagues.
8 ) Points:
1 = 10 points
2 = 8
3 = 6
4 = 5
6 = 4
7 = 3
8 = 2
9 = 1
Largest fish = 1 point (after all, I decided to take this into pointing system).
Host is counting points and therefore also collecting playlog-file. Host is not playing, he is only official referee.
In starting leagues, there will be 4 teams in each league (total 16 players + referee). Best 2 teams of each league goes to final.
Starting leagues:
1)
Ukraine
Estonia
Latvia
Finland
2)
Sweden
Poland
Russia
Norway
Players of the teams are informed here:
http://www.kalassa.net/keskustelut/index.php?topic=17636.0Team Ukraine have not informed players yet. Last deadline is Friday 8th of Feb. If there is no players named before this, the team will be out of tournament.
9) Games are planned to be played during February 2008. Time-schedules are informed about 1 week before match. We will prefer playing durin Mon- Thu. Weekends are too busy for most of us (we are fishermen!).
10) 2 best teams of each starting league go to final. If there are 2 teams with same amount of points, positions in matches makes the difference. If EVEN THIS did not make a difference, largest fish of the team is taken into account. If EVEN THIS did not make a difference (nearly impossible situation), I will toss a coin to find out the winner.
11) Final is played with the same system than starting leagues.
12) Chatting during games is allowed, but private messaging is preferred. In public chat, the language is ONLY English. No other languages are allowed or player will get muted.
POSSIBLE TIME-TABLE!!! (not final yet, but please make a marking into your calenders)
13th of Feb 20.00-23.30 Starting League 1
14th of Feb 20.00-23.30 Starting League 2
20th of Feb 20.00-23.30 Finals
We have no trophies sponsored for this tournament. Team Procyon will do some sort of avatar + banner for winning team, if they want to use them i.e. in their own forum profiles.
Best wishes and good luck!
