Referees and their decision
Respect the fact, human error does occur but they always give a fair decision the way they see it (not necessarily the way you might see it). Also, issues that do occur are usually a result of players not knowing the Competition Rulings.

Teams and players are kindly reminded that we all make mistakes. Whilst we all try to be perfect, there isn’t a player in this world that can get through an entire match without making a mistake - it's part of the game. Referees are no different. Our referee’s try their best to be accurate with all of their decisions, but reality is that during the course of each competition they will make mistakes. Please accept it in the same manner that you accept mistakes from yourself and your team mates. The Referees are not to be abused in any way whatsoever and above all, respect the referees as THEIR DECISION IS FINAL.

 

Management
Remember the competition offered have a strong emphasis on interaction and fun, whilst providing social games with a competitive edge. Rules exist in order to keep the game fair and in control, hence they are to be adhered to very closely.

Team spectators wishing to support their team must act in a civil manner at all times. They must not interfere or be distracting towards referees/officials and or players. Persons offending will be asked to vacate a venue. There will be no excuse for any inappropriate behaviour or swearing. This will NOT be tolerated whatsoever.

If a player(s) wishes to spoil it for the rest of their team and are found guilty of misconduct, the penalties will be harsher than expected. We suggest if players and their fellow spectators cannot abide by the Rules and By-Laws of the game, they should not play or attend matches at all.

We expect everyone to play the game in a sportsmanlike manner and to ensure that each of you emphasise enjoyment whilst participating. If you have anything to say constructively about improving the competition, we would be more than happy to listen.

 

Injuries or Death:
The organizer will not be held liable for any injuries or death suffered during the course and within the premises of the tournament.

[PART C]

Game Rules and Regulations (DOTA All Stars)
DOTA All Stars is a custom map created for Warcraft II. Since it's a custom map, some of the game concepts are very different from the original Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos or The Frozen Throne. The original game and the DOTA custom map, however, do share some similaritiesm such as the usage of modified Warcraft characters, adaptation of Warcraft spells such as Healing, as well as items like Boots of Speed.
For the DOTA ALL-Stars map. two bases are set at opposite corners of the map. In each base is situated a central building known as the Ancient, from which the map derives its name. The goal of the game is to destroy the Ancient of the opposing team and to defend one's own ancient. Ancients used each team are commonly The Frozen Throne/World Tree (in the variants Classic, Allstars); and the normal Town Centers for either side (in the variant Outland). Three lanes join the two bases. A river runs diagonally through the center of the map, perpendicular to the three lanes. Each team has a number of defensive towers in each lane, placed on their side of the river.
The teams consist of up to 5 players, each controlling a single hero, and a computer which controls creeps. Standard variants do not support the artificial intelligence for computer controlled heroes.

General Game Rules:

- Competition Method: 5 vs. 5 (Team Play, 5 players + 2 substitute per team)

- Match Format: Best of one game

- Match Winner: The team who destroys the opponent’s throne/world tree first, or if the opponent surrenders.

Heroes drafting:

- Game Mode: Extended League Mode. (-Ap mode will be typed in-game)
- Teams will decide which claims first pick or sides pick after the coin toss. Both teams will be allowed to take out up to 3 heroes from the pool of heroes before drafting starts. This will work based on a 1-1-1-1-1-1 format. Teams can choose to stop taking out heroes before the maximum 3 heroes limit and their turn to take out the heroes will be void.

1. Team one will take out / skip the chance : 1 hero
2. Team two will take out / skip the chance : 1 hero
3. Team one will take out / skip the chance : 1 hero

At the end of the game, replay has to be saved and named as RG_DOTA_TEAM1vsTEAM2 by the winning team leader or at least one of the team members. Failure to do so will cause the game to be void and no winner will be declared for that game.

Game Play Rules:

Backdooring:

Backdooring is allowed. However, instances of teleport abuse are not allowed. You cannot use any form of teleport (furion skill, ignis fatuus, or Boots of Travel) to enter an enemy base UNLESS your creeps are already present in the base.

Example:

1. Teleporting with Boots of Travel onto an ignis fatuus that runs in to backdoor without the presence of creeps is illegal.

2. Your teammates backdoor and enters an enemy base and then teleport to your teammates as Furion. This is illegal because your creep wave is not present. Some of these measures have since been restricted in recent map versions in support of this rule.

Sharing of Items:

Sharing of item is allowed as long as the game permits

Abuses & Exploitation:

1. Trees Trapping (Disqualification):
Trapping enemies in trees intentionally is not allowed.

2. Pooling (Warning or Game Loss):
No pooling of any sort is allowed. This means that items bought with a player's own money cannot at any time be carried by any of his teammates. Items bought with the player's own money can only be carried or sold by him. This rule only applies to players on the same team. Players can pick up items dropped by their opponents.

3. Pause Abuse (Warning or Game Loss):
During hero selection. From the point after hero selection process is completed, pausing without any valid reason is disallowed.

4. Creep Blocking (Disqualification):
Creep blocking permanently is not allowed but creep slowing/delay or luring is allowed. Blocking here refers to the prolonged blocking of creeps to stop them from taking their usual path. (ie: Using Chen's creeps to block the entire entrance of the base for a long time.) Creep slowing means that you can delay the creeps from moving in their usual path for a few seconds (ie: Using fissure) or you can lure your creeps to neutral creeps.

5. Bugs Exploitation (Warning , Game Loss or Disqualification):
No Exploitation of any known old or new bug discovered during gameplay. No excuses will be entertained. Ignorance is not an excuse. Participants/Teams are expected to know what these bugs are. Participants/teams that experience any abnormal gameplay are advised to inform the marshal on duty immediately.

Definition of “bugs”

1. Anything abnormal which will give a player/team an unfair advantage.
2. Anything which will cause interruption/fatal error to the game.

6. Control sharing:

1. Control sharing is allowed.

Penalties Awarded:

Game Loss: Game loss given to a team means that the team loses the current game no matter what is the result of that game. A win would be awarded to opponent instead.
Disqualifications: A team disqualified will be ejected from the tournament. They will not be able to continue further in the current event.

Disconnections:

1. Any team members who intentionally drop out of the game might cause that member's team to be given a game loss for that game. Appeal can be made but decision by the marshal or official will be final.

2. If the game hangs, do not change anything and leave the screen as it is. Pause the game and notify the marshal immediately.

3. If any players are disconnected within 15 minutes after game starts then the game has to restart.

4. If any players are disconnected 15 min after game starts then the game will continue.

5. If all players' systems hang or the game cannot continue because the majority of the players within the same game experience a game hang, the marshal can decide to restart the game, load from last save or award a win to either team.

Saving of Game & Game crashes/Fatal error:

1. At the 30th minute mark or at “first blood”, the game will be saved once for a backup saved game. After the 30th minute mark at every 15 minutes interval, the game will be saved for a backup saved game.

2. Head Marshal/ Marshals will have the right to ask players to save game during any period of the game.

3. Any game crash after 80 minutes will not be continued anymore and a decision will be made by the marshal of that match based on the replay of that match.

4. In the times of a game crash/fatal error, the marshal's or official’s decision after review will be final.

Save game validity:
A saved game is outdated if since the saved game;
- A tower/barrack has been destroyed
- A total of 12 or more kills occurred . (Aegis charges lost count as kills)
- The net total kills changed by 4 or more. (Aegis charges lost count as kills)
The net total is the difference in kill score between both teams.

Examples:

- An 11-4 score at the save leaves a net total difference of 7, a 11-8 score at the drop leaves a net total of 3. The net total went from 7 to 3, a change of 4, as such, the save is outdated.

- A 20-16 score at the save leaves a net total difference of 4, a 26-22 score at the drop leaves a net total of 4. The net total stayed at 4; however 12 kills happened since the save, as such, the save is outdated.

- A 5-3 score at the save leaves a net total difference of 2, a 12-7 score at the drop leaves a net total of 5. No towers/barracks were downed. The net total went from 2 to 5, 11 kills happened since the save, as such, the save is valid.

If the most recent save game is outdated, the normal disconnect rules apply.
If the most recent save game is valid, the dropped players team can choose to reload from the save game if they so desire.
