-Format of the ladder is double elimination
-Winner bracket matches are bo3 while the final is bo5

5)Map Picks
-First map in each round is decided by organizer(me) each subsequent map is decided by the player who has lost the previous game
-Players may veto any map once per match. Once the map is veto'd it can't be chosen again for the entirety of the match
-You CAN'T veto a map set by tourney organizer


6)Hero Picks
-Upper bracket player tosses a coin each game. Heads means upper bracket player choses first, tails mean lower bracket player choses first.
-Any hero a player wins with is locked till the end of the match. So,as an example, if you win with Chaos Lord then you can't use him again in the match, but if you lose with him you may use Chaos Lord again
-Player may choose to go random, but is required to write what race they have gotten in the first 15 seconds of the game.Both full names of the races and abbreviations are accepted
example: Space Marines,SM,OM,IG,Eldar,Orks,Nids,Tyranids are all equally viable terms

-Any game with Disconnect after 90 seconds will be remade if
a)If the offendee agrees on a rematch.
b)If the offender had a big advantage(will be decided by me)
If the offendee had advantage and doesn't agree on a rematch they get a win by default(!!!)
