4.Game Play
A. All games are expected to be rated and recorded. We expect players to then post these recorded games on the tournament section of the PK forum.
B. If a bug is identified or a disconnection occurs in the first two (2) minutes of a game, the match may be restarted if both players agree to do so, not more then once per player/per match. In the event section 4.B is not met, match games are to be reviewed and approved by a member of the tournament staff.
C. If a disconnection occurs later on in the game, the tournament staff may adjudicate and thus award a victory to the player that appeared to be winning. Otherwise, a close game without an obvious winner may be restarted based upon the decision of the tournament staff.
D. Players are not permitted to play the winning civilization twice in a row. This applies to matches in Bracket Stage II, Quarter-Final, Semi-Final and Final games
E. In the event of a dispute or a level of deliberation that is determined by the tournament staff to be excessively indecisive, players may be forced into using the civilization described as their preferred civilization on their application form. This proceeding is not preferred. Should this proceeding go through, record will be kept on the (Two) players in dispute for the following matches.

5.Disqualifications
A. If you suspect your opponent has some sort of unfair external advantage (i.e., cheats, hacks, map visibility, trainers, etc.), finish the game and submit it for review with an explanation of why you think the game was unfair. If the tournament staff members find someone to be guilty of cheating, the cheater will be disqualified from the tournament and reported.
B. If a player repeatedly disconnects from games, disqualification may be considered.
C. Accounts used in the tournament must be used by one person, is sole owner of the account, and must be the main account of the registrant for proper seeding. Tempering with this decree will result in an immediate disqualification and undeviating removal from ESO, PK and correlated sites. 

Commencement Date
The tournament staff would like to start the tournament March, 2013.

Prizes
At the conclusion of the tournament, the pot will be divided between the following individuals:
A)65% 1st place.
B)20% 2nd place.
C)10% 3rd place
D)5%  4th place.

tad has the better players, but nilla has more decent ones.. I would be interested in a TAD tournament too, but only with really good rules, since there are many broken civs.

btw, dont you play on kumruke now and then?!
