III. Disconnections:

Quoted: ADC Rules

Teams are persuaded to save their games frequently during a match in order to compensate for disconnections (every 5th - 10th minutes)

Disconnect before the first hero has been killed:
Match load from the save if exists.

In case there is not a save after the ban/pick process: teams must take a screen shot with open scoreboard or save the replay, the match has then to be remade in -ap mode with the same heroes/lanes.

Disconnect after the first hero has been killed:
a) If a savegame has been made within the last 10 minutes, then consult the rule below. If not then the game continues without the disconnected player.
b) If the game was saved less than 10 minutes before the disconnection of a player, then the game has to be reloaded unless:

- The team losing their player wants to continue without a reload
- The other team destroyed at least one rax and they wish to continue
- If team 1 have killed 5+ heroes more than team 2 during the time from the last save game and the disconnection, then the disconnect is in the favor of team 1 which may choose whether to continue the match or remake from the save game.

For example: At the time of the save game the score is 35-35 and at the time of the disconnection the score is 42-37 for team 1

The item Aegis counts for 1 kill
A tower counts for 3 kills when calculating this, down.

If neither team is in advantage then an admin should be consulted, unless teams can agree to a decision by themselves.

If the players or the host pulled off, then there will be consequences of that action.

If a disconnected player is not able to be present within 15 minutes,games should be continued without him.Both teams have the right to request a save after big team collisions and when at least one building was destroyed.

After a remake all players have to pick the same heroes as before, buy the same items and must go to the same starting lane. On initial creep contact, the players may change their lanes.

If the same player disconnects more than 2 times, then the opposing team may chose to continue the match without him (the opposite team is allowed to continue without the disconnected player starting from the3rd disconnection).

It is allowed to use a disconnected hero, but it is not allowed to give his items to other players. The items may either stay on the disconnected hero, or be sold so the money is dispersed among there maining players.
Consumables are allowed to use up.


IV. Replay and Screen shots

This is the most important part of the Event because this is the only way to proclaim the winning team as winners (unless there is a marshalas a referee of the game). Without it, we can't determine who really won the game. So please give prior attention on this requirement,especially to winning teams.

Replays and Screenshots Title/Subject should be as follows:

* [Round#] Team1(w) vs Team(L)
