Tie breakers

Sonneborn-Berger score (Neustadtl score)

A player’s score is the sum of the time of his victories. The lower the better.

Koya score

Cheating and Unsportsmanlike Behavior

No forms of cheating in the tournaments will be permitted, no matter what form they might take. The participant agrees to use nothing more than the options contained within a game, and not to modify these options in a way that might give them an unfair advantage. Cheating can take several forms and includes Match fixing.

Lan ETS reserves the right to verify the configuration of any computer to verify that it conforms to the tournament rules and regulations. Lan ETS may also sporadically verify various players' computers. Furthermore, any player who refuses to let a tournament administrator verify their computer will automatically be considered to be cheating .

In the case of team competitions, the entire team will be held accountable for a cheating verdict for the current tournament. It is therefore the responsibility of the team to verify the configuration of each of their players before each tournament. Failure in this will result in the application of the previously mentioned consequences.

All players exhibiting what Lan ETS staff considers to be unsportsmanlike behavior will be expelled from the event without a refund or discussion. Examples of unsportsmanlike behavior: verbal or physical violence or harassment, any sort of threat against Lan ETS staff or other players involving the voluntary theft or damaging of equipment belonging to Lan ETS or anyone else. Legal charges may be pressed against any person exhibiting such behavior.

Players caught cheating may have their ticked revoked and have to leave the event.

Players caught cheating may be prohibited from participating in future Lan ETS tournaments for a period of time at the discretion of Lan ETS.

Players banned from a competitive league may be refused entry in our tournaments.
