This year rules were changed slightly, but I highly advise that when you are bored, you take a close look at them, as this will be extremely important when signing up and upon getting closer to the date of the NWWC. During the tournament, rules can be updated, but the general basis and ideas will stay the same. Please let me know if you have an questions about them.

5.3 | Upon entering the arena, the 5-6 that are playing must be behind the white line before the referee will start the round. If you continue to cross it before the referee says "GO" or "START" etc, this will delay the round, and could be punishable.

5.9 | Every victory in the pool stage will award your nation 3 points. Only 2 nations will progress from each Group Stage. The Nation with the most points progresses. If two or more nations are at a tie, then the rounds from all of the matches will be added up.
5.10 | Matches and map choice are to be scheduled between team captains, and a referee is to be informed at least 24 hours (1 day) in advance. (A referee is either one of the organisers, or someone that the organisers approve as a referee). A match may not proceed without a referee present. Each team may only have one match per week, this allows the statistics to be updated and reduces workload.
5.11 | When a Caster is present for a match, the match will be Live-streamed, to which the live stream link will be provided on the forums. If a caster is present, the match will be PRIVATE, and only Casters, YouTubers, Team Members and Referees are allowed in spectator. If no caster is available, then the match will be PUBLIC if agreed by both captains, otherwise will remain private.

5.14 | Matches may only be played on NWWC provided servers, with one of the official NWWC maps (exceptions will be allowed, if a referee is present, and the official maps are used)
5.15 | This year we have two map choices (made by Chicken and Ivan). Captains will have to decide on a map. If both want a different map, then the map will be chosen by the referee (e.g GB captain picks Green Map, but Germany captain picks Sand Map, then the referee will have to say the final word, unless the captains come to a last minute agreement.
5.16 | If a referee cannot be present the match may go ahead, as long as one of the M-NWWC 2019 maps are used, and one of M-NWWC 2019 official casters or youtubers are there to provide video evidence of the match.
5.17 | Captains may request a specific referee, but if that referee cannot attend, any referee will be used. Captains cannot decline a referee if one is available.
5.18 | Anyone sitting in spec (Only Server Owners, Referee's, Organisers, Official Nation Team Members, YouTubers, Streamers) must be respectful of the match taking place, this means no excessive chat use, spawning in, and general trolling. This is to allow members to concentrate, otherwise you will be asked to leave the server, and may receive punishment.
