Rules
In drafting these rules, I drew heavily on those made for the 2017 CNC. Nevertheless, there are some important modifications
general rules
§1. Teams will only be composed of players who have the nationality of their team's country/countries.
§1-1 A player can play in only one nation
§2 Every team has to provide the tournament administration with a roster, consisting of 15 to 24 players and their respective Steam IDs & in game GUID before being accepted into the tournament. (me for example :
Steam ID & 1677417)
§2-1 if a team is turned away from the tournament, then depending on the reason for the refusal, the captain may be replaced or the nation declared forfeit for the tournament
§3 Teams allowed to welcome a foreign member will only be allowed by the organizers, on the condition that this is the only way for these players to play if he has a link with that nation. For example, Krishna from India can play with the British national team.
§4 The perfect balance will be 12. If a team can put more players on the field, they must get them to play. If a captain is caught failing to bring in certain players in order to favour a reduced number of elite players, the sanction can range from forfeiting the match in favour of the opponents to simply replacing the captain.
§5. If a team doesn't bring enough players, they will play with what they have, but the team they face will still be allowed to have the
decided minimum number of men fighting.
§6. Teams will have to pick one unit between the following: Cuirassier or Hussar and will have to stick to it throughout the competition.
§7. Matches will be 'Best of 10'.
§8. To win a round, a team has to kill everyone in the enemy team.
§9. Picking enemy weapons and horses is allowed, like in a standard 1v1 regimental cavalry fight.
§10. No shooting, no trolling or t-bagging, no insulting, wall-/ stonehugging or glitching.
§11 Spectators are allowed unless one team captain asks to play without.
§12. Listen to the admins and what they say.
§13. Matches' organization will be up to the Captains of the teams which have to face each other every week. They have to post a date and hour,
and then I will give a referee and server to this match.
§13-1if the captains can't agree, I will personally choose the date of their match.
§14You have to play all your matchs on the tournament server. Your opponent is defined in the "challonge" table.
§15. two officers (the Team Captain and the Vice Captain) per team may be on the field, to lead their men. one flag is allowed. the rest of the players must take "ranker"
§16 The round will start automatically. If you need a few seconds just tell the admin.
§17 If the time runs out the team with more living players wins this round.
§17-1 each round lasts a maximum of 40 minutes.
§18. Shooting is strictly forbidden.
§19. Team members and captains alike are asked to remain calm at all time if they are unhappy with any decision a referee or I can make. If they wish to express their discontent they must do it on this FSE thread, and write it politely. No insults or in-game complaints will be accepted.
§20. Players must wear the tags they were signed-up with in their team's roster. They may change things in it, but must keep the original name visible. For example: a player signed as Potato can join the servers with the tag "DeadlyPotato", but not "DeadlyBottle".
these rules are the main ones. For a player, not respecting them means compromising his team but also his place in the competition
administrative rules

§2The referees for each match are chosen by the two captains. If they are unable to reach an agreement, a referee will be appointed for them ex officio.

§1 Players should respect both the letter and the spirit of the rules. The responsibility for ensuring that this happens lies not with one individual - it involves captains, players and referees.
