Matchdays
Under no circumstances should a match be played outside of the matchweek. If you need to postpone then you may speak to a moderator or host and a maximum of 7 days can be given. Understand that if you postpone a match to the next week, you are then expected to play 2 matches during the next matchweek. If a match has not been completed without a host's consent. Then both regiments will receive a draw. If a regiment does not show up to the match, the opponent regiment will receive a 10-0 win. Please do not even bother signing up if you are not willing to forgo playing your usual events. This is a competitive tournament and we expect each regiment to make it their priorities. | | Withdraws
If a regiment withdraws from the cup, all opponents will receive a draw. Including matches that have already been completed.
| | Fire In Charge
As soon as contact is initiated between either regiment then all firing must cease. Or if a member of a regiment breaks their formation. Failure to do so will result in a slay. If 4 or more people are shot in charge then the victim regiment may ask for a reset (subject to intepretation by referee depending on situation).
| | Movement in Formation
No more than 3 man gaps in between the players. Once your line starts moving out all firing must stop or slays will be issued. Any reloaders should at the very least join onto the back of the line. Anymore than the stated 3 man gap would be classed as reloading out of line.

Gaps While Firing
Reload -> Fix -> Shoot. In that order. Gaps must be fixed after your players have fired. While shooting there should be no gaps in between players. Firing without fixing the gap will be given a warning, failure to listen to this warning will result in a slay of the player(s).
| | Officer Aim
Officers should stand 4-5 spaces from the line to avoid any issues. If the officer is shot as the line is forming up, this still counts as officer aim as the officer should not be aimed at whatsoever. If the officer is shot then the killer will be slain and option for a reset will be open. If the officer is behind the line or in between members, then this is his own fault so no slay will be given.
| | Units
Only regular line infantry should be used. No guard, light, skirmisher or marines. Also no musicians or flag bearers.
| | Attendance
Minimum of 15 and a maximum of 35. Only a 1 man majority is allowed over the enemy regiment. If one regiment brings less than 15, the opponent regiment is allowed to field 15. The 1 man majority rule does not apply. You do not need to balance after the 30 second spawn period.

Players
If a person leaves one regiment of the cup, then joins another he is not allowed to play with that regiment within 48 hours. If a player swaps regiments 3 times within one season of the league, he will be required to either stick to that regiment, or receive a ban from the league. Double regging is strictly forbidden. Any regiment that is caught using players that are a part of another regiment, no matter if they are a part of the cup or not will receive a penalty. These are decisions to be made by the staff of the EIC depending on the situation. If a player is played who is not part of the regiments steam group then the above penalties also apply.
| | Chat
All chat is allowed and welcomed. As long as it is either constructive or friendly in nature. Any silly instigation or general abuse will result in all chat being removed by the referee. Failure to abide by this rule will result in slays and if the individual(s) still cannot behave they will receive a temporary ban, if sever a match ban. Regiment leaders are welcomed to request no all chat if they wish, doesn't need to be agreed between both leaders.
| | Referee's
A referee's decision is final. They must be unbiased and will abide by the rules. Referees will pick maps and will make a final decision if both regiments cannot agree.
| | Server Admin
Every regiments leaders will have access to the admin password. You may ask for your 2iC to have it as well. You may only use it on your own regiment, unless if you are unable to find a ref, then you may ref the match yourself. Decide that among you and your opponent. ONLY if a video is recorded. No video, your complaints will be ignored.
