The draft link must be shared in the Meta Plays Discord.
No repeat leaders in a series.
Otherwise, any leader within with the pool of the players' own picks may be used.
You may not use a leader from your opponent's pick pool (ergo there are no mirror matchups).
If you pick an invalid leader, your opponent picks any leader for you, and for themselves.
This penalty comes without restrictions, opening up access to banned and already used up leaders to both sides.
No node strat- do not take nodes without the intent of killing Sentinels.
Exception: you can draw the Sentinels to attack an enemy minibase or units, and still capture the node.
Exception: Cannon Fodder can take nodes any way you want.
Players must use in-game chat or DMs to notify casters of the node-strat.
Casters will need to confirm for validity.
Mild cases of node strat will result in a warning (eg accidental retreats).
3 warnings will result in a match loss.
Severe cases of node strat will result in a match loss (eg purposefully forced capture or cloak-based node strat).
Resigning without admin permission will be counted as a loss.
1 hour time limit.
If base and slot building count is even/very close, and neither player has a large army advantage, the game is a draw.
If one player has an army advantage, casters will send a final attack prompt. The outcome of this last attack determines whether a winner or a draw is called, based on the base/slot building count afterwards.
Draws result in both teams receiving a point on the scoreboard.
If one player has a clear base and slot building count advantage and their opponent is not in a position to even out the game with the next attack, the player with more slot buildings wins.
Replay match if the series ends on tie. The previous loser picks map in this case.
No cheating or intentional exploiting of any form allowed.
Depending on severity, penalties may range from match loss or disqualification to long-term or even permanent bans.
Hosting
Game 1 will be hosted by Mar, and then players will alternate host.

Within the first 3 minutes of the game, the player must type into the game chat, or notify the casters in DMs.
Casters will need to confirm for validity.
If the glitch is verified, an admin restart will be issued.
If the glitch is not verified, the game should continue.
Resigning without admin permission will be counted as a loss.
In the event of a disconnection or crash:
If the game was relatively even:
If all parties crash, re-play the game.
The game doesn't count for score in the first instance. The player who didn't disconnect may choose a new map, and both players may choose a new leader.
In the second instance, the player who didn't disconnect receives a point on the score board.
In the third instance, the player who didn't disconnect wins the series.
If both sides crash 3 times, reset PC/Xbox and internet.
If a player was significantly ahead:
Admin win is awarded for the match for all cases.
In the third instance, the player who didn't disconnect wins the series.
Johnson/Jerome crash:
The Johnson/Jerome player loses.
In the event of both players causing a crash, we will treat this case as a disconnect and follow rules around them.
