DF Throwdown

Hey guys, here's the poster info for the tourney. Hope to see ya there! :

:] See ya thuuuuurrrrrrrrrrr.

This is this Sat! Are you ready?!

For all you vZ fellers and ladies who have horses in the race, here is the rule set we are using for the DF Throwdown tournament. We're posting it on all applicable forums so everyone knows what to expect from the referees. It's mostly common sense BS that everyone knows already but we'd like to cover all the bases.

• When a player executes an illegal move, they may remain in the lead, but are expected to stop trapping until the pursuing player either escapes or is killed.
  
  
• Kills caused by illegal moves will not be awarded points.
  
  
• If a player is killed by an illegal move, they are respawned by a referee and the score is adjusted. If their death causes the match to end, the score is adjusted but no respawn is necessary.
  
  
• Excessive use of illegal moves after being warned is grounds for a referee to smite a player from the current match.
  
  
• When escaping, a player may do anything and everything in their power to survive short of camping and back dooring (see exclusions below).
  
  
• Stabbing/digging
  
  Steering your cycle into a line (cycle wall) thus using rubber and sealing the path for any pursuing players is an illegal move. No points awarded. Note: Stabbing or digging on any player's line to gain the lead over another player as you would on the rim is also an illegal move.
  
  
• Flat Hooks/Traps/Tunnels
  
  If the hook/trap/tunnel is more than half flat (or less than half the width of a full double bind) according to ref's judgement, then it is an illegal move. No points awarded.
  
  
• Back Doors
  
  Back dooring (retreating from a clean/legal trap by reversing direction to avoid it) is illegal. Back dooring is only legal to avoid a flagrantly illegal move such as a seal or heavy stab where attempting escape means almost certain death.
  
  
• Rim Stabbing/Digging
  
  Stabbing or digging on the rim to gain the lead over another player is illegal. Stabbing or digging on any player's line to gain the lead over another player is also illegal.
  
  
• Sammies
  
  Two teammates may attack an opponent from both sides creating a trap sandwich, or sammie. You may only use a back door to escape from a sammie if the attacking players seal the path with an illegal move.
  
  
• Line Traps
  
  To discourage accidental stabs, when hooking or tunneling on a flat line, a player may not contact the line with any amount of rubber whatsoever, half flat or otherwise. Clean line trapping is legal, but not very effective and/or smart.
  

Thank you Vibe! Cleared up a couple questions we had. :]
