Welcome to the STK-SuperTournament!

6.1 Tournament structure
This tournament will be played in "each against each" mode, which means that each of the N teams will play once against each other team.

Winning one out of 3 games gives 1-0 points into game points column, so in a match where one team wins all 3 games, this team gets 3-0 game points. A draw gives 1-1 game points.

Winning a whole match gives 3 points into points column, a draw gives 1 and a loss 0. In the end, the team with most points wins, if there are teams with the same number of points, game points decide.

6.2 Match structure
Every match consists of 3 games, each played with 7 minutes time limit:

Game 1 on Icy Soccer Field

Game 2 on Soccer-Field, Las-Dunas or any Addon (players vote for addons before tournament)

Game 3 on Wood-Warbler-Soccer or any Addon

Before the tournament starts, an addon folder will be linked on the website. The addon folder consists of the 5 most selected addons in the registration form and the new SuperTournament-Field called Wood Warbler Soccer. Wood-Warbler-Soccer and 4 of 5 addons in this folder are required to play the tournament games.

6.3 Substitutions
A missing player can be replaced by a substitute if both players have comparable skills in the position-based ranking. In case that the substitute is much stronger than the missing player, the substitute should restore the balance by chosing a different kart. If not enough matching substitutes are found, the game can also be played as 2 vs 2.

6.4 Referee
Every match should have at least one referee who e.g. decides what happens in critical situations. To be referee, tell organizers.
Commands for referees:

/game X Y : Starts game number X with Y minutes.

/setfield addon-id : Sets the chosen addon. Currently not needed because done automatically.

/setkart kart-id player : Give players a particular kart (punishment or balance).

/stop and /go : Stop and restart a game.

/lobby : To make players go to lobby.

/init R B : After restarting a game, inserting the current count where R is red team's score and B blue team's.

/yellow P R : Gives a yellow card to player P with reason R.

/addon , /server , /notes and /video : Update the match details on wiki.

Also the referee should follow the following guidelines:

The match starts at the match time written in the match plan. If players come late, the referee is supposed to find suitable substitutes or start a match as 2vs2. If this is not possible, the referee has the option to wait for the delayed players (in case other players agree) or to reschedule the match. A live-join into a running match should only be allowed if only players enter but nobody leaves. Anyway the referee is allowed to take any action regarding this point if it helps the team balance.

The game is only stopped if a player disconnects, is obviously unable to play or directly asks for a break.

If the number of players is incomplete after loading a map, the referee should wait maximal a half minute or use the lobby command immediatelly to restart the match.

If time is wasted during a match the referee should keep this time in mind to add additional time later. The wasted time is rounded to integer numbers of minutes. For wasted times below one minute the referee has the right to skip additional time in case the match is already clearly decided.

6.5 Punishments
Referees can give yellow cards to misbehaving players:

If a player comes more than 5 minutes too late to a match.

If a player keeps insulting other players.

If a player does gamethrowing, such as leaving the game without reason or purposely playing against their own team.

Note that the referee will always warn the misbehaving player before giving a yellow card.
Yellow cards result in punishments:

Two yellow cards mean that the player has to play the next game with Tux.

The third yellow card means that the next game has to be played with Gnu.

The fourth yellow card means that the next game has to be played with Pidgin.

After five yellow cards the player misses the next match and is not substituted.

In case someone keeps misbehaving seriously, organizers have the right to show a red card to this player which means disqualifying them from the tournament.

If a player doesnt show up at matches and ignoring messages of organizers after or seems inactive/unreliable, the player can be forced to be subsitute and replaced through a former substitute which promotes to a player. This action is only taken by organizers and mostly in the first matches.
