EDL Season 1

Hello everyone!

We are finally bringing you the first season of Extreme Dota 2 League (http://extremedota2league.com/) that wants to gather teams from Europe in one place and see who will win the first place of this edition.

Registration

The Sign-ups are open for everyone and the number of teams is not limited.

Schedule and match reporting

There will be eight weeks of best of two matches every Thursday and Sunday. It is acceptable for teams to come to an agreement on a different time that works for BOTH teams. If no agreement can be made, the games will be played at the time admins have chosen. After seven weeks, the top ranked teams will compete in 1 a week of play-off series to be the winner of the league.
An admin will make sure to contact and add the captain of each team. After the game, you will have to report the match results to the admin.

Stand-ins

Stand-ins are totally allowed. If you are having trouble filling your roster for the season, or just one night, please check the recruitment section.

Presence & Punctuality

If one team has not shown up, no team member has joined the lobby, and all other attempts to contact the team failed, then the opponents should report that 15 minutes after the match time. A default win for both games will be confirmed by an admin under normal circumstances.
If one team is not ready to start the match (but has shown activity), the opponents should report that 30 minutes after the match time. A default win for the first game will be confirmed by an admin under normal circumstances. The teams still have to stay online and play the second game. If the same team is still not ready to play 60 minutes after the match time, the opponents should request a default win for the second game.

Game Settings

Game Mode: Captains Mode
Version: Tournament
Spectators: Enabled
Cheats: Disabled
Servers : The default server location is Luxembourg. Other servers are used, if both teams agree or the administration decides on it.

Pauses

Teams are allowed to pause up to three times per match. The opposing team must respect each pause for a minimum of three minutes, after which they are free to unpause whenever they want.

General rules

Nobody is allowed to ask for an admin.
The players are not allowed to watch or listen to any of these video streams or DotaTV at any time during their match. Furthermore, they are not allowed to provide a stream themselves, unless there is no official broadcaster inside the game.
If any serious bugs occur, the game has to be paused immediately and the administration decides on how to continue. Abusing a bug is forbidden.
If a player disconnects, the game is to be paused instantly. Everyone has up to ten minutes to reconnect to the game (if the same person disconnects more than once, all times get added up). If the allocated time has passed, the opposing team may continue the game, unless an admin demands the opposite. The affected player is in this case still allowed to rejoin later on.
Every participant has to show the needed respect towards referees and other participants. Insults and unfair or disrespectful behaviour towards anyone is not tolerated and will be punished.

Prize Pool

The prize pool will be consistent from 40% total of the amount of tickets sold and from donations. Anything over 100 USD at donations will be added to the prize pool.

Rule Violation & Punishment
Temporary/Permanent ban from the competition.
May the best team win and don't forget, push your limits to extreme!

Bests regards,
elekTra.
