    2. IRC Channels
      1. The tournament largely relies on IRC to convey tournament updates so please ensure you have a copy installed. A client may be downloaded here.
      2. #cnc3 - The general CnC3 channel for the i-series event. All admins will be opped, so please direct your queries to these people. Please be patient for a reply as we may be either in a game or dealing with other issues and may be away from our desk.
    3. Match Starts
      1. The match may not begin before the admin is ready. Players must be in the server 5 minutes before the scheduled start time of the match. If a match is still in progress on your allocated server, await authorisation from an admin before joining the server. If any player fails to show up 10 minutes after the scheduled match start, the match will be forfeit and the opposing player will be awarded the win. The only acceptable excuses for missing the scheduled start of a match are:
        • Network failure
        • Power failure
        • Previous match overrunning
    4. Demos & Screenshots
      1. All players must record replays of the whole match.
      2. Replays must be kept until the result has been accepted on the tournament system.
  6. Game-play Rules
    1. Cheating
      1. It is not allowed to take advantage of or abuse bugs. Any kind of bug abuse is considered cheating and will lead to a forfeit loss, unless otherwise mentioned specifically in the game-related rules.
      2. All programs or files, either changed game files or new files, that change the game or add to its functionality, or which interact with the game in any way, are strictly forbidden. Modified versions of the game’s resource files are always forbidden, regardless of what they do. The use of any forbidden program or file by any player member during a match, leads to a forfeit loss, and could lead to a removal and ban from the i-Series in major cases.
      3. Programs that do not interact with the game in any way are allowed, even if they can be used and operated simultaneously with the game. Voice communication and Instant Messenger programs are examples of such programs.
      4. The use of illegal binds or hardware macros that simulate timed button presses is prohibited.
