All that is required of you is for your team to turn up to matches in the scheduled time (or default).
Prize for the winning team : donator status + 1/2 of the donation pot and being a member of the (wL) CSS Champions group.
Group Stage :
During the Group Stage, teams will be split into their groups according to the average RWS of the 5 starting members. Teams will play a best of 1 (Double elimination). Normal Tournament rules are in place. Maps and sides will be chosen through veto. 1 Match per day (7th to 9th)

Rules:
1. Teams will have to consist of at least 5 members . There can be only 2 backup/sub per team to maximize the teams number.
2. Teams will have to play the match against their opposition on the scheduled date (or default). Failure to do so will result in a forfeit of the Game.
3. A player can register to only 1 lineups.
4. You can edit your Line-ups until the registration period is over.
5. There will be no spectators in the server. Only way to watch the match is through SourceTV. This will prevent ghosting from spectators. (There will be an admin online to set the server up.)
6. There will be a ping limit of 250.
7. Only players with at least 2 months played here in the last year can register for the tournament (or reliable esea and league history).
8. The Standard War-lords Rule will also be applied.
Etiquette
You must behave professionally during the tournament since it's meant to be serious. No whining about registry, p90, teammates, strategy, cheating, etc or starting flame wars/arguments during matches. No forfeiting or ragequitting matches either. Even if it's 15-0, you're expected to finish every match.
Pauses
Each player on a team can pause the match once for 60 seconds. Pauses can be extended by having a teammate or opponent use their pause. Do not use !pause unless you need to use it (strategy, emergency bathroom, internet drop, etc). In general, it's better to take bathroom breaks during half time than using !pause. Pauses take place during freezetime or the next round's freezetime.
Gameplay
Typical league rules are also in effect. This means certain gameplay isn't permitted, such as:
certain spots (de_train, de_tuscan, etc). The boosts on de_inferno are fine.
crouch spamming (standing and ducking repeatedly and rapidly on bomb or gun fights).
illegal defuses (you must have clear line of sight. obviously excluding barrels/teammates/flashes/smokes)
Standard War-Lords rules apply for areas not covered here.
Failure to abide by these rules will result in bans from future War-Lords events in addition to an in-game ban.
