    A nice note we got today, that's the spirit!
    "I am a complete novice at playing online, mostly played against the AI. I just want to participate for the experiance and fun, and so there are more participants for your tournament."

    The document states you follow the gentleman guidelines but at no point states what these are.

    The System Sharing Mod looks to be required but isn't listed as a requirement.

    Forbidding people from viewing the stream of the caster covering their game should probably be in the rules.

    As only one player is supposed to report a match outcome you should probably just make it a rule that the winner is responsible for the report to simplify matters and that in the event of a tie the players decide between them.

    I would strongly advise that you rule ahead of time how crashes and disconnects are to be handled ahead of time to avoid "it's not fair X won, my PC crashed!"

    "Complains" on the report form should be "Complaints"

    I don't know if Google forms allows this, but some means of attaching evidence for complaints would be handy e.g. screenshots.

    1) Removed the gentleman guidelines for now.
    2) System Sharing Mod is not required, the planet generation details will be published. You can use the SSM for easy job so you do not have to render the planets yourself.
    3) The delay on the stream will be at least 2 minutes, shouldn't be an issue. But I will add it to the rules.
    4) Fixed that so the winner shall post it.

    It's sad to think that my current ranking on the scoreboard is the best it will be ;)

    Just to say I added a further three points to the post after you started writing your reply.

    Also the ? by the "Tie-break score" on the scoreboard doesn't do anything for me on Chrome except add a # to the URL.

    The crashes, well people can try to log back. I believe that currently a black screen means a rehost and crash during a game is just - well your bad and you can try to get back to game and reconnect. Server crashes are probably not going to happen hopefully, I havent seen one for ages.

    Attaching a screenshot, well I think people can just use imgur and link it you know. No direct upload is possible.

    I fixed the typo.

    Also added how long games are handled. Games only last up to the deadline, which is 40 minutes. Games lasting longer than this time are automatic ties.

    2 days left for sign ups, make sure you DID post your application (I have no clue, who can you make sure you did ... probably close your eyes and go to past in your mind and try to remember if you filled it in).

    There are still slots to be taken, so go for it!
