If server issues cause a missed battle, the battle will be rescheduled by tournament admins to reproduce the missing match. Visit the Skirmish forums for the latest information. Teams must allow up to 30 minutes for a scheduled round to initiate. If the match remains missing after 30 minutes, the match will be rescheduled another day. Map settings cannot be adjusted once a special battle is initiated. Map settings become valid as they stand once a special battle initiates and are valid toward point accumulation.   Other Warnings and Disqualifications All penalties may take into account the severity of the violation, resulting in greater consequences. Teams can be disqualified from future Skirmishes and Wargaming tournaments for unsportsmanlike conduct including, but not limited to, foul language, racism, profanity, disrespect of an official, streamer or caster. Teams can be disqualified for intentionally using any prohibited bugs, exploits, hacks or are found to be utilizing unfair methods of competition by the tournament administration. All warnings are final. A second warning for any other infraction of the rule-set is grounds for immediate removal pending an investigation by the tournament administration.   Skirmish Settings Standard Skirmish Settings Game Mode: Conditional Team Size: Conditional Substitutions: Players may be substituted freely between battles within a round, but must be on the roster at the start of the competition Battle duration: Each battle will last a maximum of 10 minutes; if there is not a winner within the time limit, the battle will be considered a draw Schedule: The Skirmish schedule will be finalized at the close of registration, once the final team count has been determined Restrictions: There are no restrictions placed on equipment, consumables, crew or ammo.   Variable Skirmish Settings The below settings may change with each individual Skirmish and will be announced with the start of registration.
