At the end of the game, replay has to be saved and named as ArenaDota_TEAM1vsTEAM2 by the winning team leader or one of the team members at least . Failure to do so will cause the game to be void and no winner will be declared for that game.
Important Rules.
Hero Selection Process:
Step 1: Referee will ask the two matched up teams to gather. Team that will start the selection process will have 10 sec to decide the selection of their first hero. After their first hero is selected the selection of hero will be pass over to the other team.
Step 2: The other team will also have 10 sec to decide their hero.
Step 3: This process will repeat till both teams selected their five heroes. Referee will record down the heroes selected by both teams.
Step 4: The two teams will go back to their seat and start the game. After game complete it's loading both teams are to select the heroes that they have earlier decided (heroes that are recorded down by the referee).
Step 5: If any team is found to have any hero which is selected differently from what was decided earlier, the referee has to be informed immediately. Team which made the mistake of selecting the wrong heroes after game starts will be penalised.
(Warning or Game Loss)
In any situation when any team did not select their heroes according to what they have decided, referee will use the heroes selection list recorded to verify if that team is guilty of making the mistake. Then referee award warning or game loss if the team is found guilty of making the wrong selection.
1. Manta Style (Warning or Game Loss) : The use of the Manta Style on Medusa is not allowed at any time in the game. Only 1 Manta Style is allowed to be purchased by each team per game. Even when the first Manta Style is sold, that team cannot purchase a second Manta Style. Any team who purchases more than one Manta Style in a single game will be given a warning and asked to discard the Manta Style if it is unused. However, if that second Manta Style has been used, the team will be penalized by our referee.
2. Teleport Backdooring (Warning or Game Loss): Teleporting directly into back of opponents' base or into the forest/trees area of opponents' base through the use of the Teleport Skill (from Furion) or Boots of Travel is banned. However, teleporting just outside opponent's base and walking in (including windwalking or blinking) is not considered back dooring and is hence allowed. “Base” here is defined as the area bordered by edge structures inside the base at both the Sentinel and Scourge side. The outer most two towers in each lane are not considered as border of base.
3. Trees Trapping (Disqualification): Any tactics that will trap enemies in trees intentionally is not allowed.
4. Pooling (Warning or Game Loss): No pooling of any sort is allowed. This means that items bought with a player's own money cannot at any time be carried by any of his teamates. Items bought with the player's own money can only be carried or sold by him. This rule only applies to players on the same team. Players can pick up items dropped by their opponents.
5. Time Stop Spell (Disqualification) : Morphling is not allowed to use the Time Stop spell copied from same team members.
6. Pause Abuse (Warning or Game Loss): During hero selection. From the point after hero selection process is completed, pausing without any valid reason is disallowed.
7. Creep Blocking (Disqualification): All types of creep blocking are disallowed.
8. Bugs Exploitation (Warning or Game Loss): No Exploitation of any known old or new bug discovered during play. Explanations like “exploiting/activating the bug unknowingly”, “we had no idea this bug existed” or similar excuses will not be entertained. Participants/Teams are expected to know what these are.
Note: If any team discovers that any of the above mentioned rules are broken by opponent, pause the game immediately and notify any of our referees about unsporting behavior of opponent. Referee will decide if the opponent is guilty of breaking the rule. If guilty, either a warning or a game loss will be given to the team guilty of the offence,. The referee's decision is final.
When given the first warning, the game will continue unless referee decides to restart the game. A second warning collected will cause an immediate game loss for that team in the game currently in session. Any team that continues breaking the rules will be disqualified and risk being blacklisted with a ban on the team and its team members.
However, if a false alarm is called, the team who raised the false alarm will risk being given a warning by the referee. The referee's decision will be final and is to be accepted by participants/teams without question or complaints.
