  • Players can’t use resurrection skills and Revival Scrolls in the arena. A team will be given 1 foul for every Revival Scroll discovered on a team member upon entering the Arena. If this fact is discovered immediately after the team of the offending character wins a round, the results of that round will be declared null and void.
  • Once the Time Over signal is given, players must immediately take their hands off the mouse and keyboard, except to perform the actions in the next item.
  • Players who have an opponent targeted when the Time Over signal is given must cancel their action and move away from any opponents before taking their hands off the mouse and keyboard (Press the Esc button three times). A player has 5 seconds to comply with this rule. Failure to comply will result in one (1) foul assigned per offending team member.

 

Point System:

  • A point is scored if a team wipes out the opposing team within the time limit.
  • A point is scored if a team has more surviving members after the time is up.
  • The first team to receive 2 points wins, and advances to the next round.
  • If both teams have the same number of surviving members after time is up, the match will end in a tie.
  • In the case of a tie, both teams will receive 1 point, with the following exception:
    • If a tie will result in both teams receiving 2 points, both teams will instead fight a Sudden Death match.

 

Sudden Death Match:

  • The Sudden Death match duration is 120 seconds (2 minutes).
  • The first team to kill a member of the opposing team wins the Sudden Death match and will receive 1 point.
  • If neither team manages to kill a member of the opposing team within 120 seconds (2 minutes), the result of the match will be decided with a coin toss.

 

Additional Rules:

  • Fouls are accumulated throughout the Phoenix Council Wars tournament, and will not be reset. Fouls earned during the Dynasty Wars leg will be carried on to the Final 8 and the Grand Finals.

  • If issues arise that are not covered by the existing rules, the Tournament Judge or PW GM team will decide on that matter. GMs decision is always final.
