Duel Events Rules

These rules do not usually warrant warnings/bans; however, if failed to follow the general rules, an exemption will be made.

Team Registration

The following rules must be observed during team registration:

• Only Slifer and above ranks will be able to start of a team (Including staff)
  
• A team must have a minimum of 6 members and a maximum of 12 (It may increase, depending on the academy population) for a team to be considered valid by an assistant (Since assistants are also treated as war adjudicators)
  
• Name of the team must NOT contain anything that will break our academy rules
  
• The team, once validated, will have their topic moved to the Teams Hub so do not post after the war adjudicator has approved and has not moved the topic yet
  
• The format below must be followed on registering (Auto-forms will not be applied to promote freedom of speech - on a regulated basis)

Teams Hub

The following rules must be observed once the team has been approved:

• You may bump your topic only ONCE a day if you are promoting anything
  
• You are not allowed to post twice in the topic unless an interval of 24 hours has elapsed
  
• You are free to post anything, YouTube videos, imgur.com pictures, etc. so as long as it does not promote advertising for outside academies and harmful contents that would destroy someone(some) integrity or promote defamatory content (See [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.])
  

Academy Wars Registration

These rules will be applicable to academy challengers:

Academy Wars

During the duration of the war duel, the following must be observed in posting/during war duels in the official war topic:

• A screenshot or a confirmation would be the only things that can confirm a duel if it happened unless both parties decide on different things
  
• No posting of external links other than imgur.com pictures (Unless NEEDED)
  
• No flaming from both parties (Defamatory content posted on our site will result in the immediate cancellation of the war as we do not want to take things on a personal scale)
  
• STRICT PROFESSIONAL attitudes must be observed during war duels so we expect that both parties have participants who do NOT take their personal crap in war duels
  

General Tournament Rules

These rules are limited so that a huge variety of tournaments would be created:

• Each tournament (Except Quick) done by any staff or normal members must undergo a screening so it should be posted in Tournament Proposal first
