Can I have a funname to play with during the WS?

No, to avoid any confusion you need to play with your GR name.

Do I have to use ACETON during the WS? (What is ACETON?)

Yes, you have and there will be no exception tolerated. Post your problem with this program as soon as possible in the Tech Forums or get help on the ACETON-site http://www.aceton-project.de/contact/!

What will happen if the game ends in a disconnect, crash or mismatch?

Get back into the lobby as quickly as possible and arrange that one of the organizers gets the replay the quickest way. It will be then decided, if the game got won or if it needs to be played again.

What do I need to do if the game lags annoying hard?

We appeal here on common sense of any competitor. Don't make it more complicated as it already is: leave the game and try it again.

Do I need to save any replays?

Yes, we really please you to save your played games and to post them in the Replay System. Replay-titles will be renamed, probably.

If I'm not taking part in the WS, how can I track the course?

Therefore, a specific topic will be portalized. So, all replays will be available to download. Moreover, an image of the current standings will be available to be retrieved.

Who are my contact persons in case of any organization problems/questions?

You can either contact -SkaTeR- or Trixx.

Good luck, Generals!
