Playing your games

Grounds for removal from a tournament

  • If you have been excluded from all tournaments previously, and we find you competing in the tournament, you will be removed from the tournament
  • If you are banned from this website, and we find you competing in a tournament, you will be removed from the tournament and once again banned from the site
  • If you get someone to log on to your account and play your games for you, both you AND the person who logged on to your account to play the games in question will be removed from the tournament
  • If you are found to be using any sort of cheat, you will be removed from the tournament, excluded from all future tournaments, and banned from the site
  • If you are using more than 1 account to play in the tournament, all of those accounts which you are playing under will be removed from the tournament
  • If you deliberately uninstall TWC so as to prevent your opponent from using a TWC civilization, you will be removed from the tournament

Prizes
