II) Rules
A) Pairing
1) All teams must consist of two and only two posters.
2) Any WZ member that composes one-half of a team must be an active member of WZ and must show that they approve of their partner and their team name. In order to enforce this rule, the organizers of this Tournament will be asking that both members of each participating team state in this Tournament’s Sign-Up sheet both whom their partner will be and what their team-name will be. Although this is redundant, the organizers of this Tournament wish to have the written consent of all WZ members participating.
3) Save for those mentioned in Pairing Rule 2, there are no restrictions on which WZ member one may team with.
B) Enrollment
1) As already mentioned in the Organization section, this tournament shall either consist of 16 or 24 teams. Participation within this Tournament shall be decided on a first come, first serve, basis. Thus, only the first 16 teams to sign-up for this Tournament shall be guaranteed a spot. The participation of those teams that sign-up after the first 16 teams is contingent upon the organizers of this Tournament finding additional teams to ensure that the Tournament shall have 24 participating teams. Furthermore, no more openings shall be available should there be 24 teams already participating.
C) Voting
1) All WZ members are eligible to vote once per match-up, and their vote shall count for one point. If there is a match in which a WZ member has already voted in and in which a tie is initially declared, said member may vote once again to help determine the winner of this match, and their vote shall count for one point.
2) Every vote placed must be written thus: Vote: Team Name. If a vote is not placed in such a fashion, it will not be counted.
3) No reasons are necessary for the way a WZ member votes, although listing reasons is certainly encouraged.
4) Any WZ member participating within this Tournament who is found to be bribing for votes shall automatically be disqualified along with their teammate. There will be no exceptions to this rule.
D) Complaints
1) All complaints regarding the Tournament shall be addressed to the Manager of this Tournament, 48.7, in the form of a Private Message (PM). After considering the merit of a complaint, the Manager shall act accordingly.
2) If a participant in this Tournament makes a complaint regarding this Tournament in one of the threads in this Tournament’s sub-forum, the Manager reserves the right to disqualify this participant and their teammate should they still be active within this Tournament. Also, the Administrators of WrestleZone Forums also reserve the right to imprison any active or inactive Tournament participant who makes a complaint regarding this Tournament in one of the threads in this Tournament’s sub-forum.
