-if both teams fail to show up in the designated time, they both will get 0 for that match and 5 point penalty.
-all teams need to show up with at least 5 members.

You will get a default loss if you don't show up. This will be counted as a walkover awarded to the team present at that time. In addition, the team that fails to show up will be penalized 5 points (along with the walkover).

Penalties Awarded:
Warning: After warning is given games goes on. If three warnings are accumulated then the team will be disqualified from the tournament upon receiving the third warning.

Game Loss: Game loss given to a team means that the team loses the current game no matter what is the result of that game. A win would be awarded to opponent instead.

Disqualifications: A team disqualified will be ejected from the tournament. They will not be able to further continue the current event

[CvP]

I have two questions.

What happens with these warnings? nothing mentioned about that.

Why there's a restriction of Shiva, Meka and Orchid? afaik, these items are not/will not be restricted in international tourneys.

[SinEater]

Meka and Orchid is restricted. And these rules have been there since the start of the league, so let them be. CvP, please see to it that this and the one posted in the DotA Tournament section is the same. My net sucks.

And can we move the tournament/league section to the DotA section? It reqally doesn't make any sense.

[CvP]

no, they are not same. I'll see what i can do.

however, these three statements dont go with each other. expecting a correction.

Teams must ban 4 heroes each.
skip the chance
6heroes can be taken out before the drafting session happens.

I do not understand what you are meaning actually.
move the "DotA Tournaments" forums from Tourney&League Central to "DotA" Category?
isn't there a link already?
