Additional Rules:

- all players have to record the games and the winner has to upload the replays on challonge

- all players need the ND "NoDraw" addon for Total Annihilation Zero (it prevents draw situations)

- In case of a disconnect the game has to be replayed, except the players can agree on a clear winner. If a player disconnects more than one time in the BO3 and the opponent disagrees to play a rematch, he lost the match.

- If both Commanders explode, the player whose death message is displayed first loses the game. If one player disagrees with the result, I decide whether there will be a rematch.

- in any case of disagreement or other problems contact me (TaShadan; Gameranger ID:636237)

- all games have to be played on Gameranger and all players Gameranger IDs have to be provided to me

- only maps in the mappool are allowed

- any hacking or cheating results in a disqualification

- +lostype command is forbidden

Important information:

Keep in mind that this game is still in late alpha stage which means there might be bugs.
One example is the false message "Player has cheats enabled: invisible"

I will upload the best games on youtube. I try to cast as well but my english sucks. If i am ok with the quality of the cast i will upload the games with cast. Unfortunately i cannot offer a live stream because my upload sucks.
I will also release a replay pack including all games.
If you download the Zero ND pack (link above) you will be able to watch replays too.

Updated the keys you can choose from. I will also close registration on friday + shuffle the grid and add start maps for each round.

Cross-marketing, probably. There are OTA players in the ZK playerbase, so it makes sense to reach out to them.
