Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition

• Map Arabia. Each player picks any civilisation.
• Spectators are allowed, with a delay of 2 minutes. Watching your own match from a second account is a dispute.
• A player disconnects in the first 5 minutes of a game: restart it once, with the same civilisations and colours.
• A later disconnect loses the game, unless both agree to restart.

• Tournaments are one lobby match: every player is in one lobby of 3 to 8, split evenly at the draw (9 players: 5 and 4). Each lobby plays one game; nobody moves on.
• A diplomacy game: everyone starts alone, Lock Teams off, Allied Victory on. Alliances can be made and broken during the game.
• Victory: Time Limit, 2 hours. Allies still standing when it ends, or when everyone else is defeated, share place 1; everyone else ranks by the order they were defeated.
• Map Arabia, any civilisation, population 200. Map size by players: 2 Tiny, 3 Small, 4 Medium, 5–6 Normal, 7–8 Large.
• The league names each lobby and sets its password at the draw; both show on the tournament page to the lobby's players only.
• One player reports the places with a screenshot of the end screen, within 1 hour after the time limit; a tournament director confirms. A shared place 1 splits its prize equally.
