SEE RULES 1.6 and 2.5 TO INSURE THAT YOUR TEAM DOES NOT RECEIVE A FORFEIT LOSS.
1.4 Connections            
The MLTDM is an open ping event, and as such all connections are accepted and legal. However, a person can NOT be on a LAN with the server.
1.5 Servers            
The admin for your match has a list of pre-approved MLTDM servers. These servers have been verfied as meeting with MLTDM standards beforehand and will be the only servers used for this event. It will be up to the admin to determine which server is most fair for all those involved and his decision is final.

Approved MLUT Servers:
PLEASE CONTACT AN ADMIN TO DONATE A SERVER
1.6 Player Eligibility            
A player is only allowed to play for the team that he is listed with on the MLTDM website. Teams are allowed to make any legal roster changes right up until match time in order to ensure a full roster. If a team is found to be using a ringer (i.e. a player not on their roster), they will be disqualified from the tournament.
1.7 Spectators            
There will be 2 spectator spots open for all matches. 1 spot is for the admin and one is for uTv. If the admin is serving in both functions, the server will be switched to 1 spectator spot.

Note: When TIW is enabled you will need to make sure your minigun and pulse binds are changed so they work with it:
Minigun bind: key=switchweapon 7
Pulse bind: key=switchweapon 5

2. MLTDM Rules            

2.1 Captain Selection            
Captains will be selected from a list of applicants by the admins. Captains will be required to:

a) Name his/her team.
b) Vote on captain topics in the captains forum.
c) Draft a competitive team to the best of their abilities.
d) Assign an assistant captain to handle captain duties when they are not available.
e) Maintain the teams roster.
f) Set lineups for each map. (if both the captain and the assistant captain are unavailable, it is up to the player with the highest salary)
2.2 Captain Replacement            
If 4 or more players on a team agree to the replacement of a captain it is done. The player (of the 4 or more) with the highest salary is then appointed captain or can appoint another player from the team as captain.
2.3 Team Creation            
Each team will will consist of 7 players. They will be accquired through a draft process on IRC using a bot. The draft order will be decided by lottery and will use the snake format. The player pool will consist of a max of 200 players. This will result in a freeagent pool of 88 players of varying values. Each team will have a salary cap that they can not exceed but also must maintain a roster of 7 players.
2.4 Player Salaries            
All players will be listed with a corresponding salary based on rank. Each ADMIN will submit a list ranking the player pool of 200 players to the best of their abilities from 1-200. The 9 ADMINS list's combined and the players will receive a total rank from 1-200 and then be given a salary based on a graduated pay scale. We are positive that the ADMINS alike will make mistakes in the ranking of the players, but we hope that the list will average out to close to correct after the 9 lists are combined.
2.5 Transactions            
Captains and assistant captains can add/drop players from their roster at anytime using the MLUT website. However, teams must remain under the salary cap and also must maintain a 7 player roster. Teams may not trade during a match (i.e. before the second map or third) all trading must be done before or after a match. Trading between teams is not allowed at this time.
2.6 Player Holdout            
A player can holdout if they wish. Meaning if they do not wish to play for a team that they have been selected to, they can remove themselves and be added back to the freeagent list. If a player becomes a holdout, they are removed from their team, placed in the freeagent list, and will have 50% added on to their salary.
2.7 Conflict Resolution            
Any and all problems will be resolved by a vote. All admins have 1 vote and can choose not to vote if they so please. In the hopes of keeping things moving, all open votes have a 24hr window in which admins can place their vote.
3. Illegal Actions            
NAUGHTY
3.1 Server Admin            
If a player logs in as a server administrator prior to a match, the player must log out as server administrator when complete, and also reconnect to the server. At no time may a player log in as administrator during the match unless asked by an MLUT admin.
3.2 Cheats            
All hacks, bots, radars and cheats are of course illegal, please use your brain asshats.

Players may not use any skins other than those included in Unreal Tournament. Players may not alter the appearance of any of these skins by any means.
3.7 Asterix            
Anyone proven to break any of the above rules will be removed from the tournament. The admins also reserve the right to alter any rule in anyway they see fit if there is a passing admin vote. This is to protect the integrity of the tournament in case of a loophole or something being overlooked.
