    Need input on tournament rules

    So pretty soon we're going to start doing tournaments. I've got a list of rules from d2jsp that look decent, ive changed them slightly to work better for a 1v1 tournament here. Looking for input if anything should be changed for these rules to be tailored specifically to annihilus, or if there's anything obvious missing from them.

    We will do 2v2+ tournaments as well, I just want to start with 1v1 for now.


    General Rules:

    - No hack of any kind.
    - Players must be off each others map before either player says 'Go'.
    - Both players must say 'Go' to begin the round.
    - No Traps / Missiles / Curses / Attacks of any kind may be casted prior to both players saying 'Go'.
    - Blood Moor should be cleared before any duel starts. If not, any monster attacks, curses or mana potion dropped from them will be part of the battle.
    - Duels take place in Blood Moor in hell difficulty.
    - Duels are first to three wins.

    - Refusal to do any appropriate tests if a player suspect you to use one or many hacks will result in a disqualification.
    - Prebuffing is not allowed unless items used stay in the inventory of the player who used them. (Having a cube in your inventory is allowed).
    - Items which contain spell charges are allowed, but the use of the charges is not.
    - Extended use of houses (stay more than 5 seconds in a house) will result in a disqualification.
    - Spamming messages to annoy other players is not allowed.
    - Using long messages over your head (!message) once a round is started will result in a disqualification.
    - Maximum Life Replenish is 40 (53 for Barbarians).
    - Each player can use one timeout of 5 minutes between two rounds (this may happen only once).
    - Sorceress may not use more than 10 bmanas (70-15 small charms).
    - No immunity glitching.
    - Players can't use more than one poison charm in their inventory.
    - If a player has spectators in game, the other player has the right to force them to leave the game.

    i will not duel because of this rule:

    Items which contain spell charges are allowed, but the use of the charges is not.

    way too restrictive if i cant use what i have found

    Bone prison + iron maiden charges, or combos of the sort restrict this. It only makes sense not to allow something so silly.

    You're still allowed to use the items, just not the charges on the items.

    If it's a Mediated tournament, as we all know Spectating can be useful here.

    So as for the charges not being allowed, I can see the reasoning just fine however feel it would be better necessary to compile a specific list of the skill charges not allowed on certain char types.

    Is it more work? yes.

    Does it enhance dueling experience, making it more intense? well, yes of course!

    Just my input
