Lobby Rules

Who creates the lobby?

 * If your match is a broadcasted match, the casting team will create the lobby and do the coin toss for you. Check the Livestream page for this information.
 * If not, captains have to contact each other and create the lobby between themselves. It is EXTREMELY important that you follow the rules described below.

Starting team
To be decided by a coin toss.
 * Use the ingame command "/flip" after each team picks Heads or Tails
 * Winner of coin flip: Chooses to pick Radiant/Dire or 1st Pick/2nd Pick
 * Loser of coin flip: Chooses the other.
 * After both are decided, the teams move to their correct starting side, and the Lobby Owner sets "STARTING TEAM" the team who chose 1st pick: Radiant or Dire.

Spectating:

 * Make sure to set "SPECTATORS" as "ENABLED" & DOTA TV DELAY as "5 MINUTES"

Series type:

 * For the Group Stages, choose Best of 3 - If first game: leave it blank. If second game: update the result. Linking the match ID is not mandatory, but make sure to record all MatchID after the games are finished.

After the match

 * 1) Take a Screenshot of the end-screen with the Picks and Match ID visible. (new!)
 * 2) Communicate result to Arthur (Mail or Skype as long as I get the file!)
