      <title>DoTA Tournament Mechanics</title>
      <description>&lt;br /&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;DoTA Tournament Mechanics&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Mode: Pick Ban - The two opposing teams will alternately choose their Heroes to be used before the game starts. After each Hero pick, the team also chooses a hero to be banned, and that banned Hero can not be used by the other team. The other team then also chooses a Hero to be used and a Hero to be banned. This will be done until 5 Heroes to be used and 3 Heroes to be banned are choosen by each team. Toss coin determines which team chooses first.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. One (1) hour time limit. After the time limit if the team acquires Mega Creeps then they will be declared as the winner. After the allotted time there is still not a winning team, then the team with the highest number of towers remaining at this stage will be declared the winner. If there is a tie on tower kills, then the team with the highest number of kills will be declared the winner. If there is still a tie at this point, then there will be Team Face-off Phase. Each team's goal is to eliminate all of the other players heroes. The last team standing wins!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. The game will be saved every 15 mins. If a player (or players) gets disconnected once, the game will be loaded back based on the saved state and the game will resume. If disconnection of players occurs more than once, the match will keep going and it will be treated as bad luck. Technical problems also apply.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. In the event of a situation not covered by the rules the Contest Organizer will make a decision on the issue, in keeping with the spirit of a just tournament and the interests of fairness.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Registration fee: &lt;b&gt;P 300/ team&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</description>
