Welcome to the Rules page of the Nations' Cup!
The Wikipedia Nations' Cup is an effort to get editors working together, increase productivity, and, most importantly, have fun while editing. As such, the rules outlined below are to be strictly followed.
Country selection[change source]
- At the start of the cup, each entrant chooses a country. A country can only have two editors at a time. If both of the country's slots are taken, the editor will have to choose a new one. Judges may change the editor's country after telling them about it, but strictly MAY NOT disqualify or penalize an entrant for choosing an already-taken country.
- If a user decides to give up, their position is effectively open until their former teammate can find a new co-editor.
Editing and points[change source]
- From the start of the competition, all edits a user makes will be counted toward their points until they either win, finish the competition, drop out, or get eliminated.
- Judges will be in charge of keeping score. Any editor found guilty of fixing the score will risk immediate disqualification and banning from the this and the next Nations' Cup. Any judge found guilty of fixing the score will risk immediate and permanent ejection from this and any future Nations' Cups in all capacities.
- Incivility towards other Nations' Cup contenders, whether currently running or eliminated, will be subject to the three-strike rule. Appropriate penalty will be determined dependent upon the severity of the situation.
