Rules and Formalities
Gameplay
If referees or commentators want to observe your game, you must open a slot for them. Not letting commentators or referees in may result in you getting disqualified from the tournament.
Seeding
Seeding will be done through random assignment after registration, once all 32 players (16 teams) have signed up. Brackets will be released at most 5 minutes after the tournament is supposed to start.
Match Result Reporting
After the winner of each round has been determined, it is the
responsibility of the winner to report the victory to a referee and post the result and the replays in the specified results thread. Please save your replays in case there is a dispute about the result! Once there are only four players remaining, matches will be refereed and the replays saved automatically.
Out-of-Sync (OOS) Errors
In case of a desync or out-of-sync error, the following policy applies: You must save the replay, and a tournament staff member will review the replay. If there is a clear winner, that player will advance. If not, the match will be replayed. The staff member's decision is final and non-negotiable, and failure to comply with the decision may jeopardize your eligibility for future tournaments. Repeated OOS errors in relation to a particular player may indicate abuse. Should this occur, the player in question may be disqualified and banned from future tournaments.
Cheating/Disconnecting/Dispute Resolution
