Cheating

We are very heavy against cheating of any sorts - whether that is getting help from your stream chat, someone offering advice, weird shuffling, taking cards from elsewhere - nothing is tolerated. Each occurrence will be reviewed on an individual basis, but will almost surely result in not only an immediate ban from the tournament, but barred from all future tournaments as well as the Discord. We do not tolerate cheating, and we will make sure to investigate and prosecute cheaters to the best of our ability.
