TOURNAMENT INFO

🔵 Each swiss round, players must check-in within the check-in time limit or lose the match. If you speak in chat but forget to check in, you can call a judge who will allow the game to continue, and remind you not to forget next time.

🔵 A maximum of 2 minutes is allowed to resolve overtime. If unresolved, the match is declared a tie.

🔵 Player count may be increased if more players register. Rounds / top cut number will be altered based on number of players. This will be announced before Round 1 and will not change once the tournament has begun.

🔵 Top Cut starts immediately after the bracket is finalised. This means you MUST watch the games feeding into yours so you do not miss your match. A 5-10 minute delay in showing up to your top cut match results in a loss. Judges may attempt to contact you on Discord if available.
