🚫 Late entries not allowed
⏱️ Rounds may begin early if matches finish fast

🤝 TIES & INTENTIONAL DRAWS

  • Ties and Intentional Draws (IDs) are not allowed in this tournament. All matches must have a winner.

  • If the round timer expires and the score is 0-0 or 1-1, the result is a tie, and both players will receive a tie on their record.

  • Screenshots of wins are strongly recommended for dispute resolution.

  • If a disconnect occurs, the win goes to the player who receives the Victory screen.

  • If the round timer ends but the match finishes within a reasonable time (to be determined by the judge), and a screenshot of the win is submitted to the Discord, the result may be overturned in favor of the winning player.

    Take screenshots at the end of every match to avoid issues.
