- TREAT EVERYONE WITH RESPECT. There is a ZERO TOLERANCE policy for unsportsmanlike conduct
- Make sure your teamsheets are correct. TEAMSHEET IS KING DUE TO THIS BEING A PRIZE POOL TOUR. WHAT IS SHOWN ON YOUR TEAMSHEET MUST BE USED IN THE TOURNAMENT. PLEASE DOUBLE CHECK YOUR SUBMISSIONS BEFORE THE START OF THE TOUR!
- IF YOU DISCONNECT, PLEASE REQUEST A JUDGE IMMEDIATELY. Please do not attempt to resolve the situation yourself.
- Do not report wins early. Only report wins after each game has concluded. Allow the timer to Auto-Resolve the match if you opponent hasn't checked in (Example: Don't self report G1 & G2 Wins in the last minute).
- REQUEST A JUDGE IF THERE ARE ANY ISSUES DURING THE TOURNAMENT, OR IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS
