TOURNAMENT RULES
Failure to comply with any of the rules below may result in a game loss, disqualification, or a ban from future tournaments, depending on the seriousness of the offence.
01 — EVIDENCE & DISPUTES
Always ensure that you have timed screenshots to prove the claim you are trying to prove in the event of a dispute.
02 — CHEATING
Any proven instance of cheating or using tools to gain an advantage will result in disqualification.
03 — SWISS ROUND TIMEOUTS
If you run out of time for a Swiss Round, it will count as a tie unless both players agree to override the results. This must be done before the Swiss Round ends, with assistance from a Judge.
04 — CONNECTION ISSUES
If a connection issue occurs at the beginning of the match before the game begins, players should try again. If it occurs mid-match, the player with the victory screen will be deemed the winner.
05 — CHECK-IN FAILURES
If a player fails to check in on time, the match can continue if both players agree. Otherwise, the player who failed to check in will record a loss. During Top Cut, failing to check in will incur a game loss every 5 minutes.
06 — TIED GAMES
If a result is required for a tied game, the following rules apply:
Tie in Game 1: Whoever wins Game 2 wins.
Tie in Game 2: Whoever won Game 1 wins.
Tie in Game 3: The match goes to sudden death. In a new game, whoever gets the first prize point wins.
07 — INTENTIONAL DRAWS
Intentional Draws are allowed during Swiss Rounds. Make sure both players agree to this outcome and call a Judge to finalise the results.
