The Rules

The tournament will consist of 64 players in which will be a BO1 until the RO8. The rest of the tournament will be a BO3 until the finals which will be a BO5.

During the BO3 and BO5 rounds, the first map is mandatory with the loser of the first game being able to pick the second map and the loser of the second game picking the third map and so on. These maps must be chosen from the Map Pool below.

Please be on time as players who are late by 15 minutes from the start time will be disqualified and the opposing player will continue onto the next round. If you have applied for the tournament and would like to retract the application, please contact TALkori.830 or TAriiChard.272.

Refs and casters must be allowed into the game upon request. Spectators are allowed as long as both players agree but if observers lag or delay the game, they are required to leave.

Any anti-social behaviour such as bad manner is unacceptable and will result in disqualification. If you believe you are a victim of this please contact one of the administrators or myself. We will review the replay and make a non-biased judgement call on whether or not to disqualify the player.

Disconnects before 3 minutes game time will result in a rematch. If either player disconnects after 3 minutes, then the replay must be sent to teamichornet@gmail.com to be reviewed and we will judge whether or not the game would be replayed or give the win to the player with the advantageous lead.

Brackets will be randomized and posted up 5 minutes before the tournament starts.
