General
- Any violation of the following rules will result in warnings, disqualification and/or removal from the tournament based on the severity of the situation and the decision of the tournament admin
- Smurfing is a serious offense in Solo/Duo Queue tournaments, and results in a perma-ban of player/summoner
- Players must play on their highest ranked account
- Players may not play on a friends account
- If you will be unable to attend, let an admin know asap! Registering and missing part/all of the event may result in a temporary ban at the admins descretion (it hurts the experience of the rest of your team)
- No Racism, Spamming, Raging, Trolling, Sexual Harassment, Trash Talking, or Verbal Harassment
- Players must be physically present 15 minutes before their start time (first match starts at 10:20am) if players are missing/late, the tournament administrator can force a match to start (resulting in a 4v5 or forfeit) if a ringer of equal or lower rank is available, they can play that match (tournament prize goes to the 5 players in the final match) If players are caught cheating, they will be removed from the event
- If a players account is suspended for the tournamet, they will not be able to play in the tournament and be issued a refund if applicable
- Taking advantage of bugs or glitches may result in a disqualification of the player or team.
- If there are more than 12 duo pairs, only the first 12 will be drafted as duo (we can't make balanced teams if everyone is duo!)
Equipment
- Players can bring their own equipement, keyboard/mice/headsets. PCs are provided (computer+keyboards+mouse)
- Anytime a player needs to plug/unplug equipment into the back of a computer, they need to get the tournament administrators attention
Pauses/Remakes
- Each team is allowed up to 10 minutes of pause time
- A game can only be unpaused after a ready check from ALL of the players in the game or a representative verifying with his whole team and giving the ready check for them.
- Abuse of the pause feature (excessively pausing and pausing during combat) will not be tolerated. Players will receive one warning if this occurs. Repeatedly pausing the game will be a cause for the organizers of the event to disqualify the pausing team.
- If there is a disconnecting member before five minutes, the team can ask the tournamnet admin for a remake (with same picks/bans)
- If a player does not show up, a ringer of the same rank (Bronze, Silver, etc.) can play in their place. If no ringer is available, the team must play a 4v5 or forferit the game
- Remakes will not be allowed for technical issues - pause until the issue is resolved (there isn't enough time for many remakes, sorry!)
Arriving late
- Please try to arrive early! These are latest times where matches MUST either be started with available players (enter champ select phase) or forfeited (sorry!):
- 1st match: 10:45am
- 2nd match: 12:00pm
- Exception will be made in case the previous match time overlaps (e.g. 70+ minute game)
- These times are set to ensure the tournament starts and finishes on time
