TOURNAMENT RULES

All battles are best 3/5, qualifiers they playoffs.

7-Day Qualifiers: One scheduled battle each night. Best 3/5. You need 3 wins to make playoffs.

Playoffs: Win and advance. Lose and you’re out. All battles are best 3/5

No-Shows: Automatic ejection — no exceptions.

During Battle: The tournament is only between you and the creator you’ve been paired with for battle. During this time it should only be 1v1, no additional creators/supporters and no boxes are permitted. A loss will be given to anyone violating this rule and possible removal from the tournament altogether.

Refs: Look for the badge. They track wins and losses.

Conduct: Keep it respectful and sportsmanlike during all interactions. Any form of harassment or unsportsmanlike behavior = immediate removal.

All times are posted in EST.

Grace Period Notice: Allow a 10-minute window before reporting a no-show. After that, refs award the win.

All 7 nights of qualifiers are required even if you have 3 wins. Any “no shows” will result in automatic removal.
