MATCH CHECK-IN
Once paired with an opponent, both teams are required to check-in for their match on Battlefy. Once one team checks in, their opponent will have 15 minutes to do the same or they will, automatically, forfeit the match. Once both teams have checked in, they are required to use the PRIVATE CHAT feed located on their Match page to communicate with their opponents and set up the match.
Once the match is ready to start, one or both players MUST report in the PRIVATE CHAT feed that their match has begun.
AFK MATCHES
Once seeding for a round is complete, players will have 15 minutes to coordinate and start their match. If neither team checks in or both teams check-in and the match has not started within 15 minutes of the check-in, the lower seeded team will automatically forfeit the match and be dropped from the tournament.
SCORE REPORTING
After each match, Team Captains are required to report their team's score on their match page. Any disputes will be handled by a Tournament Moderator who may require a replay of the match for review. The Tournament Moderator has final say regarding all match disputes.
Relic & the administrators of this tournament reserve the right to change or add any rule at any time during this tournament at our discretion.
Only Captains can report their team's score.
