Rules:
All sets are BO3 matches.
Winners Finals, Losers Finals and Grand Finals are BO5 matches.
Eligible regions/countries: Europe, MENA*
*See rules below
MENA countries will be allowed, but with a 150ms limit:
If there are connection problems between someone from an eligible region/country and a limited country, where both show good connections in a test but get +150ms to each other in-game, the player from the limited country will get an automatic loss.
With this rule change, we're trying to accommodate as many players as possible, since it seems like the netcode isn't solid enough to fully allow MENA. As usual, we'll keep an eye on connection issues and will tweak the rule if it ends up being a bit excessive.
Wifi is not permitted, please use an ethernet cable.
4G/5G routers are not permitted.
A TO may ask you for a connectivity test at any time.
Any complaints to a TO regarding connectivity must be made BEFORE a set is finished, otherwise the result will stand.
If connectivity issues are discovered during a match, cease the match immediately and contact a TO.
Players have to update the scores on Challonge themselves after playing a match.
Contact @Ratsch in #helpdesk on Discord if you can't get a hold of your opponent, I'll let them know and start a timer, if they don't show up in 10mins they'll be DQ'ed.
Disconnections DURING a match results in 1 match point to the opponent. Disconnecting on the loading screen does nothing, please reload.
If you lose a match you may change your character. The winner of a match is NOT allowed to change their character.
If the winner DOES change their character, it results in 1 match point to the opponent.
It is allowed to change characters in-between sets though!
