Tournament Format & Rules:

15-and-Under tournament

Players will have until 7:30 (7:00 in OC) to get the highest-scoring game. The player with the single game with the highest eliminations (eliminations between games do not accumulate) will walk away the champion for the night.

Main tournament

Each Player will be matched up with an opponent and queue together as a Duo. Placement does not matter, the objective is to get more eliminations than your opponent in each game. Competitors will play two games, and the player with the higher combined score from the two games advances in the bracket. A player is not allowed to obstruct their duo partner in any way. Tournament officials can review game replay files if necessary, and tournament officials can decide if a match needs to be either replayed or forfeited.

Tie Breaker

If both players are tied in kills after 2 games, a third game will be played. The player that gets 5 kills first, wins the tiebreaker and the match. If neither player gets 5 kills, then the player with the highest kills wins. If the players are still tied in the third game then a fourth tiebreaker game will be played with the same rules. This is repeated until a winner is determined.

Avoid Dropping with your Opponent:

For Game 1, while the players are in the loading lobby, the player that is displayed on top in the bracket needs to mark on the map where they will drop. The player that is displayed on the bottom in the bracket then marks on the map where they will drop, and it needs to be in a different area than the first player.
As a rule-of-thumb for how far apart the players should drop: if the first player chooses to land in Tilted Towers, the second player should land further away than Loot Lake, or Shifty Shafts, but as a courtesy, try to land on different halves of the map.
For Game 2, The player that is displayed on the bottom in the bracket will choose their landing spot first.
If both players agree before the match, they may drop closer, or even within the same location.
After the first circle has finished closing, it is legal for players to move to the same area as their opponent.

No Sabotage

Do not destroy the opponent's builds. This will result in a deduction of 1 elimination from your score (-1 point)
No running over an opponent with vehicles (-1 point)
No stealing opponent’s loot. The player that gets the elimination (the person who knocked the enemy player) has rights to the defeated player’s loot. If a player is obviously setting down loot in order to heal, etc. do not take that loot. (-1 point)
No walling in opponents (penalty at TO’s discretion)
No stealing vehicles. A player that gets into a vehicle first, owns that vehicle. Even if the player gets out of the vehicle, you may not take it. Only if the player gets into a 2nd vehicle is it clearly established that you may now take the first vehicle. (penalty at TO’s discretion)

Additional Player Responsibility:

It is a player's responsibility to call any form of misconduct in their matches.
All players must have replays on
Players must stay in after they die to spectate opponent
Players must keep a calm level mindset. I.E. No: aggressive attitude, slurs, threats, bullying, forms of aggression that can be viewed as hostile. Penalties may range from a verbal warning to disqualification and will be determined by the staff - based on the situation.

Cheating/Hacking & Glitches:

Any players found exploiting glitches or cheating in-game will forfeit the match, and may even be disqualified from the tournament (offense will be determined based on what happened).

Examples:

Out of bounds god mode
Wall hacks
Exploiting getting under the map
Invincibility
Aim botting
Players giving you kills/loot from friends list
Throwing/giving your opponent the win

Additional Rules:

Can not kill players that are AFK from the bus (Penalty: kills will not count)
