After submitting results they will be finalized and the bracket will continue. Repeat each round until you are either eliminated or have won the whole thing! If there are any issues reporting scores, other players refusal, or match issues please ping an admin here as well. PLEASE TAKE PICTURES FOR EVIDENCE TO MAKE THIS PROCESS EASY FOR EVERYONE. You can submit photos via the chat to an Admin.

This will be the primary support for the tournament, it is advised not to try to contact admins, casters, or organizers directly. If no resolution is found or you can not request a moderator, try the stream chat but only if there is an error with smashgg.

Payouts

Payouts will happen within 72 hours of the tournament's end via Matcherino. You must have a valid matcherino and PayPal account. You will need to transfer the funds yourself after they have been paid out to your Matcherino account. Please have correct contact information available on smashgg so admins may reach out.

The number on Matcherino will not match what will be received when cashing out due to a Matcherino and Paypal fee associated with cashing out. This is after the money has been added to your account at the full value from the prize pool.

Unable to connect/Disconnect

If you can not connect to your opponent at all, ping an Admin via Smashgg and they will try to assist. Your match may be queued for stream for a third party connection, or in the worst case an Admin will make the final choice and must be respected. There are factors that may determine who will advance over the other in this case. Such as who has the better connection, who can connect to us, and other factors.

If you and your opponent disconnect from a match and there is no agreement to proceed, ping an Admin via Smashgg. If it’s the first disconnect you will try to play that game over. If there is a second that will result in a forfeit of that game. If there is a dispute an Admin will make a ruling here as well based on a few factors such as who was disconnected, what the score was, what the ping is etc. Please respect the Admins and their decisions. All conversations between admins and players we ask to keep private.
