Reporting Scores/Matches

https://youtu.be/5yWAbuNyl-Q

You will access your match via Player Dashboard on smashgg. When you are on the bracket page there will be a “queue” button in the middle. Pressing this will put you in the queue. Once an opponent has been found you will join and start the match. This will bring you to where you have the access to check in, talk to your opponent, invite, and submit results. Talk with your opponent here or in discord to coordinate a room if one is not provided by us or if the main one is full. After your match is over you will submit the result, then rinse and repeat until matchmaking ends.

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.

Support

In your active match chat, there will be a button at the bottom that says “Request a moderator”, clicking this will notify an admin to come into the chat and help out. If smash is not working feel free to use the discord at discord.gg/nDgzMQtbz3 for all help. Remember to select a role!

Prizing/Crowdfunding

For The Kolosseum we will be partnered with Matcherino to provide an amazing crowdfunding experience for those who want to support the series and players. This goes directly to the players!

You can donate at !matcherino in the chat or at the link below

Payouts

Finale Payout- 1st - 30%, 2nd - 20%, 3rd - 15%, 4th - 10%, 5th - 7.5%, 7th - 5%

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. 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, ping an Admin via Smashgg. If only one player was disconnected, then the player who remains has the right to take the game. In the case that both players get the same error it will result in a redo. 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.
