Registration

You must register with a team in order to be placed in the bracket.
All team members must be present by the tournament start time to ensure participation in the event.
Team invites must be accepted in order for a player to count towards your team.
Players must be from the applicable region listed in the tournament description as defined by BSC’s ruleset, regardless of server locking.
Participants found to be within a different region will be disqualified.
Sign ups will be closed 15 minutes before starting time to populate brackets and/or fill free agent teams, or 15 minutes before check-in if the tournament is big enough to justify it.
The end of sign-ups will not necessarily be announced and is subject to end early based on overall registrations.
Once registration has ended, no exceptions will be made unless extreme emergency circumstances are presented in which case the Admins may allow one (1) emergency substitution at their discretion.
Last-minute roster changes, teammate swaps, or other registration changes will not be permitted once check-in has begun. Teams will have 15 minutes between the closing of registrations and the start of check-in to create a case by opening a ticket in the discord regarding any potential issues. After this time has elapsed, no further changes will be allowed.
If check-ins are enabled, you will have a minimum 45 minute window to check your team in, check-ins start at least 1 hour before the tournament starts and end 15 minutes before the tournament starts.
Admin reserves the right to disqualify any team at their discretion.
If team limits are enabled, spots will open up in waves with rolling admission up to team capacity plus waitlisted spots. You can open a ticket on Discord to register your team if spots are full.

Match Expectations

Teams must join the lobby within 5 minutes of the round beginning, and with an additional 5 minute grace period from the start of the bracket (10 minutes to enter their first match of the first rounds of the bracket).
Teams can claim a DQ of their opponents by pressing "ready" in the lobby on the Matcherino website without their opponents or reporting to admins when the time allotted has elapsed if Match Readying is enabled.
Dodging draft is not allowed under any circumstances including connectivity issues. If reported, it will result in a game or set loss depending on the number of offenses at admin discretion. Warnings may be issued in rare cases, and this rule will not be applied to the round of 8 and above.
Brackets will be populated 10-15 minutes before the start of the tournament.
