Communication/Forfeits

-You must be in the WPL Discord to communicate with your opponents. If you are not online and able to communicate with your opponent within 10 minutes of the bracket being posted or updated to display your match, you will forfeit the match. Let an admin know if you can't communicate with your opponent.

-Please be set to ONLINE on discord so that communication lines are open for admins and opponents. 

-If you need to go AFK for over 10 minutes after your match has been posted in the brackets, please let your opponent and an admin know so that we can work it out. If you take too long, it will result in a forfeit.  

-Either dm your opponent the game lobby or use the #lobby-setup channel and tag your opponent (using @(playername)) to get started. If you are tagged first, please join your opponent's lobby. Please double check lobby settings to make sure they are correct and in line with the custom game settings outlined above. 

Warm-ups

-Please take the time to warm up prior to matches. You may do a FT1 with your opponent if it is accepted before the game starts.

Disconnections

-If a player disconnects or crashes, that round will go to the player who remains connected. If unable to determine who's end caused the disconnect, please just resume the set and no points are rewarded. If it was obvious that one player was going to win prior to disconnect, they will be rewarded a point. Sportsmanship and honesty appreciated.  

Pauses

-Someone may pause in game and stop moving pieces. You do not have to accept the pause and may continue playing. Please be ready to play before you start the set.

Keep it Cool Dudes

-No racist, xenophobic or sexist language. Poor behavior may result in a ban from the event.

-Be a good sport. However, friendly smack talk is encouraged. 

Good Luck and Have Fun!
