Rules

Ignorance of the rules is no defense, not understanding the rules is no defense. This is your time to ask questions on the rules.

Server

US EAST

Failure to appear / No Show

Each time has 15 minutes to show up to a match. Showing up after 15 minutes may result in a default loss.

Ticketing

Failing to ticket the lobby will result in both teams being removed from the qualifier

Standins

A team may only have one alternate to sub in the event of an unforeseen event preventing a player from participating. The admins and the other team must be made aware of the sub prior to lobby, Via the ticket.

Pause Rule

It is forbidden to pause a game for no reason. After you pause a game you must say in all chat the reason of the pause. In the same game, the total pause time can't be longer than 10 minutes (if a team pause the game for 3 minutes and later pause it again for 7, they can't pause anymore).

To unpause a game is only allowed if both teams agree to it in all chat and no further agreements were made.

In case of disconnect, if the pause time has exceeded 10 minutes, and 4 players are connected, the game will be resumed 4v5 without further delay.

In case 3 or less players are connected to the match after the pause time was exceeded, the admin will rule the map as a forfeit.

Rematch Rules

If the problem happens before GOR, there will be a new game made with the same draft and will be allowed to bring back the original player or replace him with a substitute

If the problem happens after GOR, the game or series will continue

If a team loses more than 1 player the current game will be a forfeit win for the opponent and if there are more games in the match series, the countdown will start for the next game

Game of record

A game of record (“GOR”) refers to a game where all ten players have loaded, and which has progressed to a point of meaningful interaction between opposing teams. Once a game attains GOR status, the period ends in which incidental restarts may be permitted and a game will be considered as “official” from that point onward. After the establishment of GOR, game restarts will be allowed only under limited conditions and with a new draft. Examples of conditions that establish GOR:

Any attack or ability is landed on minions, jungle creeps, structures or enemy heroes.

Line-of-sight is established between players on opposing teams.

Setting foot, establishing vision or targeting a skillshot ability in the opponent’s jungle.

Countdown timer reaches zero (0:00)

Abortion of a match

You can abort a match by typing "gg" (without the "") in all chat. The match will end and the team that typed "gg" will receive a loss. It is not allowed to abort a “gg” after a “gg” is called (admins may veto If the admin believe it was an accidental chat wheel GG, that being said it’s much safer to remove it from your chat wheels)

Score reporting

Make a ticket and provide a screen shot to report the score to the admins so they may update the website (ownness is on the winner)
