Scheduling Matches:
1. It is your responsibility alone to make sure that you and your opponent’s teams have a mutually agreed upon time to compete within the allotted timeframe for each round.
2. Once an agreed time is achieved, one of the team leaders from either team must alert (by private message or thread response) the tournament moderator of the scheduled time. Negligence to alert the tournament moderator of a scheduled time will result in automatic disqualification of both participants.
3. Matches need to be scheduled and confirmed with the tournament moderator at least three days before the start of the tournament rounds to confirm participation.
4. If an already scheduled time needs to be changed for any reason, both players must agree on a different time and the moderator must be alerted of the schedule change within the tournament round’s timeframe.
5. If an overlap of scheduled matches occurs, the moderator will let both parties know and inform them of the procedures involving such event. (Procedure listed in the section below)
Scheduled Matches:
1. All tournament matches are best of 3 games for each pair of combatants. Each player from each team will be paired randomly with another member of the opposing team by the tournament moderator before the start of each tournament round. The team who has the most total wins (out of nine games) will move on to the next round. All scheduled matches must take place between the days set by the tournament moderator.
2. Participants do have the option to switch characters between games/rounds.
3. Tournament moderator will create a non-ranked Player Match room and will spectate the tournament match(es) that occur at that time, serving as a referee for sportsmanship and legitimacy purposes.
