Participation and tournament Rules.

You must abide by the following rules in order to participate in Tournaments and use this website:

1. Because matches depend on the internet, there is no guarantee that matches will be able to start at the specific time they are listed in case of downtime.
2. Any disorderly behavior disqualifies Contestants from participation, finals, or prizes. Site staff members are the final arbiters in all situations, and they have the final say in every situation, including with respect to Tournament chat. Please refrain from using harassing, negative, or profane language in either the Tournament chat or the game instance.
3. No cheats or hacks of any kind are to be used. Contestants will be disqualified if they are caught using any cheat, glitch or 3rd party "helper" applications.
4. Taking advantage of known exploits in the game is also considered cheating. Exploits in the game could include, without limitation, bugs that allow you to hide under obstacles or objects in the game to gain invulnerability. If a Site staff member finds that you are cheating, you will be disqualified immediately from the Tournament with no recourse for yourself.
5. Tournament rules are subject to change at any time. If any changes to the rules occur, you will be notified through the news page and a forum post.
