(ONLINE SPECIFIC RULES)

All Streamed Tournament Matches will be held in a Private Battle-Lounge Lobby, Please don't push "Ready" until it's your Turn or instructed to do so by the Hosts or it causes Delays. [Follow this Bracket-Page & Stream-Chat! as you'll be invited to the Streamed Lobby for your match.] (Tournament Matches will be arranged through TSN Discord's "Event-Chat" & Stream Chat,  All Participants need to accept the Invites (after a minute of Invite-Sent, Players who have not accepted invite or are not present will forfeit the match.)

Button Checks are are NOT Generally Allowed in a Online Tournament, It is the Responsibility of the Player before Tournament Begins.

ONLINE CONNECTIVITY & LAG RULES (Revised):


- #1 RULE (Golden Rule): ALL ENTRANTS MUST BE HARD-WIRED (Ethernet Cord) CONNECTED..... WI-FI CONNECTIONS ARE BANNED! 

Reasoning: Internet Data Exchange from Modem is considerably less for Upload/Download speeds when on Wi-Fi. As much as 60-80% speeds can be reduced when on Wi-Fi connections depending on Distance from Modem. 

- LagPlay/Underwater Play/Visible Lag: Due to the Nature of Online Play, Lag can never be 100% eliminated due to degrees of lag & numerous factors including (isp/service plans/time of day/connected devices/server distance/etc.)


If any player complains of Lag, 1 of the 4 things outlined below will occur as there are 4 different catagories of Lag: 


Catagory 1: Minor Lag>>> if any player complains of "minor lag", the complaint will NOT be honored & both players must "Play On"  ("minor lag" is defined as occasional reduced connectivity but match is Playable)


Category 2: Underwater Lag>>> when match is Playable but Players feel reduced speeds as if "playing underwater" (Spectators usually don't see this visible on screen), If hosts determine lag is "Underwater Play", Match will "Play On"


Catagory 3: Visible Lag>>> when Lag is felt by Players & Visible to Spectators, If a player complains of Lag & Hosts determine Visible Lag is present, then "2nd Drop Rule" method (in Lag Catagory 4 below) will be utilized with an Option of giving the player with more bars to "take the set" or "Run it Back".


Catagory 4: UnPlayable Lag>> = Match Dropping

(If a match drops for any reason, Follow Guidelines outlined below)


-  1st Drop: If a match drops due to Any Online Issues, An Attempt will be made by both players to Re-Start the Match in Similar Life, Time, & Meter Situation in the Exact Round of the Drop. 

Reasoning: Internet connection has "lag-spikes" based on connection bandwitch exchange between both players depending on which central server is hosting their connection, sometimes restarting the match will fix the issue.


- 2nd Drop: Hosts will go back to the Match Lobby to determine "Connection Bars". Hosts will then determine player with the least bars by (visible on screen). The player with more bars will "take the set" 


Online Disclaimer: Due to the Nature of Online Tournaments, we understand a 100% "Lag-Free" environment is not feasable or even realistic, some things are just out of anyones control such as a players ISP & Service Plans, However, there are certain things that are in your control to make your connection as Adventageous as possible. As an Online Competitor/Entrant, you should take certain measures in your control to make your connection as "lagless" as possible. 

This Online Tournament requires that you must be connected to the Internet via ethernet cord for maximum bandwith connection speeds & to prevent lag issues. We suggest using a Cat5 or Cat6 Cable for Maximum Bandwith. We also suggest "Port-Forwarding" to imrove Online Lag. Other things that concern bandwith relating to Online Lag include but not limited to: Connected Devices, Service Plans, etc.
