Other Rules:

         • The chat channel is the players' primary method of contacting their opponents. Failure to be present in the in-game chat channel may lead to disqualification.

         • If a draw happens for whatever reason, then that game must be played again on the same map.

         • Players may stream their own games, but if they decide to, then they acknowledge the risks associated with doing so. Also, players reserve the right to decline any non-official caster who wishes to stream/observe their matches.

         • No race switching mid-series is allowed. Once map vetoes are completed, players must compete with their current race.

         • No cheating/hacking of any form is tolerated. Any offenders will be removed from the bracket and banned from future events.

         • Excessive BM/toxicity is not tolerated as well. Should any players experience this in-game, send a screenshot to the admin DaveTesta and SteadfastSC this week via Discord and if he determines the evidence is enough, the offending player will be removed from the bracket.
