When / Where to play

As a general rule, Losers' Bracket games should play off-stream as soon as they're ready UNTIL reaching the top 8. Non-streamed matches should be played in Parks, please ping your opponent to arrange where to meet up (Ex; EC60)

Connectivity

Our goal is to offer a relatively relaxed tournament that can include as many folks as possible. With that in mind, we don't have any hard requirements for the quality of each player's internet connection. Not every connection is going to be ideal, unfortunately, but hopefully, everything is reasonably playable.

That said, our preferred standard is for every player to have an upload speed above 5 Mbps and jitter under 6 ms. Connections can be checked at https://speed.cloudflare.com/

In the case of serious, unplayable connection issues, please notify the TO right away. The TO will ask both players to submit a screenshot of their results from the connection test linked above; the winner will be determined at the TO's discretion according to connection quality, or by coin flip if necessary.

Please see Discord for full tournament rules, they will be pinned to the tournament channel.
