Rules:

1. It is mandatory that you join the discord if you would like to participate in any way. Participants, commentators, and restreamers will all need to use the tournament discord to communicate and stay up to date with events. Registration will be run through the bot, please go to the #bot channel to have yourself set up to be a part of the tourney. You will have the option of linking your challonge account to the this tournament page.

2. We will be using https://racetime.gg/ for our race matches. Please make sure to create an account before your first match, and keep up to date in the discord on whether LiveSplit integration can be used, or using the site to start matches on time.

3. It is highly recommended that you stream your matches, even a webcam pointed to a tv is acceptable if no other options are available.

4. The tournament format is as follows: The first half will be Group Stage, everyone in their group plays each other once, and the top X will advance. This will be updated depending on the number of entrants, as group sizes will change to reflect this as well. The second half will be Single Elimination Bracket, all matches will be Best of 1, meaning whoever wins the first match advances to the next round. There will be a 3rd place match between the losers of the semi final round.

5. Group Stage seeding will be determined by your PB in 96 Exit. If your PB is very close to someone else's that's in the tourney, PBs from other categories may be looked at to improve your seeding. Single Elimination Bracket seeding will use the top time you get in the group stage, so get at least one really good run to improve your chances!

6. In the event of a match that comes down to the second, a retime may be required.

7. All deadlines are final. If you have a circumstance which causes you to have your matches delayed, please contact a tourney moderator and we will do our best to accommodate for the situation.


If you have any questions, please join the discord. A tourney moderator will be available to help!
