Quick Rules
This is a Swiss Cup! In case you don't know what a Swiss cup is check out our Swiss Cup FAQ.
Steps to sign-up:
Each team member must take an end-of-game screenshot of their results in case of any disputes. Unless said dispute happens, only one has to upload the screenshots!
The screenshot needs to have the match ID and the name of the opponent team inserted by at least one out of the 3 team members as a chat message but the more is better. Teams are awarded 6 points for winning the match and 1 point for each kill. In case of a tie, the total amount of damage determines the winner. Failure to provide said screenshots in the given timeframe or when requested can lead to disciplinary action and/or loss of points.
Substitute players can only be added if a tournament is postponed until the following day and in case another player cannot attend to the said time.
