Tournament Day:
On the day of the tournament, you might be unsure of what to do. Tournament moderators will be there to help, but here is a general overview of what to expect.
Check-In for this tournament begins 1 hour before the posted start time. To check in, you will return to the registration page and click the green “Check-In” button. If you do not check in for the tournament, you will not be able to compete!
At the tournament start time, you may begin playing your matches. You have 2 hours to play as many matches as you would like. You will then take screenshots of your best 3 matches played within those 2 hours and report them on the “Scoreboard” tab. Only matches played within the 2 hours
AND screenshots of the matches uploaded to the website will be accepted for scoring. Scores will be verified before prizes are paid out by CoD API.
Important: Any match that is
started between 4 pm EST and 6 pm EST may be submitted, but it MUST be submitted before 6:15 pm EST. This means you can start a match at 5;59 pm EST as long as you submit a screenshot before 6:15 pm EST.
If you have any questions during the tournament, you may contact the tournament moderators via Support Tickets in the Discord, or raise a dispute on the website.
