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.

Violating any of these rules will result in an immediate ban from the tournament for the entire team, ban from all future HLX and SharePlay tournaments, and forfeiture of all past tournament winnings.

There are no "warnings", no second chances will be given, and no appeal process. By entering this tournament, you have agreed to these terms and conditions.

Before tournament start time, you will get the custom lobby code via text and in the SharePlay discord server. Please be sure the contact information you provided  on the SharePlay website is accurate, and you have the proper roles in the SharePlay Discord server. Only the team captains need to do this, it is their responsibility to give their teammates the code.

DO NOT LEAK LOBBY CODES ON STREAM OR ANYWHERE ELSE. This is a private lobby code. If you leak lobby codes, you could be removed from the tournament.

This is a closed tournament, and tournament lobby codes are not public. Please do not share them with anyone. Lobby codes will be given to the team captains ONLY! You must be in the SharePlay Discord Server to get codes. Each team captain should have access to their respective group code channels. If you do not have access to the channel, reach out to a tournament moderator.

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.
