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.

At the tournament start time, you must be present on the registration page to begin searching for a match. Click on your name to open the match view. You may then contact your opponent through the chat feature to create your match. Please use the chat refresh button to see new messages, as this feature is still being developed. Be sure to follow the exact game settings provide below.

In a ladder tournament, you will then begin searching for your next match. If the tournament is single elimination, and you have lost, your tournament is over. If you have won, you will then check the brackets for your next opponent. You may have to wait for the previous match to finish to find your next opponent.

Continue playing as long as you would like or until the play session has ended for that day.

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.
