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 is required, and will begin 1 hour before the tournament start time. If you do not check in, you cannot compete.

At the tournament start time, the brackets will be created. Use the chat on the bracket page to communicate with your opponent.

At the end of your match, report your score on the bracket.

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.

Streaming Conduct
If you choose to stream the tournament, here are a few guidelines. Your stream conduct can result in removal from the tournament.
-When entering the Custom Key to join the Private Lobby, please hide your screen. Leaking the code delays the matching, and can results in a ban.
-Always adhere to the HLX community guidelines while streaming. Violating the HLX Community Guidelines on stream can result in a ban from the tournament.
-If you choose to stream, do so at your own risk. We recommend using a stream delay. If you get stream sniped, HLX is not responsible for investigating the issue and you will not receive any remakes or points. HLX will take appropriate action

Player Conduct:
Hyperluxe Gaming is committed to ensuring the best possible experience for all its competitors. All players are expected to display Good Sportsmanship, Respect, and Competitive integrity while participating in this event, or any affiliated events, and while communicating on any official Hyperluxe Gaming platforms.

Tournament Moderators may issue warnings, but warnings are never required. Ban appeals are allowed, but proof must be required to elevate the issue.

Any list provided is not exhaustive and is growing. Tournament Administration reserves the right to remove competitors for reasons not outlined below if they feel it is harmful to the quality of the tournament or the Hyperluxe Gaming brand. Additionally, players must adhere to the Fortnite Code of Conduct/TOS as well as Epic's Code of Conduct/TOS. Failure to do so could result in removal/ban from events.

Cursing (with harmful intent)

Reminders will be sent to your preferred contact method before the tournament. All players are required to be present at the tournament start time and be ready to enter their matches. The Scoreboard will be available shortly after the tournament start time.

The official communication platform for Hyperluxe Gaming tournaments is the Hyperluxe Gaming website (where you currently are) via the chat feature, OR for Battle Royal Tournaments the official Hyperluxe Gaming Discord, which can be accessed here:

Hyperluxe Gaming Official Discord

No-Shows:
If you do not check in prior to the tournament, you will not be allowed to compete. Players have up to 5 minutes after the lobby code is sent or posted to join the lobby. After this time, if no effort is made to contact tournament administrators to alert them of a delay, the match will begin without you. It is always your responsibility to get the Custom Key in time. We recommend having your Phone Number up to date in Your Profile so that you can get the lobby code via text message.  

Crashes:
For Battle Royal Tournaments: If you crash during a match, the lobby will not be remade. Unfortunately, we cannot restart for every person who disconnects or crashes due to time constraints and to keep it fair to all players. To avoid DC abuse and extensive delays, the only time a lobby will be remade is when 10 or more players disconnect at the same time.

Payouts:
After winning a tournament, HLX has up to 7 days to disperse tournament winnings. However, payment will usually be sent within 24 hours. HLX covers fees to send payment, but be aware that depending on the amount being sent, you could be paying fees as well. Any  payment related questions should be directed to HLX staff. For partnered tournaments (communities) HLX is not responsible for the prize payouts

Cheating:
The use of any 3rd party program, external hardware, or actions that give players an unfair advantage over their competition is strictly prohibited. This includes cheat software, modified controllers, Cronus Zen (and similar devices), stream sniping, and game exploits.

ADDITIONALLY: Kill Farming, “teaming”, or lobby rigging will result in a ban. This is described as planting players in a lobby for the sole purpose of allowing a competitor to kill them, artificially inflating their score. “Teaming” with anyone in your lobby is also bannable, meaning you may not work together as a “duo” to gain an advantage.

Disclaimer:
These rules are a general outline of the standard players are expected to maintain at all times during Hyperluxe Gaming events and while communicating on the Hyperluxe Gaming platforms. Moderators reserve the right to interpret these rules how they feel best upholds the Hyperluxe Gaming Community Guidelines, which may vary from the rules listed above. All players have the right to ban appeals, if you would like to appeal a ban, contact the tournament moderator who issued the ban and they will elevate the issue.
