Lag & Hacking rules
   Since it is a International cup and a friendly tournament for players all over the world, we would not be accepting any allegation against lag.
   Hacking is not allowed on any terms. If a player admits hacking or any act of blatant hacking is seen, the player will be disqualified(please hand in proof in that case).
Disconnection rules

Before game(before the signal “Ready Go”): please rehost and play with the same map, mode, and gear.
During game(after the signal “Ready Go”): If the host disconnects, the other team wins the set. Any other disconnections will not affect the game so please continue the set.

Mode mistakes

If the game starts with the wrong mode, please replay the game with the correct mode and with the same map and gear.
If both teams play out the game and move on to the next game without noticing, the previous game will qualify as a set. We will not accept any report after the round.

On tournament day

Check your opponent on the bracket in advance and use the friend code on the participant list.
There won’t be any check-ins
Type in your tournament team number, your team name, and your friend code in the “friend code” channel so that teams can easily look for their opponents(Discord server)
Rooms will be hosted by a Japanese team. If both teams are Western, the team with the earlier team number will host.
You may start Round 1 as soon as you and your opponent are ready at 19:00(JST). You may also move on to Round 2 and after if your next opponent is determined on the bracket. Do not continue without the TO’s announcements from Semi-finals since we will be spectating all matches after.
If there is no response from the opponent team in 10 minutes(19:10 JST), they lose Round 1. Please report to the TOs.
From Round 2, with both teams finished their previous matches, the opponent team will lose that round if there is no response in 10 minutes after you contacted them.
The winning team reports the score on the “result” channel.

Example format: “Team No.3 vs No.4 2-1 No.3 wins”

There may be an interview with the winning team after the tourney.
For the prize winners, we would appreciate if you could give us a snapshot of the team so the artists could swiftly move on to creation.

Prizes
There will be as many as 35 artists ready to give out original artwork for the teams. We cannot thank them enough! The winner(1st place) team will get to choose your artist for your twitter banner. 2nd place team and other teams that moved on to Round 2 have a chance to get an artwork. We will randomly choose the prize winning team so don’t let your hopes down even if you lose!
