Teams are expected to respond to tournament staff in a timely manner to allow for staff to perform their necessary work for the event. Individuals participating in the event are expected to arrive and be ready to play on time or early to allow for the tournament to be maintained within its planned time in respect with everyone else’s time. Failure to not be ready to play on time and being late could result in a disqualification for your own team or an instant loss for that game. Cheating and exploiting in the event will NOT be tolerated, and if a player were caught cheating then the individual will receive a ban from the event and future events, and their team will be automatically disqualified from the tournament. Teams are NOT allowed to use the in-game forfeit option for their matches. To respect competitive integrity, a team that forfeits a match will forfeit the tournament.

All E-Sports events will follow all guidelines established by UVSA-Midwest’s Safe Community Initiative. Additionally, all toxic behavior will not be tolerated such as typing inappropriate language within the chat, intentionally losing the game, and more are prohibited. Failure to comply with these rules will result in a player ban from the tournament and an immediate disqualification of your team. Furthermore, failure to comply with the guidelines established by SCI will warrant a ban from future UVSA-Midwest’s events.
