General Rules:

Participants have to be active on Discord while the tournament is live. It will be considered the participant’s mistake if they do not read the messages on Discord and therefore lack critical information.

Depending on the game, you might have to invite your opponent to your custom room lobby or enter one created by the opponent.
All tournament-related communication will be conducted on the #tournament-lobby channels.
Lobbies and Brackets are created randomly by the Tourney Bot. Any requests for seeding will be rejected.

This entire ruleset can be changed by the admin team at any point in time depending on the circumstances. Players will be notified about any new rules on Discord.

The tournament rules can be changed at any point by the moderation team depending on the requirement.
For any questions or queries feel free to reach out to Community Warriors or Community Mages.
If multiple players in a lobby are unable to join a match due to technical reasons, the host is allowed to change the timings only if majority of the players agree to. The time will also be decided as per the majority's preferences. All the players in the lobby will be given 10 minutes to reply when the host discusses with them regarding this. If none of the users reply within 10 minutes, the match-time can be rescheduled by the host as per their choice. This rule DOES NOT apply for BR games (Free Fire, PUBG etc).
If there are multiple hackers/cheaters found in a tournament or if there is an error/bug/glitch disrupting the game while the tournament is live, the host can cancel the tournament and publish a new tournament instead.

Rules for AI Tournament:

AI tournaments are meant to run themselves solely through the Tourney bot. This is only possible with coordination from the participants. However, Pawn#0001 is the host of the tournament and can be reached out for any assistance.
In AI tournaments, the bot automatically creates lobby channels on Discord. Check the match-start time posted by the bot. Wait-time is the same as regular tournaments - 10 minutes for Round 1 and 5 min for the rest.
If your opponent is unresponsive, post the result with any screenshot ONLY after the wait-time is finished.
Example: If match-start time is 6:30PM, wait until 6:40PM for your opponent. If they still don’t respond, post result.
The bot will automatically give you the win after you post the result successfully with the !result command. Hence you just need to wait. Do not tag anyone in this period.
In AI tournaments, tournament details and rules are not correctly set by the bot. Hence you need to refer to this rule-set for full details.
DM @Pawn#0001only if there is any issue among you and your opponent OR if there is a match in the brackets that is not getting finished after the wait-time has ended.
