  • Follow all rules in the rules tab of the tournament
  • If you have an issue you cannot solve, ping us in the official UGCesports discord.

If your team is not prepared by 15 mins you will forfeit game 1, at 20 mins late your team forfeits the series. ZERO EXCEPTIONS

Start Time: 12:00pm Central/ 1pm Eastern


Format: 4v4, Single Elimination 32 teams


Roster Lock: Roster Lock is one hour before tournament start time. If any substitutions or changes to your lineup need to be made, this will need to be done prior to roster lock.


ATTN: Once you join the tournament, the only way to change your lineup or enact a substitution is to go through a UGC admin. Again, these changes need to be made prior to roster lock


Subs: Each team is allowed 1 substitution per tournament. The sub MUST be on the team’s roster, or they are an ineligible sub. If you are caught playing with someone who is NOT on your roster, your team will be disqualified.

Party Privacy: It is the responsibility of the team hosting a game to make sure the party is set to invite only. If players join your match and you are the hosting team, you will be penalized. The penalties are as follows:
First Offense: Warning by UGC admin
Second Offense: The hosting team will forfeit the map
Third Offense: The hosting team will forfeit the series


Connection Issues: If a player lags out during the first 30 seconds or before the first kill the map should be ended and restarted. If a player lags out after the first 30 seconds or the first kill the map will continue and the player who dropped may rejoin the game. If the other team can prove that the host is unplayable, it will be up to the UGC admin overseeing the event to make a decision to play it or switch hosts.


Restarts: There are no restarts! For all game modes, the hosting team is responsible for starting the games with the correct setting(s). If the game is started with incorrect settings, or the map isn't correct, the hosting team will be penalized. Those penalties are as follows:
First Offense: Warning by UGC admin
Second Offense: The hosting team will forfeit the map
Third Offense: The hosting team will forfeit the series

Cheating: All accusations of cheating or violation of any of the listed rules require proof for Support Staff to enforce any penalties and to make the best-informed decision. The burden of that proof is on the accusing party. We highly suggest that as many players as possible take pictures and/or video of their matches. If no proof can be provided of a cheating accusation, the results of the match will stand.


Disqualification:  Any and all disqualifications are at the sole discretion of the UGC Admin overseeing the tournament. (Eric or RJ)
