  • Report the results of your series in the UGC esports discord (link below) after your series has concluded
  • Your team must be available and ready to play at the start of each round. If your previous round is still being played, it is up to you to let tournament staff know so they can hold off the next round.
  • 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.

  • Please click the link and join our Discord server for live tournament support!
  • UGC admins are available during the tournament for support and disputes
  • Both captains may join with a UGC Admin in the voice channels for match disputes. Keep in mind, we will be as swiftly as possible so we do not hold up the tournament.
  • Admins can answer any questions you may have
  • Recruiting for substitutes (Not to be done during a live tournament)

  • If any substitutions or changes to your lineup need to be made, this will need to be done prior to roster lock.
  • You will need to contact the TO for assistance:
  • If you need changes made to your roster/lineup after the roster lock, you will become the bottom seed for the tournament.

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 considered an ineligible sub.

  • First Offense: Warning by UGC admin
  • Second Offense: The hosting team will forfeit the map
  • Third Offense: The hosting team will forfeit the series

Delays
  • There will be absolutely NO delaying of the tournament. You have 15 mins from the time the tournament starts to start your game in the series. If your team is not prepared by 20 mins to play, at this time, your team will be penalized ZERO EXCEPTIONS
  • If your team or your opponent's team are penalized for delaying, it will be as follows:
  • 15 mins forfeit game 1
  • 20 mins forfeit game 2

  • If you plan on calling out another team for not being ready, you will need to provide a screenshot of your xbl message to them. And a screenshot of the lobby showing they haven't joined with the time

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: 
  • 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 proof is on the accusing party. We highly suggest that as many players as possible take pictures and/or videos of their matches. If no proof can be provided of a cheating accusation, the results of the match will stand.
