Tournament Rules
Rules for Signing up
- Players must be actively ranked and must provide the op.gg for the account that has the highest ranked peak.
- We will be trying to pick captains of similar rank to make the tournament, so if you are willing to be a team captain, please let us know on the signup form.
- Every player must sign up using the website to be part of the tournament. If you have any issues please let an admin know.
- If you are signing up as a team player, you are also choosing to be responsible for notifying your team captain if you are unavailable for a specific day and to help find a sub.
- We appreciate everyone who signs up as a sub but only players drafted to a team will be eligible to receive prize money (there may be a prize for the best sub similar to Season 2).
- Please make sure to fill out the form correctly. We will be directly importing all the sign up information to help the team captains with drafting their teams for this season!
Rules for Match Schedules and Placements
- The schedule will be randomized after teams are chosen where each team will play every other team once.
- The regular season games will be Bo3 games played on Sundays.After the regular season games are played, the top two teams will be given a bye to the semi-finals.
- The 3rd place team will play the 6th place team and then the 4th place team will play the 5th place team in a Bo5 series.For the semifinals, the first place team will go against the lowest ranked team that qualifies to the semifinals.
- The second place team will go against the higher ranked team (Bo5). Winners of the semifinals will go to match each other in the finals (bo5).
Team Captains
Team captains will be responsible for showing up for the draft where the teams will be chosen.
Team captains will be responsible for final decisions on team subs and for bringing issues to admins.
Team captains are to be held to a higher standard because they are leaders for their team.
Rules for Subs
- Subs must have a 1 year peak below the person they are subbing for unless the Sub is bronze or iron peak in which case they can sub for anyone.
- The only people who can Sub are players who specifically signed up for the “Sub Only” role during sign ups.
- You may not receive third party subs or subs from another team.Subs are first come first serve. That means if you want a sub for your game, you need to post the sub in the substitution chat.
- We will be adding this chatroom on discord where team captains and admins can post but everyone can see it.
Rules for 1v1s
To keep things simple for 1v1s the highest ranked players (based on season start) will play each other week 1 and then 2nd highest ranked players week 2 etc.
For playoffs we will leave it up to team captains to decide who they would like to play for the 1v1s but players can only 1v1 once in the play offs.
The 1v1s will be played on ARAM Blind pick.
Each player make pick their own runes, summerspells and items. A player wins the 1v1 by getting First Blood, 100 CS, or taking the opposing teams tower.
Rules for Custom Tournament Lobby
When creating the lobby, go to “Create Custom” Select: Summoners RiftGame Type: Tournament DraftAllow Spectators: AllSpectator Delay: None
All five Roles (Top, Jungle, Mid, Bottom, Support) must be selected by one player on a team.
You are not allowed to select multiple of one role.Teams that win the 1v1 get side selection on all odd games (1 - 3 - 5) and then the losing team gets side selection on all even games (2 - 4).
team captain (or a player if team captain isn't available) must submit what roles their team is playing at least 3 minutes prior to starting the first game. Also, they must submit any lane changes their players are making to an admin (or agreed upon 3rd party) within 2 minutes of their game being finished. EXAMPLE: If your mid laner wants to swap to top lane for game 2, you will need to let an admin or agreed upon third party know within 2 minutes of completing your game.
After both teams have had a chance to swap positions. The admin or third party will announce any position changes so that teams can prepare picks and bans ahead of champion selection.
