Competitor Responsibilities • Players must have wired connection, with an upload speed of above 3 Mbps, according to PSN. Proof may be asked if issues arise. • If your connection is extremely poor (judged by staff), for multiple competitors, you may be DQ'd to protect the integrity of the tournament. • Either:

1. Change your Discord name to your startgg and in-game name.
2. Inform your @bracket runner of who you are. • On tournament day -- after the initial check-in for the tournament -- once a set has been called, competitors have 5 minutes to CHECK-IN; else risk DQ. • Upon the end of a set, either player must report their set to your @bracket runner in Discord. Even if you are on stream! • DO NOT compete in Round 1 until the tournament has officially begun. Brackets are automatically reorganized by startgg prior to the start of the tournament to account for competitors who have not checked in. (This usually takes a few minutes past start time to assure proper seeding)
