Tournament Rules

#DA RULES

- REPORT YOUR MATCHES! As soon as a match ends, don't forget to fill the results quickly on Smash.gg, to keep the tourney moving fast!!

- No Cheating

- At any time when a game is not being played, you may request "OutOfTouch" to test the lag on a connection within an arena lobby. If it is determined that the connection is unplayable, the individual severely lagging will be DQ'd.

- IF YOU START A GAME WITHOUT CHECKING LAG YOU MUST PLAY IT OUT. You CANNOT void a game that was started even if it was lagging.

- EXCESSIVE Lag is bannable. (No worries, a small amount of lag is okay.)

- No Harassing. If someone beats you fair and square, don't message them or annoy them on Discord.

- The TO's decisions are final. If you disagree you can DM "OutOfTouch" on the Discord server.
