TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Players must adhere and agree to the following terms and conditions as seen on start.gg.
FORMAT
Tournament Format - A Match Point Eligible System Will be used.
Games will alternate on Storm Point and World's Edge.
Once a Team reaches (50) points (“Match Point Threshold”) it is “Match Point Eligible.”
Once a Team is Match Point Eligible, winning a match after the match in which they reach the Match Point Threshold will result in them being declared winners of that tournament. Other Teams will be ranked according to their Round Score from this final round. If a winning Team is declared before six (6) matches have been played the winning Team will stop playing and the match series will continue uninterrupted with all remaining teams continuing to compete until six (6) matches have been completed. Following the match series all remaining Teams will be ranked according to their Round Score from the final round.
