The Grid is hosting a free-for-all solos Warzone Kill Race tournament with a prize pot of $150. The race starts at 2:00 PM CST, and will run until 5 PM CST. The tournament is limited to the first 32 players so sign up quick!

Online Operation

All team captains must be in the Tournament Check-in voice channel of the Grid discord server 30 minutes before the tournament begins or be disqualified.

When the tournament begins, all players must begin a public stream of their gameplay. In the event of an issue, a player should immediately report to the TO to avoid disqualification. Players with technical issues including internet or power outages during the event are not eligible for a refund.

After a match is completed, all players must submit a link to their full stream VOD to [email protected] within 20 minutes of ending their stream. Grid TOs will be reviewing the tapes for the next three days and announcing the winners in our discord server.

In-Store Operation

All rules for online competition still apply, but all competitors may choose to play their matches in-store for no additional charge. The Grid does not have preloaded accounts so in-store players will need to log in with own their own copy of a game.

Streaming

Beginning at 2 PM CST, players must begin a begin a public stream of their game on one or more of the following platforms:

• Twitch
• Youtube Gaming
• Facebook
• Smashcast

The title of a valid stream submission must include "TheGridEsports.com". Streams with titles that do not include "TheGridEsports.com", or include some other tournament title while live will not be counted, and may result in disqualification from the event.

The stream must have a built in delay of at least 1 minute and no more than 15 minutes. Players streaming are encouraged to mention the event, but making false statements related to the event (including but not limited to claiming to be sponsored by The Grid Esports) may result in disqualification.

Gameplay

Players may enter and play as many games between the hours of 2 and 5 PM CST as they choose. Games that run past 5 PM may still be submitted provided the lobby has started and player control has begun before 4:55 PM CST. Of all matches played only the top four (4) from each player will be counted towards their kill amount.

The tie breaker value will be highest placement in a single game. Only the four games counted towards the kill race score will be considered in tie breaks. Cases of double tie breaks will look at the second highest placement and so on.

Games may be thrown out in cases where two players are matched together and are found to be colluding. Other cases of unfair play may be reported to a TO for evaluation.

> Fees and Prizing

The cost per player is $10. The pot is $150 split between the top three places at 50-30-20. In the situation that fewer than 8 players have signed up, the tournament may be canceled in which case players will be refunded.

If you have any questions message DrakePrime on the Discord or email [email protected].

General

All event rules can be viewed under the relevant event page. Players are subject to the same terms and conditions of the Grid gaming center, and players at in-store events will be required to sign a waiver for use of equipment and facilities.

In the case of tournaments with fewer than 5 teams signed up at the time of the first game, the listed prize split for that event will be replaced with "winner-take-all".

For all online tournaments, a team captain will be required to join our Discord server, but we highly recommend everyone join the server for updates and community involvement.

Online Tournament Operation

Team captains must be in the Tournament voice channel of the Grid discord server 30 minutes before the tournament begins or be disqualified.

When the tournament begins, a Grid organizer will bring each pair of competing team captains into a private discord call to go over the rules and help set up the match. An organizer may also ask to spectate the game in order to stream it on the Grid Twitch channel (twitch.tv/thegridgamingus).

In the event of an issue, a player may pause the game, with a maximum of 10 minutes pause time throughout the entire tournament per team. All pauses must be reported to the TO.

After a match is completed, both team captains take a screenshot of the match results, and report the scores to a Grid organizer in the discord.

All entrants may also choose to play their matches in-store for no additional charge.

Covid Policies

It’s our responsibility to do everything we can to protect the health and safety of our players and staff. So, we’ve invested in ways that greatly reduce the spread of the virus.

• We installed a state-of-the-art Halo Reme LED-UV light in the air handling system. It is the same technology used to clean and reuse PPE.
• Lexan dividers between each gaming station which are cleaned regularly.
• Our staff members wear masks at all times and we ask that you do the same, as well as maintain safe social distancing whenever possible.
• We thoroughly clean each station after every use, including sterilizing headsets, keyboards, mice, chairs and all desk surfaces
• Hand sanitizer bottles are placed throughout our venue.
• We meticulously clean our entire gaming center each night after closing.

If you’ve had any symptoms of any kind of flu in the past 7 days, we ask you to please postpone your visit to the Grid. Let’s have fun and be part of the cure, not part of the cause.
