Battalion 1944 UK Masters at Insomnia62
Rules
We won't be using the UK Masters discord, we'll be using the official ThePlays Discord (https://discord.gg/7CAtHjm).
Check in and team briefing is at 11am at the tuck shop in BYOC, and games should be starting at midday.
Please make sure you follow all the rules found here below, specifically the rules about boosting.
Event Rules
Each player must own a valid Bring-Your-Own-Computer or Console (depending on title) Ticket.
Every member of the team must be in attendance at the event, and playing from the venue.
Either of these rules being broken will result in immediate disqualification of the entire team.
Global Tournament Rules, Terms and Conditions
You may only enter one UK Masters BYOC prize tournament at the event. Registering for more than one prize tournament may result in you or your team being disqualified from all tournaments at the event.
Latest Amendment: 22nd February 2018. This date shows when the last changes to this ruleset were made, while we try to keep our rulesets consistent between tournaments and events, the UK Masters staff reserve the right to change the Rules & Conditions at any time in order to maintain an environment of fair competition for all entrants.
Eligibility
All matches must be played on or with the resources supplied by UK Masters - for example all matches must be played on servers provided at the event.
In order to participate in the tournament each team requires a full roster to be signed up; teams without the requisite number of players may not be admitted into the qualifying group stage.
The tournament works on a first-come-first-served basis, when the team limit is reached we will be unable to guarantee admission for any new teams. You may join the waiting list but there is the possibility that the team will not be able to play in the opening qualifier stages of the tournament, in order to ensure you are able to take part please sign up with a full roster well in advance of the event.
Teams have 60 minutes from 12pm-1pm on the Friday of Insomnia to check their team into the event. If you do not check in during this period you will not be granted admission to the tournament, as it is assumed that you are not present at the event and as such are unable to play.
