COMPETING:

You must check-in on the Challonge bracket. The Challonge website will remove players who do not check-in. Check-ins open thirty minutes before the tournament starts and are open till the start of the tournament. The tournament is not affected by players signing up and missing the tournaments. Feel free to sign-up for any tournaments regardless if you know you can make the tournament or not.

During the tournament you need to be in the West Coast Discord group. This is needed for opponents to be able to quickly and easily find each other.

Tournament admins will announce when the bracket is final and the tournament has started in the Discord server. When this is announced, refresh your Challonge bracket and find your opponent's name. Find the same name in Discord and send them a direct message. The West Coast chat room will have a list of all tournament participants. If you can not locate your current opponent through Discord then directly message one of the tournament admins.

After a series is completed you may enter the set score on the Challonge bracket. You may also report your score to a tournament admin and they will report your score for you. The Challonge bracket will update automatically for you to find your next opponent.

We highly recommend players do a connection test before starting their series. If either player is experiencing any connection problems contact a tournament admin immediately. The tournament admin will go through steps to resolve the connection issues and take appropriate actions from there.

If for any reason you need to leave the tournament early or have issues not covered above, contact a tournament admin immediately.

Gentleman's Clause: Any stage may be played on if both players agree to it.

If a match times out, the winner is determined by remaining stocks, then lowest percentage on the same stock.

Pausing Results in a stock loss, at the discretion of the opponent.
