Please use the Battlefy match chat to communicate with the other team. Go to your active match (on the tournament page, your Match Dashboard, or the bracket itself) and use the chat on the match reporting page. If the other team doesn't respond, let us know on Discord.

Team Captains will be pinged in Discord to play their matches. All teams must be in the SQ Discord. Once you're in Discord, have your Team Captain get the captain role by going to the #bot text channel and typing !rank Team Captains

Teams that fail to start their match, show their activity, ping staff, or otherwise within the first ten minutes will receive a game loss. Another five minute failure to show will result in a disqualification.

Captains must report their scores on Battlefy immediately following a victory. Staff will ping any team failing to do so. Please work with us in #CaptainsChat if you have trouble reporting your scores.

Teams that do not communicate via Battlefy match chat or Discord will be considered inactive/unavailable/no-showed and risk disqualification.

Teams risk having their results voided and risk disqualification if they do not report their scores following a victory.
