I. General Rules



Eligibility

All players participating in this tournament must be a registered user on ESEN’s platform, https://kingofnordic.com. To be able to invite players to custom matches, you need to be able to find your opponent’s nickname. Therefore, we demand all participants to add their correct Nickname to their profile. All matches must be played on one of the European servers. If you do not meet these requirements, you won’t be allowed to participate.

Names

Offending team names and/or player nicknames will be edited or erased. Players will have to compete under their officially registered Quake Champions account name. The same name must be entered as nickname here on the website or mentioned in the description part of your profile.

Technical issues

Players are responsible for their technical issues, for example hardware or internet issues. Matches will not be rescheduled because of technical issues, and matches will be played nevertheless. If the maximum pause time is exceeded, the game goes on, even if the problem is not solved yet.

Extra

To keep tournaments as efficient as possible, ESEN reserves the right to disqualify teams. This will only be done in cases where a team purposefully stalls or attempts to block another team. In some scenarios, both teams may be affected. Any team found to be using a known exploit will forfeit their game upon the first occurrence of the exploit. If the team is found to use another known exploit for the second time and it is determined to have been done on purpose, they will be removed from the event and barred from any future events.

II. Match Rules



No Show

If a participant is not ready to play 15 minutes after the scheduled match time, please contact an admin through the discord channel.
