FAQ
Q: In the event of network failure, what will happen?
A: If the entire internet fails dropping all players offline, the match will be replayed with the same picks/bans to ensure continuity.
Q: My PC crashed during the load screen?
A: When we setup the competition, you will need to set it up as a custom match which enables pausing to ensure no disadvantage. This is why tournament draft is used.
Q: I went out for dinner/food/other and missed my comp?
A: If you don't respond to calls to check in, your team will be disqualified. The delays often cause comps to overrun and result in people missing other scheduled.
Q: Can I double book for competitions?
A: In short, no. As above we find people will be busy playing other games and delay those waiting. At v27 we had a team who waited 3 hours for their match to begin because the other team were constantly not available. From v28 onward, if you aren't going to be available, we will disqualify the team as the delays it causes aren't fair on other competitors.
Q: Can I bring a player in from outside the event?
A: No, players must be have registered on Respawn.com.au and paid their entry fee.
Q: Can my team have a sub?
A: Yes - However as above, they must be paid/checked into the EMS fully.
Q: What about <champion name here>?
A: Tournaments do not restrict what champions(toons) you may use, however be mindful the picks/bans process in Tournament selection may result in your opponents either banning him or counter picking him.
Q: What arena will be run on?
A: Oceania (OCE)
Q: Can /pause be used?
A: Yes, in certain circumstances such as technical faults (ie: my support disconnected/dead keyboard/table switch fails/table power fails). If the whole team drops, refer to the above question on that.
Special Notes
Because we are running in tournament draft mode to ensure the picks/bans are fair to the entire process, you MUST HAVE 16 champions in your account. Champions these days are fairly cheap to purchase with either IP or RP. If you don't have 16 champions, this will make it difficult to be fair in the process.
If you have any questions, feel free to post here or PM me directly.
Get your teams ready, practiced and ready to roll!
And my god bestow your team a Penta!
Jeffy (or on OCE I am JFed)
