Stoppage of Play
A player, who is experiences technical issues, on any team may call for a game restart
prior to first blood within the first 5 minutes of the game (i.e. before the timer shows 5:00).
The player must be experiencing a hardware malfunction (e.g. monitor, peripheral, etc), a
physical disruption (e.g. fan interference, table or chair breakage), or a configuration
issues (e.g. runes, masteries, or summoner spells are not properly applied). The player
must declare the issue in public chat or to a tournament administrator and then
intentionally disconnect. Once the player disconnects, the game is considered null and
void and should be restarted unless a tournament administrator determines that the
conduct represents unfair play.
If an unintentional disconnection occurs within 5 minutes from the start of the match &
before first blood –OR– a player’s client crashes or fails to load after champion selection,
then the match must be restarted. Otherwise if the unintentional disconnection occurs
after those milestones, the game will continue as normal. The crashed player may
reconnect into the game as soon as they are able.
If a player intentionally disconnects without specifying a reason, then the game will
continue as normal.
If a server crash occurs, then the tournament director or head referee will decide either
between (a) restarting the game or (b) awarding the game to one of the teams. As a
guideline, a game victory will only be awarded in a situation where one team was on the
verge of certain defeat (e.g. A nexus was about to be destroyed).
UNFAIR PLAY
- The use of any cheat program and/or map hack program.
- An intentional disconnection without a proper and explicitly stated reason
- The use of any settings exceeding the standard and permitted settings
- Intentionally allowing an opponent to win a game.
- Unsportsmanlike or disruptive behavior such as inappropriate and/or unprofessional actions directed towards another player or tournament official.
- The use of a game bug that is determined by the board of referees as being unfair.
- The use of an ineligible player (aka “ringing”)
Upon discovery of any player committing any violations regarded as unfair play, the offending player, at the sole discretion of the tournament director or a group of referees, may receive a warning, a forfeit loss, disqualified from the tournament. During the course of the event, the tournament director or group of referees may determine other actions to embody unfair play.
MULTIPLE TEAM PARTICIPATION
Players participating in the same tournament through multiple teams is strictly prohibited. Players caught participating on multiple teams within the same event will be penalized by having all teams they are participating with removed from the event.
