## The basics explained.
### How to participate.
**1) Classic bracket tournaments**
- Half an hour before the tournament starts you need to 'Check in' on the general overview page of the tournament. Be sure to select the right account when checking in.
- We advice that team 'Blue' invites team 'Red' (you can see your colour in your match) to make sure everything goes smooth and discussion can be avoided.
- During a tournament you need to check in for every round in the 'Match' tab. You have five minutes to confirm your presence. When you are checked in you still have 5 minutes to start your game. Respect this timing.
- When you are AFK in your first match or you forfeit the first match you will be disqualified from the tournament.
- When you start a match, you agree with all settings. Some exceptions can be made here, you will find these in the gamespecific rules for each game if needed.
**2) Leagues**
- During a league you can play on Kayzr 24/7. The only thing you have to do is join the queue.
- **Solo queue:** You are alone and will be matched with random teammates. Make sure you select the correct gamertag.
- **Team queue:** Enter the queue with your team. You can create a team on the '[teams](https://app.kayzr.com/Teams)' page.
- You need to play 3 games minimum to receive rewards at the end!

## Tournament chat
- Be nice. Spamming, excessive memeing & all other forms of negative content will be deleted. Depending on the severity of your content you can get disqualified or even banned from the platform.
- Links are allowed as long as they contain content suited for ages from 13+.
- Problems concerning your match should be discussed in the matchchat. Spamming these problems in the tournament chat will result in a ban from the chat.
* * *
## Disconnects
- When a player disconnects in a 1v1 tournament you collect evidence by taking a printscreen. You report this to the mod instantly, not after the game.
- When a disconnect happens during team tournaments, you continue playing! (1v2, 4v5,...) if a reconnect is possible, this is allowed. If the whole team disconnects you collect evidence by taking a printscreen & you report it to the mod instantly.
- If both players disconnect, replay the match as quickly as possible.
- Do you have the correct printscreens of your result? Then you can leave the game/lobby.
- *ALWAYS REPORT HONESTLY. DO NOT ASK FOR SCREENSHOTS*. If there are problems, ask a moderator to help. If screenshots are needed he/she will ask for them.
* * *
## Accounts & names
- Names have to be correct. When a name is incorrect you collect evidence and report this to the moderators.
- If someone of your team needs to leave, the other team can claim the win in case of incomplete teams.
- Playing with a sub is only allowed if the other team agrees to it.
* * *
## Coinfarming
- Did you check in for a tournament but you give away the win without playing? This is considered coinfarming. **Getting caught for coinfarming or banevading will result in a ban & we will take away all of your Kayzrcoins.**
- Do you have an opponent who gives away wins? Be sure to signal this to a moderator. You will still advance to the next round and the abuser will be caught.
- Did you check in and a last-minute problem occurs? Just Forfeit your match correctly by clicking the flag in 'Match'.
- **important** In leagues you can only forfeit 3 times before you get disqualified from the tournament. Only use this feature when you really have to.

## Help & moderating.
- Every tournament has a gamespecific ruleset. By participating in our tournaments you declare you've read them & know them. In every tournament problems can occur, make sure to collect the correct 'evidence' so the moderator can make a call according to the rules if needed.
- If problems occur, you can summon a wild moderator in your 'match' by creating a ticket. In classic bracket tournaments a moderator will appear ASAP in the chat. For 'Leagues' we have an automated modding system and you just follow the steps on your screen. A moderator will make the right call afterwards.
- The moderators are here to help & make sure everyone has a nice experience. They will always apply the rules, however: they have the right to make a call that they seem fit if someone exploits certain elements in the rulebook or when unique situations occur.
- These people are all volunteers who are a vital part in the excistence of this platform. Make sure to treat them with respect & don't be afraid to ask their help if you have questions concerning our platform.
