WarZone Tournament Rules

Game Rules

1. At least one member of every team MUST join our discord @ https://discord.gg/xgjdNSq or your team will not be entered.
2. Finding a Match:  For a 2v2 tournament, all four (4) players will join one lobby and search for a squad game.
3. Server Selection: The higher seeded team gets to host the first game, the lower seeded team hosts the second game.
4. Win Condition: The winning team will be determined by the team with the largest number of total kills over two games played. If their is a tie, the tiebreaker will be determined by the team that has the most damage.
   • Kills made after a match has concluded will not count. Once no player is left standing, the match is concluded. 
     • Example: Players A, B, and C are all dead. Player D is still standing. If Player A gets a kill, that kill will count towards the team’s overall score. The second that player D dies, no other kills that occur after Player D’s death will be counted.
     • Gulag kills do count towards total kills.
     • Reviving teammates is allowed. 
5. Griefing: Teams are permitted to work together, however, you may not intentionally cause the death of your opponent or negatively impact your opponent’s gameplay. This includes any negative interference in your opponents gameplay. Doing so will result in a forfeit of kills for that map.
6. Cross Platform: Cross platform is permitted. Players can play on either PS4 Console, Xbox console, PC and switch for online events, and PS4 with controller, PS4 with keyboard and mouse, or Xbox with controller.

Bracket Play

1. Single Elimination: After losing a match, teams will be eliminated from the bracket.
2. Default Start Time: All round one (1) matches have the same default start time. After round one (1), all Matches have a unique default start time that is dependent upon the time at which the teams’ previous round results were submitted. Matches must be started by their default start time and played until completion. Postponing matches is only at the discretion of Online Tournament staff.
3. Double Forfeit: If a match is not played and neither team submits a ticket requesting the forfeit win, or both teams otherwise forfeit a game/match, the game/match win will be awarded to the higher seeded team.
4. Seeding: Teams will be randomly seeded at of the close of registration. Seeds are done in ascending order. The higher seed is determined by the team with the seed closest to zero (0).
   • Example: Seed four (4) is a higher seed than seed ten (10).
