Rules

Competitive Rules

If you join, check in, or play a map, these rules apply. Owner and designated caster rulings are final.

Map and hero-ban process in plain English

This tournament uses an OWCS-style map and hero-ban process. Map 1 is Control and the higher seed chooses the Control map and starting side. After that, the team that lost the previous map picks the next legal map, mode, and starting side. Each team bans one hero per map; teams cannot repeat their own hero ban in the same series, and both bans on a map cannot be from the same role.

  1. Format

    6v6 Overwatch. Double elimination. Bracket matches are Best of 5 and Grand Final is Best of 7 with no bracket reset.

  2. Teams

    Captains draft their own teams from the approved player pool using a tier-based draft format. Rosters lock at 6 starters and 2 substitutes.

  3. Roles

    No role swaps. Players must play the role they registered, drafted, or were assigned for that series.

  4. Subs

    Only registered substitutes can play after roster lock. Subs enter between maps, never mid-map.

  5. Check-In

    Teams must field 6 eligible players within 10 minutes of match time or admins may call a forfeit.

  6. Maps

    Map 1 is Control. After that, the previous map loser picks the next legal map, mode, and starting side.

  7. Hero Bans

    Each team bans 1 hero per map. Teams cannot repeat their own ban in a series, and both bans cannot be from the same role.

  8. Conduct

    No cheating, throwing, griefing, harassment, stream sniping, lobby leaks, alt play, impersonation, or intentional stalling.

  9. Penalties

    Rule breaks can result in immediate penalty or disqualification. No warnings are required.

  10. Community Event Notice

    Roo Industries runs this tournament independently. It is not endorsed, sponsored, or affiliated with Blizzard Entertainment.
