Fortnite: Kill Frenzy Cup Overview

The administration team reserve the right to overrule any pre-stated tournament rules at any given point if deemed necessary.

The open qualifier and Proving Grounds tournament will follow all official rules as put forth by Riot Games. Those rules can be located here: 2021 North America Amateur Rule Set.

The top 8 finishers in the Open Qualifier will be placed into the Group stage of the Summer Showdown tournament.

Prizing for Summer Showdown is as follows (please note there is no cash prizing for the Open Qualifier):

Riot advise that summoners should not change their player name until after they have received any outstanding prizes. In doing so, summoners risk losing their prize.

The tournament start time is as follows:

Other rounds are allowed to start once the previous round is completed. Please wait until an admin verifies that your match is ready to begin before starting a match.

Minimum & Maximum Summoners
Rosters must contain the minimum number of summoners as shown in the tournament description. For example in a 5v5 tournament, rosters must contain a minimum of five (5) summoners in order to be able to participate.

Player Eligibility
It is both teams responsibility to verify the eligibility of all summoners playing in the match prior to starting or continuing any match play. By allowing the match to start, both teams agree that the summoners in the lobby when the match is started are allowed to participate in the whole match series, even if some of the summoners in the lobby are not listed on the team's roster.

Pickups
Teams are not permitted to use a pickup at any point in a match. A pickup is defined as someone who is not listed on the team’s roster.

Summoner Name
All League of Legends Summoner names on a team’s roster must be valid. Spelling, spaces and characters must be exact, but do not need to be case sensitive.

Users are permitted to be listed on only one team in each tournament at any given time.

All matches are to be played using the following settings:

General Settings

Tahm Kench is currently unavailable. Dr. Mundo is currently unavailable.

Match Formats
Teams will play matches in the following formats, depending upon the tournament round:

Default Maps
The default maps for each round are as follows:

Match Delay
Matches must be played in their entirety without delay. The match must still be completed before the start time of the next tournament round, which follows immediately.

Failure to complete a match before the start time & date of the next tournament round may result in one or both teams forfeiting the match and removed from the tournament.

Teams may not delay the match for more than fifteen (15) minutes between each map. If a team delays the start for longer than ten (10) minutes between maps, they will forfeit that map.

The team that did not delay must provide proof showing that this ten (10) minute delay did occur.

Incorrect Match Settings
It is the hosting team’s responsibility to ensure that the match settings are as outlined above in the Match Settings. If you notice that the host has the incorrect match settings, please record video proof of what is wrong, ensuring that the scores, time, incorrect rules and the summoners in the lobby are clearly visible and then immediately leave the game.

In the instance that the hosting team have the correct match settings and you leave the game before it is completed, the team that did not leave will receive the win for that map.

In the instance that the hosting team have the incorrect match settings and you do not leave the game before it is completed, the result of that map will stand.

The hosting team will not forfeit the map if the non hosting team does not leave the match and the map is completed.

Match Result
Both teams are responsible for reporting the result of a match. YOU MUST PROVIDE SCREENSHOT EVIDENCE OF THE POST-GAME VICTORY SCREEN. This can be done by clicking on the match fixture link found under the team fixtures & results tab.

Tournament brackets will be updated automatically once both teams have reported the match.

In the instance that only one team reports the match result, an admin will process the result before or on the next round start time. Results will not manually be reported before this time.

Disputed Result
In the instance that both teams report conflicting results, the match will be placed into dispute and will be handled by a member of staff.

Evidence
In the event of a dispute, both teams will be asked to provide evidence of their match victory. Please see the Evidence Policy section below to find out what evidence is required.

If neither team is able to provide evidence of their match victory, both teams will be removed from the tournament.

A team has fifteen (15) minutes to show-up and be ready to start the match. Failure to do so will result in a forfeit.

No Show Proof
If you have a no show issue, you must provide evidence that you have invited all members of the opposing team to play prior to the fifteen (15) minute no show deadline.
