By signing up to this tournament all participants agree that they have read and accept the Terms of Service (ToS) and the Privacy Policy.
Player Eligibility
This tournament is open to players of 13 years of age and over and any user that resides within either the US, Canada or Mexico.
The roster size for this tournament is limited to 1. The winning player can only receive prizing for one (1) player.

Rosters
Player IDs
For this tournament, players must register their Origin ID to their EGL Game & Social Accounts section on their EGL profile. All Player IDs on a team’s roster must be 100% valid and accurate.
If your username is found to be incorrect or you have input an email address instead of your Activision ID then you will be disqualified as this is strictly NOT allowed.
Substitutes
Players are not permitted to use a substitute at any point in a match. A substitute is defined as someone who is not listed on the Match Fixture page.
Roster Lock
Player IDs are stored when you enter a tournament, meaning that any changes made to a player's ID after they sign up for a tournament will not be updated on the roster. To avoid this change your username before signing up for a tournament or leave the tournament, change your game ID so that it is correct and then rejoin the tournament.
Player Eligibility
Only players listed on the Match Fixture page are eligible to play in tournament matches. It is both players responsibility to verify the eligibility of all players playing in the match. If a player uses an ineligible player in a match they will forfeit the match the ineligible player participated in. Proof must be shown to support any claims of an ineligible player playing in a match.
If the opposing player has an ineligible player present, you must tell the opposing player to replace that player with an eligible player. You must have given the player the required fifteen (15) minutes from match start time to substitute their ineligible player. If the player does not substitute their ineligible player, please report the scores in your favour and provide proof of the ineligible player in the game lobby.

How To Compete
Best of 1
All matches are Best of 1 (BO1) except the grand final. The winning player is the player with the highest overall kill-count at the end of the match. If a draw in kills occur, it's the player who survived the longest wins the match. If both players survive til the end of the match it's the player who had the last kill who wins that match.
Grand Final
The Grand Final will be played over 3 Maps (BO3), so the first player to get two (2) wins is crowned champion.
Game Session Setup
Either of the players can set up the match as the game is played on dedicated servers. The host will invite their opponent to the game session and start matchmaking.
How To Win
The player with the most kills at the end of the game session will be awarded the win. If there is a tie in kills, then the user that had the most overall damage wins. In the event that total damage is also a Tie the Player which survived the longest will be declared the Winner. Once the game has finished and all players are dead or the game was won you can get match evidence by going back to the lobby and selecting Match Summary - Scoreboard. Each team should take a screenshot or picture to show who won, example:
Sabotage
The players that have queued up together are NOT ALLOWED to contribute/cause the death of the player they're competing against within that game. Players caught doing so will be disqualified from their match.
Any claims of this happening must be submitted in video form and show all players usernames involved in the incident. Proof must be submitted either in the match dispute or through a ticket on the website. We will not accept screenshots in this case.
Matches
Server Issues
In the event of server issues arising, tournaments may be postponed or cancelled depending on the severity of the issue.
If the tournament is cancelled it will be announced on the EGL twitter page and EGL - Global Discord channel. The tournament title will also be adjusted to reflect this outcome.
Incorrect Match Settings
It is the hosting player’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/or the players in the lobby are clearly visible (depending on the accusation) and then immediately report this to the admin.
In the instance that the hosting player has the correct match settings and you leave the game before it is completed, the player that did not leave will receive the win for that match.
Forfeits
In order for a player to forfeit, the opposing player must leave the match as soon as they have gathered evidence of the opposing player violating the tournament rules.
Players will forfeit a round for the following reasons:
- Leaving a match prior to it's completion and then failing to provide valid proof of the accusation against the opposing player.
- Hosting a match with the incorrect Match Settings shown above.
- Delaying a match by more than fifteen (15) minutes since receiving the match fixtures for that round.
- The use of Jailbreak when the player is fully dead (after the use of Gulag)
Player Disconnections
If a player disconnects during the initial launch of a map, the map will be restarted from scratch. The initial launch is defined as the time before ANY points are scored by either player within the current match.
If a player disconnects after points have been scored by either player, the player with disconnection issues can continue playing with one player or forfeit the round.
If both players disagree over when the player disconnection took place, video proof must be provided that shows the scores and time at which the disconnection took place, as well as the players in the lobby.
Match Delay
Matches must be played in their entirety unless both players agree to delay the match. Maximum permitted time to delay a match is fifteen (15) minutes.
Failure to complete a match or report the scores within 50 minutes of receiving the match fixtures will result in disqualification for both players due to inactivity.
Players may not delay the match for more than fifteen (15) minutes between each round. If a player delays the start for longer than fifteen (15) minutes, the other player should report the scores in their favour and provide proof of the delay occurring.
The player that did not delay must provide video proof showing that this fifteen (15) minute delay did occur.

Disputed Result
In the instance that both players 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, the player that has disputed will be asked to provide proof of their accusation. Please see the Evidence Policy section below to find out what evidence is required.
If the disputing player is unable to provide valid evidence for the reason that they disputed, then the player will be removed from the tournament and will also receive a suspension due to disputing without valid reason/proof.
