Rosters
Minimum & Maximum Players
This tournament is for Naraka: Bladepoint Solos. Users will only be allowed to compete alone.
Player IDs
For this tournament, players must register their Naraka 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. Spelling, spaces and characters must be exact, but do not need to be case sensitive. To find your Naraka ID go into the game and select Options > Account > Naraka Account.
Your Naraka ID is needed to determine your ranking and your seeding in the tournament. If your username is found to be incorrect or you have input an email address instead of your Naraka ID then you will be disqualified.
Substitutes
Players are not permitted to use a substitute at any point, or to let anyone else play for them. If you are unable to play during the tournament, please refrain from signing up. If you are unable to complete the tournament once starting, you will be required to forfeit.
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. If a player is ineligible to play in a match they will forfeit the match. Proof must be shown to support any claims of an ineligible player playing in a match.
If a player is found to be using an ineligible account or an account was not entered into the tournament, they will forfeit the match and not be allowed to compete in the rest of the Season. If you think an opponent is playing on an ineligible account, please alert an admin and post proof in the screenshots channel on the EGL Discord.

Game Session Setup
Signups will be approved on a highest-rank-first basis, with ranks measured at the time registration closes. This means that you may not be accepted into the tournament just by signing up! Make sure to play on the solo ladder and increase your rank as high as possible when registration ends! In the event of a tie in rank, Killing points will be used to differentiate players, and those with more Killing points will be seeded higher.
Please join the Discord Server: EGL North America, where you will be assigned the proper role once you have been seeded into the tournament.
30 minutes prior to the start of the quarterfinals of Season One, the lobby name and password will be distributed in the EGL North America discord server in the lobby-info channel of the EGL North America Discord.

Reporting
Match Result
All players are responsible for saving the result of a match. This can be done by taking a screenshot. While all EGL admins will have access to the results of the match following its conclusion, we ask that all participants manually save the results so as to avoid any discrepencies.
Tournament standings will be updated by admins in the 'score-update' channel after each match.
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.
No Shows
There will be no leniency for no shows. Players must be on the EGL NA Discord 30 minutes prior to the match, and in the lobby before the match begins. Failure to do so will result in a forfeit.
Cheating
We have a zero tolerance policy for cheating. Players caught cheating, glitching or abusing in-game mechanics in any way will be permanently banned from the EGL site and all future competitions.
Evidence Policy
We strongly recommend that you obtain photo or video evidence showing the outcome of every match.
Evidence Requirements
If asked to provide evidence for the outcome of a match, all video and photographic evidence must clearly show the match score, time, players in the lobby and, if necessary, evidence of the rule violation of the opposing player.
Evidence that does not meet the above criteria will not be considered.
Uploading Evidence
All video evidence should be uploaded to an external website such as YouTube or posted in the screenshots channel on the Discord. Photographic evidence should be uploaded to the screenshots channel as well.
