RULES

Rules are subject to change as needed any time before the event has started. Join us in our Discord for Practice Rounds on Saturday 5/23 starting at 11am PST! https://discord.gg/RgyYU6e


This tournament is scheduled for 3 weekends, split between regions. This sign up page is for the 1st tournament day Sunday, May 24th for players located in the Americas. Tournaments will be split between North/South America and European regions in an effort to combat latency and increase fairness.

Top 4 teams from this event will move on to the Finals on 6/7.
Europe's tournament will be held on Sunday, May 31st and the sign up page located here: https://battlefy.com/shadow-gaming-tv/insurgency-sandstorm-sunday-may-31st-europe/5ec428c87e6a4054eeaf5695/info?infoTab=details
TO CLARIFY - Teams that are geographically closer to the European region CAN still enter the Americas tournament and teams from the Americas CAN enter the European region tournament. If your team chooses to enter cross region you have the opportunity to win both of the $1000 1st place prizes. -However- the choice to play cross region is yours. There will be no compensation or replays permitted for any ping or latency issues that your team encounters if you choose to play cross region. If your team enters both regional tournaments and you make it to the finals, you will need to participate in both the Americas and European Finals if you wish to win the $1000 1st place prize for each tournament.


Prizes will be awarded at the completion of the tournament, currently scheduled for Sunday, June 7th, 2020.


In order to compete in the proceeding rounds of the tournament, a team must have competed in the prior week (for their region). Teams cannot join or rejoin the tournament after missing a week.


Teams are required to have 5 players to register prior to the event. Teams are allowed up to 2 substitutions for the entirety of the tournament (2 weekends). Substitutes do not have to register for this event. If your team has fewer than 5 available players or you are looking for a team to join, please check out the Bench channel of our Discord at https://discord.gg/8wQTqJx


We will also be streaming as many of these matches as possible via our Twitch Channel. Follow along here and win prizes for participating! https://www.twitch.tv/shadowgamingfps

Cheating

Player reports of cheating will have replays investigated by a match expert and a New World Interactive representative. All servers have replays enabled for all matches. If you are caught cheating in this tournament, New World Interactive will issue a Steam/VAC ban to the offending player. Their team will also be disqualified from the tournament.
