Online Operation

All team captains must be in the Tournament voice channel of the Grid discord server 30 minutes before the tournament begins or be disqualified.

When the tournament begins, a Grid organizer will bring each pair of competing team captains into a private discord call to go over the rules and help set up the match. An organizer may also ask to spectate the game in order to stream it on the Grid Twitch channel (twitch.tv/thegridgamingus).

In the event of an issue, a player may pause the game for any reason, with a maximum of 10 minutes pause time throughout the entire to tournament. All pauses must be reported to the TO.

After a match is completed, both team captains take a screenshot of the match results, and report the scores to a Grid organizer in the discord.

In-Store Operation

All rules for online competition still apply, but all competitors may choose to play their matches in-store for no additional charge. In addition throughout the competition there will be random drawings for snacks, drinks, and a 30-day Grid Membership.
