Substitutions

• You may designate substitute players for your team before registration closes.
• If you cannot complete a match without subbing more than one player, you must forfeit.
• Allowing someone else to play using your account is grounds for disqualification and possible ban from future tournaments.
• If you need to use your sub, you must inform the opposing team right away and they have a right to redo bans and picks if they wish.
• The substitute player must not be competing in the tournament on a different team.
• The substitute player must not be named as a substitute for another team in the same tournament.
• Trying to sub in anyone other than this named player will result in disqualification and possible ban from future tournaments.
• Trying to abuse this system to bring in a ringer, to enter twice in the same tournament or to otherwise break the above rules will result in disqualification and possible ban from future tournaments.

Pre-Match

• The higher seeded (better seed, seed #1 being the best) team creates the custom game in Tournament Draft Mode.
• The higher seeded (better seed, seed #1 being the best) team bans and picks first.
• If you are bringing in your substitute, make your best effort to notify the opposing team before arranging bans and picks, otherwise you may have to do it over.
• When planning matches be very clear about which time zone you are referring to in order to avoid disputes later. For NA tournaments we recommend using PST (GMT-8) as that is the MOBAFire.com time. For EU tournaments we recommend using GMT+0. Be especially clear during daylight savings time.
• If your opponent does not follow the agreed upon picks, bans or schedule be sure to take screenshots as evidence and let the admins know right away.

No-shows and Other Disputes

• If your team does not show up in full within 15 minutes of a pre-arranged match it is considered a no-show and you must forfeit the game, resulting in your elimination from the tournament. You cannot compete as a partial team.
• In the event of a server outage, either on Riot's end or on MOBAFire's end, the round may be extended at the discretion of the admins to give everyone time to re-arrange matches.
• Time extensions do not apply to teams that agreed on a match time and did not show up, unless the no-show was a result of the server outage. If you do not show up in full force, you forfeit and cannot reschedule.
• If you were unable to schedule a match due to schedule conflicts and were ready to forfeit or coin flip, but then an extension got added, you may still try again to schedule the match in the expanded time.
• In the event of a no-show by your opponent, or any other dispute, please take screenshots and provide as much evidence as possible to ensure your dispute is handled swiftly and fairly.
• Immediately report all disputes to the tournament manager for the fastest resolution.
• Do not get into fights with the opposing team. If tempers are flaring then please take a step back and allow the admins to handle it.
• If there is not enough evidence to sway the decision either way, the round may be settled by a coin flip, which will be performed by the admins as a neutral party.
• If the admins discover any foul play from either team, you will be disqualified and may additionally be banned from future tournaments.
• Please do not discuss disputes outside of the MOBAFire.com PM system, otherwise evidence may not be considered in the admin's ruling.
