Qualifying Ruleset: Best of Five, Double Elimination
- Pictures must be taken by both teams of all matches played in a set, otherwise the set for both teams will not count.

Imgur.com is a good host for using pictures.
- Each team member is recommended to have their tag on at all times when playing in the tournament.
- If a disconnection occurs during a match, the match will be replayed. if it occurs again within the same game, whatever team was leading will win immediately. Consider changing hosts if it continues to happen.
