Participation​

To participate in the Age of Empires 4 Pro League, players must join the official Discord server here and register on the tournament page on smash.gg - open from the 14th of December at 18.00 GMT to the 6th of January at 18.00 GMT.

Before registering for the event, all relevant players must first ensure that they have an account on smash.gg - a team may register with a minimum of three players and have the option to add another two substitute players.

Once everyone has an account, the team captain will register for the tournament, where they will either select a pre-existing team or, in most cases, create a new team. Once the captain has added the relevant players and finished the registration, the rest of the team will receive a notification to accept this team invitation - once accepted, all players must also complete the registration form.

Check-in​

Check-in is match-specific, which means there will not be a global check-in process prior to the event, but instead, individual check-ins before each matchup begins. Once a matchup becomes available, the team captain will have precisely 30 minutes to check-in before the team gets automatically disqualified. You may check-in by going to your match, going to tasks and clicking the check-in button. Once you have checked in, it is important that you remain available so you may start your next match as soon as both contestants have checked in.

Communication​

It is vital to communicate appropriately with your opponents. Teams must use the chat feature to do general communication and drafting. In the case of an issue or dispute that cannot be resolved between the teams, a moderator can be requested by clicking the link underneath the chatbox.

Reporting Scores​

Both team captains must report scores between each game. Once a score is reported, the opponent team will have ten minutes to either confirm the reported score or dispute it. If a dispute cannot be settled, an administrator may be contacted.
