If the admin staff determine that a player is trying to avoid scheduling and playing the tournament games, the player may be warned, receive an admin loss for the game or match or be disqualified from the SI tournament.
- If both players cannot come to an agreement in scheduling their match, the Staff will analyze the situation, schedule, and time zones, in order to add a viable Admin Time that suits both players, to the best of our ability.
- Every player must respect their opponent. Bad behavior (determined by staff) will result in a warning and may lead to an immediate disqualification. This tournament values not only great skills, but also sportsmanship and fairness. Any insult, racism or flaming will not be tolerated. Laming and mind games in game are allowed .
- All players must agree to the No Smurf rule. Smurfing and account sharing is not allowed. Any discovery of the mentioned will result in immediate disqualification.

- Additional time to complete your games will NOT be allowed under any circumstances!
- All the games must be scheduled and confirmed by both players in the SIScheduling Forums, informing the other player of the exact date and time of the arranged games. The scheduled time needs to be confirmed at least 24 hours in advance to allow for stream set up.

If one of the players fails to arrive, the waiting player must take a screenshot showing http://www.worldtimeserver.com/current_time_in_UTC.aspx (so the current time is clearly visible) with the Tournament Lobby Game Room, and post the screenshot in Admin Requests topic( :arrow: Admin Requests, with a link to the post in the Scheduling forums where the game time was arranged and confirmed. This way, tournament admins will know how long the team waited and upon Admins decision, the team that did not come might get an Admin Loss for the games. Do not try to edit time arrangement posts in an attempt to get free wins, because our forum registers the exact date and hour of each edited post.
