All matches in The DOME Tournament are expected to begin on time.
All matches in The DOME Tournament shall be played on Dallas or Chicago. Opposing Captains may discuss and request, but the Host Captain decides.
The Host Captain has the responsibility to post a valid Spark Link in the Match Channel prior to the scheduled match start time. Failure to do so may result in forfeit.
The match is expected to begin within 10 minutes of scheduled start time. Any team that has not “Ready Up” by said time may be forfeit. If this requires either or both Captains to begin the match as a 1v4 to start on time — so be it. Plan ahead.
Timeouts/pauses are limited to 5 minutes total per team over both rounds, but need not all be taken at once. Frivolous timeouts or exploitation of this leniency may be met with forfeiture.
In-game rules should be modified to GPA on, Self goaling off, 2 Rounds. It is the responsibility of the Captains to ensure this. If both forget, consent is implied to leave the rules at default.
Only 2 standard 10min rounds should be played in Qualifiers. Round 3 should never be played, even if each team has won a round.
