MERCY RULES:
If the following conditions are met during group play, the tournament operator will award a game victory to the Competitor with the score advantage in the interest of continuing the tournament in a timely manner.

NO REFUNDS WILL BE GIVEN ONCE TOURNAMENT ADMISSION FEES AND REGISTRATION HAVE BEEN RECEIVED FROM A PLAYER BY EVENT MANAGEMENT.


Rules are subject to change at any time by C4 management.
