General competition rules

• Each competition may have a specific set of rules that complement the general rules.

    • If both opponents/teams are late, the team who proceeds to the next round will be determined via a random draw.
  • Every team will have 30 minutes after each match round to submit the result through Partynet. After this period of time the result will be deemed invalid and the competition will continue.
  • If the results have not been entered after the 30 minute period, the players for that round will be disqualified and, if necessary, a random draw will occur to continue with the competition.
