2. Deck Rules and Match Format All matches must be played in the designated tournament area using a laptop/device that can use wired internet. Spektrum will supply you with an ethernet cable for tournament use. All matches are played bo5. All matches at Spektrum must be played on the Europe server. All players must set their chat status to busy, failing to do so will result in a warning. Spectating mode must be turned off for the tournament. Admins may instruct certain matches to ignore this due to broadcasting purposes. Match format is bo5 Last Hero Standing, all players submit 4 decks of unique classes, then blind ban one deck of their opponent.
Last Hero Standing is a bo5 format where if a player loses with their deck, the deck can’t be played in the remaining games of the match. A deck must be used until it loses a game. The first game in a match both players will blindly select decks. During a match players must promptly choose their next class or risk facing a penalty at the administrator's sole discretion. If a player selects a class that is no longer eligible to be played or banned, the game will count as a forfeit and their opponent will receive a win for that game and the match will continue. If a match ends in a draw (e.g. Hellfire kills both players) the match will be replayed using the same decks.
3. Technical Issues If either player disconnects from the game due to technical reasons and the game is heavily favoured to the extent that the game would definitely have been won by one player, provided a screenshot of the game prior to the disconnect, an administrator may rule the game in favour of said player. Should the game be too close to call, it will be replayed. Our main source for tournament internet will be wired internet. If a player uses an alternative connection they do so at their own risk and can’t be guaranteed the same stability.
4. Behavior and Conduct a. If a participant commits violent acts, or threatens to commit violent acts, against any other player in the Tournament, any admin, or any spectators of the Tournament, he or she may be disqualified from the Tournament. b. If a participant behaves in any unsportsmanlike way it is possible, to the sole discretion of the administrators they will receive a penalty. c. It is a players responsibility to be on time for their matches, if they are late they will suffer a penalty either losing a game after 10 minutes, or the entire match after 15 minutes as to not delay the entire tournament. A player is required to inform the tournament staff if they are late for a match, if not they will be dropped from the tournament. d. One 5min break is allowed during a match. e. Coaching is not allowed during a match. 5. Tournament Eligibility Anyone Spektrum judges may have a conflict of interest may be disallowed to participate. 6. Penalties Depending on the situation a player could be penalized in any of the following ways: a. Penalized a game in a match (eg. starting their next match 0-1 instead of 0-0)
b. Penalized a match (eg. forfeiting a match, or being eliminated from the tournament) c. Disqualified from the tournament entirely 7.
