Timing

You can find our time schedule on our website www.fom.be

Gameplay:

All cards are allowed in the tournament.

Important:

Banning is only required after the poule phase! During the poule phase picks are the only part you need to do.

Before the match starts, both players mention their 4 different heroes one by one (5 for the finals).

This can be done within the game's chat function. Or with classban.com each player bans one hero of the opponent.

The Player on the left side of the match starts.

 

The winner must change to a previously unused deck which has been selected for the match.

The loser may keep or change his deck for a previously unused deck which has been selected for the match.

It is not allowed to change any deck as soon as the poule phase begins, this goes for the remainder of the tournament.

All players are required to send an E-mail with their deck list to ducky@fom.be before the poule-phase begins. (23h)

Example:

·         Player A chooses Druid.

·         Player B chooses Warlock.

·         Player A chooses Warlock.

·         Player B chooses Hunter.

·         Player A chooses Warrior.

·         Player B chooses Rogue.

·         Player A chooses Priest.

·         Player B chooses Priest.

·         Player A bans Priest of Player B.

·         Player B bans Druid of Player A.

The order you mentioned the heroes is not the order you have to play them!

Possible result: Player A starts the first Game with his Warrior-Deck. Player B starts with his Warlock-Deck.

Competition structure

•  The poule phase matches are BO3

•  The bracket matches are BO5

•  The Grand Final and the Semi Final are BO7. ( So you pick 5 heroes and ban 1. )

•  Take a screenshot of every win/DC/loss and name it accordingly.

•  Make sure a timestamp is visible on the screenshots for validity.

•  If a round ends in a draw it must be replayed immediately without a break between games. ( Eg. Hellfire kills both heroes )

• The winner of a game changes deck, loser is not obliged to change

•  The winner of the match moves on to the next game.

•  1st match loss moves you to the lower brackets, 2nd match loss means elimination.

•  3rd place is determined by a match during the final match between the losers from the semi-final.

•  Telling the admin you that you forfeit = forfeiting the entire tournament!

•  Telling a player you forfeit = you give all wins to the player ( so 2-0 if BO3 and 3-0 if BO5)

Streaming

FOM will not stream the Hearthstone compo

 

Disconnects

Whenever a player disconnects remain at your seat until the game is over, there is always a chance that the player might reconnect.

If a player disconnects during a game and is unable to re-connect to finish the game, that disconnecting player forfeits one game. The only exception regardless of when the disconnect occurs is sabotage. If both players disconnect the game must be replayed immediately without a break between games.

Cheats:

Any actions, that results in an unfair advantage, are illegal.
This includes bug abuse of any kind.
This includes Decktracker.
