1. General rules

• Due to lack of time we have a tight schedule. Therefore we can make the decision to force players to only participate in 1 grand compo! We will contact the players who are signed in for 2 grand compo’s at the moment and they will need to make a decision. When a player refuses, we will remove them from the competition to make room for other teams.
• Frag-o-matic Hearthstone 1vs1 tournament is a local area network (LAN) tournament. By competing in this tournament the players accept these rules in full.
• Players who violate these rules will be sanctioned, and may be removed from the tournament without compensation. Such removal may also void any potential winnings for players.
• Sanctions and disputes will be resolved by the main tournament admin . The admin’s decision on any sanction or dispute is final.
• Abusive behavior towards the Frag-o-matic staff, tournament admins or opponents at any time during the tournament is unacceptable and will be punished with disqualification.
• Clarification of any point in the rules is available from the tournament admins at any time during the tournament.
• We will force the use of our Discord-channel to keep easier contact with the players. https://discord.gg/wSqXnUC 
• When tagged in Discord by an admin to play a game and no response is given by that person themselves within 15 minutes, the match will be forfeited. If you are not in the discord or are using a different name than your FoM/Battlenet, we can not be held responsible for forfeited matches. Players can edit their own nickname in the Discord to fit their FoM/Battlenet tag.
• You are allowed to sign up for the competition before sending in your decklist.
• Decktrackers are allowed, admins are of the opinion that it doesn't matter if a player uses a program to track or tracks on paper. There will be no DQ's for the use of decktrackers.
• Deck-submissions need to happen before 21/02/2020 10.30PM via the link here. The full decklist need to be in 1 image/thread. Not doing so will result in a disqualification from the competion.

2. Competition rules

• Title: Hearthstone 1v1
• Max players: 64
• Format: Last Hero Standing – BO5
• Game type: Poules (BO5) + top 32 single elimination (BO5)
• Starting time: Friday 06 September 2019  11pm

• Add your battletag to your notes while signing up, this is required!
• Players must have exactly 4 decks, but only one of each class. Having two decks of one hero is unacceptable and punishable by disqualification. To prevent cheating we are working with an open decklist.
• “Whizbang the Wonderful” & “Zayle, Shadow Cloak” are banned and may not be contained in any deck! (even blizzard agrees in this one)
• If you want to take into account your teammates (so they do not sit in the same group) you put on the website of frag-o-matic the teamtag for the name.
• Only the current ‘standard set’ is allowed to use,  (even in the event that new cards are introduced before or during the tournament).
• The tournament will be played in the Last Hero Standing format. The games in poules will be a BO5, this will be the same case for the top 32 single elimination bracket (top 16 Double elim. below 32 participants).
• Last Hero Standing means the loser of a round has to switch heroes while the winner of the match proceeds playing with the same hero. This until the BO5 between these players is finished.
• Poules will go per 8 players (4 if participants do not go over 32) with top 4 (2 below 32 part.) qualifying to the Single (Double below 32 part.) Elimination bracket. If there is a group where all the players have the same amount of point we will look first at the win/loss ratio of those players. When that is the same amount, we will look to the mutual duels, if that doesnt give us the winner of the group, we will drop everyone in a randomizer and let fate decided.
• The bracket will be made in a fixed setting looking at the positions of the top 4 (2) per poule. Regarding potential teamkills: there will be no exceptions with the fixed setting. The look of this fixed setting can be requested with compo-admin TrainingWolf via Discord. TrainingWolf#2122
• Matches have to be played as the schedule shows. You are not allowed to play the games in a different order. This for scheduling purposes.

• Players MUST submit their decks in one image/thread via this link: here
• Not submitting your decklists in time (10.30PM) will result in removal from this compo-registration.
• The deck lists after signing up will be made public (link will be shared once the poules are made)
• Starting too late can be considered as a forfeit. - Always contact the admin first if there would be time-issues to discuss this with them!
• 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.) If a round ends in a draw due to the maximum turn limit, the player with the most hp + armor wins.
• The loser of a game changes deck, the winner cannot change. The winner gets 1 win in the BO5
• If there is a group where all the players have the same amount of points, we will look win/loss ratio of those players. When that is equal, we will look to the mutual duels, if that doesnt give us the winner of the group, we will drop the equalized players in a randomizer and let fate decided.
• Fill in all scores as they happened. If no full score is given by either players, the assigned winner will be awarded a 3-0. These scores might count at the end of the poule-phase.
• The winner of the matches moves on to the next game once the brackets are put available.

3. Picks and Bans

Agree in the Blizzard client on the picks and bans. Take screenshots of the conversation as proof. Each player has 4 heroes and can ban one hero of their opponent before the start of the match.

“Whizbang the Wonderful” & “Zayle, Shadow Cloak” are banned and may not be contained in any deck! (even blizzard agrees in this one)

4. Disconnects

!! Take a Screenshot of every Bug & Disconnects !!

• Bring your own device, if your device causes a crash or a freezes, the game will not be replayed.
• Bugs: Client Bugs count as a disconnect for the player who has the bug! (Only when a Screenshot is provided)
• Whenever a player disconnects remain at your seat until the game is over, there is always a chance that the player might reconnect. You can contact an admin via the Discord-server of FoM (link below)
• If the disconnect is caused by a known technical issue at the venue, a rematch of that game is in order.
