1.5 SQ1 employees
Any player cannot hold a role in the administration. The exception being content creators and graphic artists, as they have no executive power.
1.6 Team and Player Suspensions
Certain violations of our rules will result in either a temporary or permanent ban from playing in the tournament - or worst case, team disqualification. This is handed out by our administration and is a punishment administered with discretion for any violation warranting such a reaction. The severity of punishment is worked out on a case by case basis.
2.1 Matches will be played on the live patch
Teams will have to join a custom lobby, using the Tournament Code from Toornament and have to be in the following order: Top, Jungle, Mid, Bot, Support. You can get the code under the tab "My matches" on the toornament website.
If the team is not present 5 minutes prior to game time; the team will suffer a ban loss. Not being present and in LCS order at game time results in loss of first ban rotation (first 3 bans), not being present five minutes after game time results in complete loss of bans. 10 minutes post-game time results in a forfeit.
2.2 Pick-&-Ban Phase
2.2.1 P&B will be executed through the clients Tournament Draft feature. No 3rd party solutions are to be used prior to the draft in streamed games, in jnstreamed games, teams are allowed to use 3rd party solutions (e.g
Prodraft).

Allow Spectators: Lobby Only
Game Type: Tournament Draft
2.2.3 Draft restrictions may be added at any time before or during a match if there are known bugs with any champions.
2.2.4 Placeholder picks are not allowed. Furthermore, misclicks are not grounds for remaking the P&B, therefore games must proceed as normal, with the miss-clicked champion and/or rune page, and under no circumstances may you leave the game lobby (exception: you may leave if P&B client breaks). Gameday runs on a tight schedule, meaning teams are held accountable for any errors made in P&B.
2.2.5 Teams are allowed one (1) coach on comms during P&B. The coach must leave comms as soon as the P&B is over. A substitute is allowed to function as a coach/hold the role as a coach.
