1. General information

These rules are an extension of the basic ruleset of the Lenovo Legion cup and were created to provide further specifications for the 2017 series in the competition in Overwatch.
The War Room reserves all rights to this ruleset and as such they can’t be used for other competitions without written consent of the organization

Depending on the circumstances the organisers can overrule or disregard these rules in spirit of fair play and sportsmanship.

9. Lobby

Lobbies will be set up by admins or if they are not available for a given match, by the teams. In case a team sets up the lobby, the detailed settings in point 8. should be followed.
The team creating the lobby should provide the lobby information to their opponents (lobby name and password) through the match page of Toornament.

Both teams are responsible for checking if the lobby is set up correctly.
If an admin is not present before the match starts, the teams are responsible for checking the rosters of their opponents before the match starts.
Roster related issues and their punishments will not change the outcome of a match if it has been already played. The map selection process has to be based on the rules even if the players create the lobby. For this the participants should use OWDraft at www.owdraft.com.

Teams can only switch players in between matches and can only use players from the roster they signed up for the competition.
After the match the teams should report the endgame score on the match page on Toornament.

In case there are players present from a given team but not a dull roster, they get an additional 5 minutes to complete their roster before losing the game.
In both cases the team waiting for their opponent has to prepare screenshots that include their full participating roster and the current time.
