​

FAQ:

• When can we play the matches?

  • The matches must be played during the week as it is scheduled.

  • It is suggested to play during the lunch hours, however you can also play outside of the work hours if it works for everyone.

 

• How can we contact the other captains?

  • An email will be sent with other team captain’s email.

  • Otherwise, we invite you to check on the Toornament website and search for your opponent main contact’s email.

 

• How long does a match last?

  • We have made a mistake in our first email, here’s some clarification.

    • The first team to get to 5 rounds won, wins the match.

    • If there’s a TIE (4-4), 3 OT rounds must be played to determine the winner

      • So it’s a total of 11 possible rounds per game, not 9! (sorry)

 

• What the hell is a veto map ban?

  • A veto map ban is a system that we will use to ban maps out of the map list in the Playoff phase.

  • In this system, we have one higher seeded team and one lower seeded team. (see your team’s ranking).

    • In a BO3, the procedure is :

      • Upper seeded team BAN 1 map

      • Lower seeded team BAN 1 map

      • Upper seeded team BAN 1 map

      • Lower seeded team BAN 1 map

      • Upper seeded team BAN 1 map

      • Lower seeded team BAN 1 map

      • Upper seeded team PICK map #1

      • Lower seeded team PICK map #2

      • The remaining map, is the TIE breaker.

  • No software is needed, feel free to just type the map bans/picks in the chat.

​​

• When do we contact the other captains?

  • ASAP. As soon as you receive the mail confirming the matches of the week, you should try and contact the team captain to get a date to complete your match. The earlier the better as you have until the next Monday 1pm to complete the match.

​​

• How long should we wait for the other team to connect before asking for a forfeit?

  • If there is no contact between both team captains or a team is not all present at the pre-approved time, we ask that a reasonable amount of time be awarded, approximately 15 minutes before requesting a forfeit.

 

• Who hosts the game?

  • The team captains decide between each other the host of the match.

 

• I think someone is cheating, what do I do?

  • Send all grievances to UGL-S4-RainbowSix-Admins@ubisoft.com. If you are able to obtain evidence of cheating, you can send it as well. Please remember this is a “for fun” tournament.
