LoL Tournament Rules

Players will be randomly placed into 5 man teams based on active account rank. Teams will be generated to be relatively even (with no account for role preference)

After each game, teams will then be randomly reshuffled, with each team having the same (or as close to the same as possible) number of player wins per team.

As an example: After game 1, five players will have 1 win, and 5 players will have 0. For game two teams will be rearranged to give team A three of the players with 1 win and two of the players with 0. This will give one team a total of 3 player wins, and team B a total of 2 player wins.

This re-matching will continue for five rounds, where the player(s) with the highest winrate will be awarded the prizing.

All games will be played in custom lobbies, in tournament draft mode.

THE ENCORE (Temporarily) ONLINE LEAGUE OF LEGENDS TOURNAMENT

A League Online 5v5 Series

Encore Esports is the areas premiere gaming venue. Created by players for players!

Times:

• Registration Ends: 5:00 pm EST
• LoL Bracket Start Time: 5:30pm EST

Fees:

• Venue Fee: $15

LoL Tournament Rules

Players will be randomly placed into 5 man teams based on active account rank. Teams will be generated to be relatively even (with no account for role preference)

After each game, teams will then be randomly reshuffled, with each team having the same (or as close to the same as possible) number of player wins per team.

As an example: After game 1, five players will have 1 win, and 5 players will have 0. For game two teams will be rearranged to give team A three of the players with 1 win and two of the players with 0. This will give one team a total of 3 player wins, and team B a total of 2 player wins.

This re-matching will continue for five rounds, where the player(s) with the highest winrate will be awarded the prizing.

All games will be played in custom lobbies, in tournament draft mode.

LoL Payout Breakdown

After 5 games, the 2 (or 3 if there is a three way tie) players with the best records will split the prize pool (half of entry cost per player) evenly.

Any questions or concerns should be brought directly to the attention of tournament staff.
