COVID Policies
Full vaccine is required for tournament entry. Full vaccination is defined as:
Receiving two doses of Moderna or Pfizer OR One dose of Johnson & Johnson
Vaccine cards are checked for first time attendees. Anyone who has attended previous events and have already have their vaccine card checked do not need to present proof again.
Proof of vaccination can either be the physical copy of vaccine records, a digital record (such as myColorado app's), or a picture with another form of state or federal ID that has a matching name. Pictures of vaccine card are also fine but above two listed are preferred.
If you have a valid medical reason to not receive a vaccination, such as an allergy, we do accept exemptions. Please inform the TO's either through contacting us in the Discord server linked on this page and find the users under the TO role, or send an email to the attached email at the top of the page.
Jefferson County has lifted mask mandates however we still strongly encourage those who enter to wear a mask.
Disqualification Rules
Punctuality is important for running tournaments. Arrive and be present in the play area at least 15 minutes before your bracket is scheduled to start. Check in with the Tournament Organizers (TO) and pay entry fees.
When your match is called, you have 5 minutes to report to the station the TO tells you to play at. If you are not at the station to play within that time, and you did not communicate with either your opponent or the TO about using the restroom, getting a drink, or any other reason to not be present within those five minutes you will be disqualified (DQ'd). When you are DQ'd, you are removed from the winners bracket and placed into the losers bracket. If you are in the losers bracket and are DQ'd then, you are out of the tournament.
DQ's are rare at weekly events. The best thing you can do to avoid being DQ'd is to inform TOs if you have something important to do where you need to step out.
You will not be DQ'd if you are playing in multiple brackets at the same time. The TO's will communicate with each other on where you are and keep you within any brackets you are competing in as long as you are there.
Stream
Games will be streamed with commentary on our twitch channel! The main games are listed on the schedule, so tune in at the aforementioned times to watch!
We will also run a secondary stream for monthly events to ensure more games get air time!
If you would like to commentate or help run stream, simply let a TO know on site and we can have you assist.
