Do you like rocket league? Well have we got a competition for you...
E-sports Rulebook:
● Rocket League is a free to play game available on Windows, XBOX One, XBOX Series
S/X, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5.
● Competitors may use any of these platforms for the tournament.
● To enter the tournament, players must have access to online play.
● Players playing on XBOX may be required to have access to Microsoft’s online play
services (Xbox Live, etc). Any subscriptions or purchases will not be provided by MIST
and each competitor is expected to have the means to play before signing up.
Note: The Mac and Linux platforms are not permitted as they no longer support online
play.
Tournament Rules (thanks to MIST New Jersey!)
● Two teams will be allowed per school. Each team will consist of 3 players. If a school
cannot reach 3 players, the MIST Region will do its best to pair with other incomplete
teams.
● The tournament will be undertaken through a single elimination bracket format and
there will be no preliminaries.
● All tournament sets will be best-of-3 matches. Game details/settings can be found
below.
● All match-ups will be randomized (there is a chance a team may face a team with
players from their own school).
● All participants must arrive for an orientation before the tournament starts (time will be
specified by email). Failure to arrive on time may lead to disqualification from the
competition.
● Every player is responsible for his own connection and has to have a good internet
connection to avoid possible ‘lag’.
● Complaining about losing a game incorrectly after a match can not be taken into
account in the final outcome of a match. If there are reasons to suspect that your
opponent is not playing by the rules or serious lag occurs for a long time, report this to
the admin before your opponent has taken advantage of the problem. (The beginning of
the game.)
● In the event of an odd number of teams, the team which finalized their registration first
will receive a bye.
● When 2 players can't connect in a private match, the team will forfeit the match. If there
is a possibility, the players can try to connect again. The MIST Regional Team will
decide if there is time enough for the replay.
● When the connection is lost, the match will not be paused and the game will continue. If
the player can reconnect mid-game they should do so. If they cannot and there are
more games in the set, they will receive a 3-minute time to reconnect before the next
game in the BO3 starts. If the player still cannot reconnect their team will either have to
play with two players or forfeit the match.
● When a game ends in a tie, the players must play ´Extra time´. There has to be a winning
team.
● Per general MIST rules and behavior rules outlined, participants must use clean
language or face penalty. During the live stream, team’s voice calls may be streamed
and any foul language will lead to disciplinary action (a warning and/or disqualification).
● All standard controllers, including mouse and keyboard, are legal. Macro functions (e.g.,
turbo buttons) are not permitted.
Logistics:
● All competitors must connect via Discord so there is an open line of communication
that tournament organizers can observe. Each team will have a private call for
communication during the game.
● There will be 2 voice channels to host competitors (1 for each team) and 1 voice for
moderators.
● Moderator starts the matches and sets the rules. They will also assign each team to be
either on the blue or orange side by renaming the sides to the school’s name.
