Scheduling:

· All match communications should be done via forums or in-game client for our records.

· If you are unable to contact you opponents, your default match will be 8pm PDT.

· If your opponent does not show within 15 minute of the default match time, take a screenshot of the chat channel solomid.net showing that you are there and your opponent isn’t (time-stamped). If the match were to be disputed, you'll be requested a screenshot.


How Matches will be Played

· Total of 4 bans per player.

· Bans will take place in a 1-2-2-2-1 order.

. After Bans, you will proceed to a blind pick. The Bans will stay the same for the 2nd game, but you will do another blind pick.

· All games will be first to First Blood, which means dying to a tower or jungle creeps does not count. Having first blood awarded to the player will count as a kill and a win.

o Note: Keep in mind that killing a Karthus or Kog'Maw and then dying to their passive still means that you've gotten firstblooded. Similarly, if you are Yorrick and you have been killed then come back to kill your enemy with your ultimate, you have also been first-blooded (you lost). Pay attention and make sure to take screenshots.

· If First Blood does not occur, either summoner may win the game by destroying the enemy's second tower of the mid lane.

- The matches shall be 1v1, in middle lane, jungle and both bases.

- Matches are best of 3 and will be referred to as a "MATCH"

· All of the matches are played over a 1 day window and will be referred to as a "ROUND"

- Quarter-Finals, Semi-Finals, and Grand-Final rounds will be best of 3.

- Each summoner have 4 champion bans every match.

· Champion bans will take place in the pre-game lobby with the top (or left hand) summoner of the bracket starting first and banning in a 1-2-2-2-1 order.

· Banned champions stay banned for each match (i.e. Champions banned at the start of game one stay banned throughout all games.

· Bans can ONLY change between rounds (new opponents).

· Beginning at Quarter-Final round, each game will have new bans and picks (final 8)

· From the Quarter-Finals on, each summoner will only have 30 seconds between each ban and pick. If either summoner fails to ban in time, they lose the ban.




Additional Match Rules:

· All matches are to be played with even teams, means if you have spectators: they are not permitted to have a global passive of any sort. If this happens, restart the match with the same picks/bans.

· If teams are uneven for any reason the match MUST be restarted before either summoner attacks a minion.

· Going into top and bottom lane is not allowed. Screenshot to provide as evidence to support your case.

· Manipulation of creeps in midlane is permitted such as Sona, Aegis of the Legion etc. However, manipulation of creeps in other lanes is not allowed, neither is farming them.
