ournament will be available for teams competing in Open-IM leagues. The tournament will be hosted on Friday, March 10th and Saturday, March 11th. There will be 16 teams competing, and a winner take all prize pool. Multiple moderators will be on standby during all games.

Rules:
Moderator Decisions are final
-If the problem occurs in any round, the players need to pause that round and wait until the problem is solved or until the tournament officials tell them to continue the game
-If multiple users are dropped or the server crashes, the team captains will try to settle upon a way to carry on with the match. If they are not able to do so, the tournament officials will decide for them and the teams must respect their decision.
-When a team suspects they are being victim of rule violations during a match, players are compelled to not stop the game by any means and to properly finish it. Once the match is over, the team captain may officially ask for an investigation to tournament officials. It is strongly advised to provide valuable information that may help the tournament director in his investigation. (ex : screenshot and demo) Unjustified and repetitive use of this may be sanctioned.
-Players are forbidden from installing, downloading or using any external software or hardware that interacts in-game (apart from basic peripherals i.e. keyboard, mouse & headset). It is also forbidden any form of modification that would alter the game or allow a player to execute, automatically, more than one in-game action (Macros).
-The following actions are strictly prohibited during a game and will result in round loss (the amount is determined by the tournament director) which will be deducted at the end of the match, and a warning:
-Any form of script is forbidden;
-Using bugs which change the game principle (i.e. spawn bugs) is illegal;
-Moving through walls, floors and roofs is strictly forbidden. This also includes skywalking;
-"Silent bombs" (ie. planting a bomb without making a sound) are illegal;
Planting bombs so that they cannot be defused is illegal. This does not include plants where multiple players are needed to defuse;
-Boosting with the help of teammates is allowed in general, but is forbidden in places where the textures, walls, ceilings and/or floors become transparent or penetrable.

*Refuses to follow tournament officials' instructions
