Rules & Guidelines

1. Conduct

• Treat all players, staff, casters and viewers with respect. Harassment, hate speech, discrimination, threats and doxxing are not tolerated.
• No toxic behaviour in match chat, voice, Discord or on social media while representing UBN or an event.
• Do not impersonate staff, players or teams.

2. Eligibility & Registration

• Players must register with accurate in-game names and contact details.
• Each player may only play on one team per tournament unless the event rules say otherwise.
• Region, roster size and any other requirements are listed on each tournament's page and in its announcement. Event-specific rules override these general rules.
• Players must follow the age and eligibility requirements of the game and the event.

3. Matches

• Check-in: teams must check in during the announced check-in window. Teams that miss it may be disqualified or replaced.
• Punctuality: be ready at the scheduled match time. Late teams may forfeit a map or the match, at staff discretion.
• Maps and room details: these are announced by staff. Do not share room codes or passwords outside your team.
• Disconnects: report them to staff immediately. Pauses and restarts are decided by staff.
• Results: screenshots or recordings of final scores may be required. Keep evidence until the match is confirmed.

4. Fair Play

• Cheating of any kind is banned, including hacks, scripts, macros, ghosting, stream sniping, exploiting bugs and match fixing.
• Do not use alternate accounts, account sharing or stand-ins that haven't been approved by staff.
• Players must cooperate with staff investigations and provide requested evidence.
• Saw a violation? Use Report a Player with the player's in-game name, the match and your evidence.

5. Penalties & Staff Decisions

• Depending on severity, penalties may include a warning, map or match forfeit, disqualification, removal of prizes or placements, and bans from future UBN events.
• Teams are responsible for the conduct of their players, coaches and substitutes.
• UBN staff make the final decision on rulings and disputes. Appeals can be raised through Contact Staff and will be reviewed fairly.
• Rules may be updated at any time. Changes are announced on our Discord.
