Cheat Sheet for Tournament Questions
Here are the standard questions I get asked every single Valorant tournament.
What type of Tourney is this?
This Tourney is a 1v1 single-elimination, and you only play one game per round.
What happens if my opponent doesn't show?
We give everyone 10 minutes to show up when each round starts. After 10 minutes, reach out to the tourney host, and we can fix the issue.
How do I submit a score?
You must enter your number of wins + the number of wins your opponent has. Users can do this on the GosuNow bracket below your username. If you are not using the GosuNow App, you can have the user send it via messaging.
What happens if I cheat?
You will be banned from future tournaments. Cheating also holds up the match for everyone else, so don't do it.
What does bye mean?
Bye means you get a free round. So wait for the next round to start.

The Number Of Games:
Teams will play one full game against each other and track the number of wins. The team with the most wins after one full match will move on to the next round.
Screenshots/Recording:
Players must take screenshots after all players are dead, and the game shows which place you finished. This means you must stay in the game until your opponents die to get the screenshot with total wins.
Interference & Obstruction:
You are not allowed to intentionally interfere with your opponent's attempts to move around the map or secure kills. However, interference calls are made strictly at the discretion of our admins.
Disconnections:
If a player lagging out during the warm-up lobby, players must leave the game and start another game session.
If a player lagging out at the beginning of a game before landing, both players must leave the game and start another game session. Video evidence is required to be provided.
Screenshots:
Each team must take a Screenshot(s) of each game's results if proof is needed for a dispute. Screenshots should be visible and contain the Game Score, all Players on both Teams, and a timestamp.
