Before competing at GAMERS FEST, please familiarize yourself with all of our CHECK-IN Rules below

  •  Check-in for Gamers Fest begins at 10 am and closes at 10:50 am,. 10 minutes before the start time for the pool. Players are responsible for checking in to their pools on time. Players who have not checked in with the Tournament Moderator by the time the pool starts risk being disqualified from the tournament.
  • Please ensure you check-in with your Tournament Moderator & they  will verbally confirm to the player that they have checked-in. If you are competing in multiple tournaments simultaneously, please notify the Tournament Moderator to avoid being disqualified.
  • Players will be scheduled for pools in such a way as to avoid being in multiple tournament pools at the same time. However, there are cases especially in later phases of the tournament where a player may be competing in multiple tournaments simultaneously. Players must notify their Tournament Moderator of any official tournament-related conflicts they may encounter.
  • Players in the tournament who have not yet been eliminated must remain by their pool station while the pool is running. If a player needs to leave the vicinity for any reason, such as needing to use the bathroom, they must ask the Tournament Moderator for permission prior to leaving. Players who leave the area without informing the Tournament Moderator first may be disqualified from the tournament. Players who are away from the pool area for an extended period of time may also be disqualified if the reason for their absence isn’t related to another JEI event official.
  • Players are free to leave the pool station area once they have been eliminated. Players who have advanced to the next phase of the tournament may also leave the station area after reporting their last Set result to the Tournament Moderator & receiving confirmation on when they need to return for the next phase of the tournament.
