PLAYOFFS
COACHES
No hardware shall be used that allows for automation, macros, or any automatic function.
All drafting will take place using the game’s built-in draft mode. Usage of 3rd party drafting methods may result in punishment for the players/teams involved. Players’ accounts must meet the minimum requirement for the tournament draft mode, which requires players to own 20 champions including the free champion rotation.
Substitutions
Player substitutions are only permitted during the grace period between games, which ends after the draft has begun.
Side Selection
The lower seed will have choice of side (Blue/Team 1 or Red/Team 2) for the first game. The loser of the game will have choice of side for the next game.
Process
The draft will proceed as follows:
Team 1=A Team 2=B
1st Bans: ABABAB
1st Picks: ABBAAB
2nd Bans: BABA
2nd Picks: BAAB
Outside Communication
In accordance with rule 2.12.2., teams may have communication with a coach only during the drafting portion of the match.
Any champions, items, champion/ward skins, runes, summoner spells, or emotes are prohibited from use in official matches if they are disabled in any ranked Summoner’s Rift queues while they are disabled in those queues.
Stoppage of Play
The game may only be paused for the following reasons:
Pauses may not be called during player versus player combat. A team must give a reason to their opponent immediately before or after the match is paused. Each team will have 5 total minutes of pause time per map. Consent from both teams must be given before the match is unpaused.
A game may only be restarted within the first 5 minutes of the game and before first blood for one of the above reasons. If a game is restarted, players must take the exact same champions, skins, runes, and summoner spells. A game may only be restarted once per team per match.
Both teams participating in a match must provide 5 players at the beginning of the first game, and 4 for each consecutive game. During a game, if a team should lose 2 players that have disconnected with the intention of no longer playing in the match at the same time, that team will forfeit the remainder of the game to the opposing team. If a team is not able to field the required amount of players for additional games in the series, then they will forfeit the remainder of the match.
