Integrity operations

Fair play is a process, not a promise.

Every material ruling follows a documented path from report to evidence, decision, notice, and appeal.

Shared conduct

Competitive expectations

Compete honestly, protect room credentials, respect participants, disclose conflicts, and follow authorized referee instructions.

Preserve before deciding

Evidence standard

Room logs, screenshots, timestamps, submissions, and relevant messages are preserved with access limited to authorized reviewers.

Rule-linked outcomes

Proportionate enforcement

Warnings address correctable process failures. Point penalties, match removal, and disqualification require stronger evidence and explicit rule authority.

Focused reports

Report and appeal

Identify the event, match, approximate time, rule or conduct concern, and focused evidence. Appeals must be filed within the published deadline.
