At the end there is an 8 player round robin tournament for the prize pot that is accumulated throughout the Summer. The Top 8 players who accumulated the most points by the end of the Summer RanBats will compete in the final round robin tournament.

-Coaching is allowed only between games, not during.
-Once your set is done PLAYERS MUST IMMEDIATELY REPORT the results to the TO staff.

MONEY MATCHES ARE NOT EXCUSABLE! IF YOU ARE MONEY MATCHING WHILE STILL IN BRACKET YOU WILL GET DQ'D!
Collusion of any kind with your competitors and/or sandbagging is considered forbidden. If the Tournament Director determines that any competitor is colluding to manipulate the results or intentionally underperforming, the collaborating players may be immediately disqualified. This determination is to be made at the sole discretion of the Tournament Director. Anyone disqualified in this manner forfeits all rights to any titles or prizes they might have otherwise earned for that tournament.
The TO reserves the right to deny payout from event winnings to any player suspected of intentionally throwing a match, splitting a payout, or committing any other form of bracket manipulation.
-Players may request that any texture, stage, or other hacks be disabled during a tournament set. If this is unable to be done, they may switch to a different setup if available.
-Players may NOT hold off their match in order to have it streamed/recorded unless first cleared with the TO staff.
