1. What is a Hybrid Tournament?

A hybrid tournament combines the best of both worlds: the convenience of online players gaming with the excitement and social interaction of players experiencing in-person events. Participants can compete from the comfort of their homes or join us at our physical venue. This format ensures maximum flexibility and inclusivity for all players.

Our Hybrid Tournaments offer a way for everyone to participate regardless of their financial situation. With inflation rising times are hard but we do not want to make it hard to enter a tournament too. We have created a way that allows those who join our events to either play with everyone for free or to pay and have their efforts and skills granted with prizes. Players all play together no matter their entry status, Teams and players who have entered are hidden until the end of the tournament to ensure everyone is playing their best at all stages of the game. During the tournament's conclusion, the final standings will show the full picture but the prizing standings will show the winners between the teams that paid into prizing.

2. Registration Process

Registering for our hybrid tournaments is straightforward. Here’s how it works:

• Online Registration: Players sign up through our website or Discord channel.

• In-Person Registration: For those who prefer to join us at our venue, registration is also available on-site.

• Confirmation: Players are encouraged to contact an organizer online or in person to confirm their status in each event for both free play and paid play.

3. Tournament Structure

Our hybrid tournaments are designed to accommodate both online and in-person participants seamlessly. The structure typically includes:

• Final Rounds: Held at our venue or online, where the top players compete for the grand prize and a day of fun.

• Live Streaming: All matches are live-streamed to ensure everyone can follow the action, regardless of location.

• Payment Timing: Players/Teams are only allowed to enter into prizing before the end of round 1. This ensures that all players are fully confident in their skills to win and not relying on waiting until the last round to enter or not depending on their current standings.

4. Online Component

The online component of our tournaments ensures that everyone can participate, no matter where they are. Key features include:

• Match Scheduling: Matches are scheduled at convenient times to accommodate different time zones.

• Communication: Players communicate and receive updates through our Discord server.

• Technical Support: Our team provides technical support to resolve any issues promptly.

5. In-Person Component

For those who enjoy the atmosphere of live events, our in-person component offers:

• Venue: A well-equipped venue with all necessary gaming setups.

• Social Interaction: Opportunities to meet and interact with other players and spectators.

• Additional Activities: Side events and activities to keep everyone entertained throughout the tournament.

6. Match Scheduling

To ensure smooth operation, our matches are carefully scheduled:

• Pre-Tournament: The schedule and brackets are released before the event.

• During the Tournament: Real-time updates are provided through our website and Discord.

7. Rules and Regulations

To maintain fairness and integrity, our tournaments follow a strict set of rules:

• Code of Conduct: All participants are expected to adhere to our code of conduct.

• Gameplay Rules: Detailed gameplay rules are provided for each game.

• Dispute Resolution: A clear process for resolving disputes and issues.

• Team Swapping: Teams can substitute different players to fill team needs. Players from other teams can join other teams inside the tournament to solely fill spots in case of a team member conflict. Players who do jump to other teams that have paid into prizing placement will retain their previous team's payment status and overall prizing standings. This is to ensure and maintain a clear prizing payout to all players participating in the event.

8. Prizing and Rewards

We believe in rewarding our players generously based on their skills and efforts during the event:

Prizing Placements: In tournaments yielding two different outcomes, there may be winning teams that haven't paid and runner-ups that have. In hybrid tournaments, teams that have paid are guaranteed the highest prize payouts for their rank relative to other paying teams. For instance, if a paying team finishes second to a non-paying team, the paying team will receive the first-place prize as the highest-ranked among contributors. Subsequently, the rest of the paying teams will be arranged in order of performance, each receiving the maximum prize available.

• Cash Prizes: Significant cash prizes for the top winners.

• Merchandise: Exclusive merchandise for participants and winners.

• Other Rewards: Additional rewards such as game credits, trophies, and more.

9. Community and Support

Building a strong community that strives to be better and help others be better is at the heart of what we do:

• Discord Community: A vibrant community where players can connect, share tips, and form teams.

• AIOGG Team: A dedicated team is available to assist with any queries or issues.

Conclusion
