Read IX5 Event Rules Before They Decide a Result
Rules are part of competitive preparation. They define entry, match procedure, scoring, technical pauses, conduct and the route for reviewing a decision.
General IX5 guides can explain common concepts, but the current event rules control that competition. Save the published version and read it with your roster before check-in.
Start with eligibility and roster rules
Confirm age, region, account, device and qualification requirements. For team events, check roster size, substitutes, captain authority and lock time.
A roster that appears in the lobby can still be ineligible if it was registered incorrectly.
- Player and team eligibility
- Roster submission and changes
- Check-in and late-arrival policy
- Multiple-account or multiple-team restrictions
Learn the match procedure
Read lobby creation, side or map selection, start confirmation and pause rules. The correct action during a disconnect depends on the procedure; leaving or restarting without instruction can affect the outcome.
Know which communications are permitted during pauses and between rounds.
Check device, software and conduct boundaries
Rules may restrict controllers, emulators, overlays, macros, modified clients and recording tools. Use only permitted software even when a tool is popular outside competition.
Conduct rules apply to player names, chat, harassment, collusion and match manipulation. Team staff should understand them too.
- Allowed hardware and input methods
- Anti-cheat and recording requirements
- Communication and coaching limits
- Penalties for manipulation or abuse
Know the review and appeal deadline
A result question should identify the match, rule and evidence. Many events set a short window after the match or result notice.
Use the official route and avoid public pressure campaigns while the review is open. Keep the final decision with your event records.
Before submitting, ask the captain to check that the report describes one decision and cites the exact clause. A disciplined appeal protects the team’s credibility even when the organiser ultimately keeps the original result.
