FAQ

Q: What happens if a coach drops out during a QST?
A: For the first 2 games of a QST, coaches will have 15 minutes to return to the game. If they do not return in time, their opponent will automatically win the match. Other consequences may follow as per usual FUMBBL rules. After the Quick Start portion (initial 2 games), normal tournament rules regarding disconnections will apply.

Q: What happens if a coach has repeated connectivity issues?
A: The match may be forfeited at the tournament facilitator's discretion in order to keep the QST on schedule.

Q: Why haven't I been accepted yet? Why can't I see the other coaches who have applied before I decide to apply?
A: No applications are accepted for a QST until there are sufficient numbers of applications for the tournament to be started. This is to stop coaches "cherrypicking". You have to accept who you play, no exceptions - even if it is coach FoulThemTillTheyDie!

Q: Oh no, I got FoulThemTillTheyDie as an opponent! Can I get you to forfeit my game so I can apply to the next qualifier instead?
A: You can choose to forfeit your game, but if you do that you will not be allowed to enter any more QSTs.

Q: What about star players, match K-values, team eligibility? A: All of these rules will be indicated in the main Official FUMBBL Tournament Rules or in the appropriate tournament group.
