Support

Please
submit a support ticket for any assistance during the cup. Support is only
available on our Community Discord server.

15.1 Admins

All
participants must adhere to the decisions and rules of the tournament
organizers, admins, and referees. All decisions are final, except in cases
where
the option to appeal is clearly stated. Conversations, either verbal or
written, between organizers, admins or referees, and participants are
confidential. Publicly posting or sharing these conversations with outside
parties is strictly forbidden, unless permission is obtained.

Each
individual person that has been authorized by the Being X GmbH to conduct the
administration as a whole or in parts is a so called “Admin”. Players and teams
have strictly obey and follow any decisions made by an Admin.

15.2 Match Media

All match
media (screenshots, demos, etc) must be kept for at least 14 days. Faking or
manipulating match media is forbidden and will result in severe penalties.
Match media should be named clearly based on what it is. It is not possible to
file
a protest or write a support ticket to complain about bad match media naming.
However, if an admin is hindered in their work because of bad match media names
then it can be punished.

15.3 Game Coverage

BEING
ESPORTS will deploy an official Match stream broadcasted on twitch.tv/pubg_de.
Casters and observers are appointed, entitled and authorized by the BEING
ESPORTS administration. Only appointed, entitled and authorized persons are
allowed to be observers inside the game.

The BEING
ESPORTS administration DOES reserve exclusive rights to the coverage of
the PUBG D/A/CH Invitational 2021 matches. POV streams are NOT
allowed.

15.4 Chatting while alive

Chatting
while being alive on stream (with the respective delay) is not allowed to any

stream or the games has ended on stream. Violation will cause a timeout in chat

of the chat message as well as the channel the message was posted in on a
case-to-case basis by an BEING ESPORTS admin.
