Details & Rules
-
Career Games: You need to have at least 200 career games on at least 1 server.
-
Played Games: You need to have at least 50 ranked 1v1 games played this season
to be eligible for the tournament. (New season grace period: you will also be eligible if you played at least 20 games last season and at least 30 games this season.) All 50 games need to be played with
the race you wish to participate as and on the same account. Players who wish to participate as Random need 50 games on each of the 3 races. Leaving
league resets your game count, any games played prior to that do not
count.
-
Players can switch races between series, as long as they have the required games for that race. They have to
announce the race they choose to the opponent before the match and have to commit to that race for the whole Best of X.
Choosing Random as a race is allowed.
-
League: Bronze - Diamond (The tournament is available only to players who currently are NOT and have NOT
finished Master or higher in the past three seasons. The highest rank
you are with any race is the rank you will be considered for the
tournament.)
-
Server: Americas (Detailed server guidelines below.)
-
In-game chat channel: Ducklings (We recommend joining the "Ducklings" group in game and going to chat through

- Players have 15 minutes to begin their match once it becomes available. When the bracket is finalized, it will
be announced in the in-game chat channel. If a player does not respond
within 15 minutes, their opponent will be awarded a walkover.
-
Only admins and approved casters can be added to the game as observers. No other observers allowed.
- If a player disconnects, the game will be continued using the "Resume
from replay" option in the game. If the disconnecting player does not
return after 15 minutes, they may forfeit the match. Players seen
watching replays while waiting for another player to return will forfeit
that match.
-
If you decide to forfeit a series, please contact an admin.
Forfeiting without a valid reason will result in a warning. 3 warnings
will result in a 6 month ban from competing in CranKy Ducklings events.
- In case of a walkover, the missing player may be replaced
by the previous series' loser, granted they are available and willing
to play. Round 1 no-shows may be replaced by a player who was not
checked in/registered for the tournament.
- Players found sharing either Battle.net or Challonge accounts will be
issued a warning and the accounts in question will be barred from
competing. Repeat offenders will be banned from all CranKy Ducklings
events.
- Please be respectful to other players and the admins.
- Any issues not mentioned here are to be solved by the admins. The rules for future events will be updated accordingly.
