The rules

Rules of the road.

Same rules as every RL tournament. Break one and your trip ends here.

1

Show up. Every night.

A no-show means you're out of the tournament. All 7 qualifier nights count, even after 3 wins.

2

10-minute grace period

Your opponent gets 10 minutes. After that, report the no-show and the ref gives you the win.

3

1v1 only

No extra creators, no supporters, no boxes. Breaking this is a loss and can get you removed.

4

Best 3 of 5

Every battle is best 3 of 5, in qualifiers and playoffs.

5

Refs track every result

Refs wear a badge and log wins and losses. No ref in your chat? BB, our battle bot, is monitoring it. Ref calls are final.

6

Matchups post by 4PM EST

Your opponent and battle time go up every day by 4PM EST. All times are EST.

7

Need a time change?

Use the Tournament Support Form. It's also on the Recapture Livestream Instagram.

8

Play clean

Harassment or bad sportsmanship means removal, right away. Follow TikTok's guidelines.
