SendouQ Rules

Disconnections

Each team is allowed one replay per set due to a team member disconnecting. Replay is only possible if ALL of the following are true:
  1. More than half was left in the clock (the clock was 2:30 or higher at the time of the DC)
  2. The team without DC's objective counter had not reached 30 at the time of the disconnect
  3. Team with the disconnection stopped playing without delay
  4. Disconnection was unintentional
For the replay same weapons and gear must be used by both teams. The team who fails to do so loses the map. If players disconnect from both teams a replay can be played without using either team's one replay for the set (or even if there were no replays left to use from either team).

The host disconnecting can be replayed with the same conditions as above (in this case the "team with DC" is the host's team). Host disconnecting can never mean that the hosting team wins the map off that. Only outcomes are that the map is replayed or the team that didn't host wins the map.

After the DC replay has been used by the team, further DC's should be played out.

Unallowed weapons

If someone picks an unallowed weapon game can be canceled within 1 minute by any player. For the replay everyone has to use the same weapons and gear except the player with unallowed weapon who should switch to the allowed variant of the weapon. For example had a player picked Foil Squeezer they need to play regular Squeezer in the replay.

Subs

There are no subs. If a player is unavailable to play from either team then the set must be played with 3 players or forfeited.

Canceling match

Match can be canceled if both group owners agree. If the groups don't agree then the match should be played out.

Dodging

Canceling matches is to be used for special cases only. If used excessively for e.g. avoiding to play stronger opponents it can lead to a ban or potential Plus Server admissions being skipped for the season.

Room hosting

By default the player who says the fastest in the match chat that they will host should do it. If a host can't be decided then Alpha chooses a player to host from their group.

Alting

You can only play with one account.

Player eligibility

Players banned by Splatoon Competitive Community Safety are not allowed to participate. Playing with banned players is not allowed.

Time limits

After a team has all their members in the lobby and has shared the password with the other team then that team has 15 minutes to join the lobby. Failing to do so, the match can be started with the members currently in the room. If a player has problems connecting to the room it is advised to try switching the host.

Spectators

There can be spectators if both teams agree to it.

Intentional losing

Players are not allowed to intentionally lose a match. This includes (but is not limited to) tanking your own rank on purpose or boosting another player's/team's ranking.

Unsportsmanlike conduct

It's not allowed to spawncamp the enemy without pushing the objective provided it can't be considered a viable strategy taking in account the game situation.

Discriminatory language

Any kind of discriminatory language such as using slurs is strictly not allowed. This rule applies everywhere in SendouQ including (but not limited to) text chats, voice chats & in-game names.

Repercussions

Players found breaking the rules can lose access to SendouQ and other sendou.ink features such as tournaments and the Plus Server.
