SendouQ Rules


Banning policy


Disconnections / Replays

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 no replay will be used from either team's one replay for the set.

If the host disconnects otherwise known as a "lobby crash" (where all players disconnect from the match) then the team not hosting can either, replay (if the rules above apply) or must make the team that was hosting the room take the loss for that game.

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. If they do not have the other kit of the weapon they will take the loss.

Subs

There are no subs. All 8 players in the match MUST be the players listed in the set. 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. If the enemy team refuses to play after you not cancelling, raise an issue in the helpdesk in our Discord sever.

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 then the other team has 10 minutes to join the lobby. Failing to do so, the match can be started with the members currently in the room. If no one is in the room then please raise an issue in the helpdesk in our Discord server.

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.

Cheating / Mods

Using any sort of modded hardware and or software is not allowed.

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.
