After a set the loser can switch characters. The winner must keep playing the same character!
In
case of a disconnect, the disconnecting player loses the current round.
If this does not end the current match, recreate the meter gauges
as identical to the round the disconnected happened as possible.

2. Tournament Rules
We use Challonge (https://challonge.com)
for the organization of Hessen Crash tournaments. Each player is
required to sign-up/check-in for each tournament by themselves.
There currently is no participant-cap set in place.
Your nickname on the Discord server and your nickname on Challonge should be identical.
Registering for a tournament with multiple accounts is forbidden and
leads to exclusion from the current Hessen Crash tournament if found out by Hessen Crash staff.
The check-in will open 1 hour before the tournament starts.
Check-ins are being handled on Challonge. Participants who fail to
check-in on their own during the check-in period are removed from the
current bracket.
Streaming or watching streams while playing your matches is
forbidden to ensure better connection quality. Streaming Hessen Crash matches on
your own will lead to disqualification from the current tournament.
The tournament will be conducted using the "Double Elimination" (DE) bracket system:
All players start in the Upper Bracket (UB).
After the first round of matches is played the losers of the
matches drop into the Lower Bracket (LB) and continue their tournament
run there.
If a player loses a match in the LB they are eliminated from the tournament.
Players in the UB who lose one of their matches past the first
round are also put into the LB and can continue the fight from there.
During the Grand Final of the tournament, the player from LB needs
to win a total of two sets against the player from UB. One to put the WB
player into the LB and force a bracket reset and another one to win the
tournament. The player from UB only needs to win one set.
Participants have five (5) minutes to contact their respective
opponent before each match during a running tournament. For this, the
#hessen-crash-online channel on the 2BCU Discord server should be used. Participants
are asked to contact Hessen Crash Staff (Tournament Staff-role on Discord) if
their opponent does not respond to contact attempts after five minutes.
The staff will then try to resolve the situation and hand out
default-wins in cases of no-shows.
After finishing playing a match one of the two players needs to
submit the match result in the #hessen-crash-online channel on the
Discord server for staff to update the bracket. We recommend the winner
of the match
to do this. Results should be submitted in the following format "Player 1
X:X Player 2" where "Player 1" & "Player 2" are to be replaced with
the actual player names and X with the appropriate scores.
After a match is complete and the score has been entered into the
bracket on Challonge by Hessen Crash Online staff both players can move on to play
their next respective matches in the brackets. Players do not have to
wait for their next match to be called by staff with the only two
exceptions being matches played on stream and all matches from the Top 6
of the tournament onward (see 7. under General Rules).
3. Match Rules
All matches up to the Top 4 of each tournament are to be played in a
First to Two (Ft2)/Best of Three (Bo3) format. This means that one
player needs to win two games to win the Match.
All matches from Top 4 onward are to be played using the First to
Three (Ft3)/Best of Five (Bo5) format. This means that one player needs
to win three games to win a match.
The player listed on the top position of the match in the official
Challonge bracket can choose what side they want to play the first game
on.
Allowed stages are all stages. You cannot select a stage, only random stage select again or rematch on the same stage after a set.
After each game, the loser can switch their character and color
palette. The winner of a game must keep their character, but is allowed

The loser of a game can request to change the stage and/or player side after the game has ended.
If a player is disconnected from the game within the first 15 seconds the game is to be restarted.
If a player is disconnected from the game after the first 15 seconds
of the first round of a game their opponent has the right to request
the game being counted as a win for them. In such situations, both
players should contact Hessen Crash Online staff.
Players should contact the Hessen Crash Online staff if a match
between two players
did not start after five tries because of connection issues. The staff
will try to determine the cause of the connection issues and
resolve the situation.
The winner will be decided by a coin toss if the connection issue cannot be resolved.
Rage quitting during a stream-match leads to disqualification from the tournament.
Abusing glitches and bugs on purpose will lead to an instant loss
and a ban from the current Hessen Crash Online tournament for the
abuser.
Match-fixing (i.e. making agreements on the outcome of a match
before it has started) is strictly forbidden and will result in
disqualification from the current tournament and a permanent ban from
all future Hessen Crash Online tournaments for both parties involved. No exceptions
will be made and the bans cannot be reverted at a future point in time.
