Tournament Rules
SNKA PvP Championship is double elimination: players start in the Upper Bracket, a first loss drops you to the Lower Bracket, and a second loss eliminates you. SNKA Admins manage every match — from Round 1 onward, every score, winner, and bracket move is their call.
Tournament Format
SNKA PvP Championship is a 32-player double-elimination tournament. Players begin in the Upper Bracket. A player's first loss moves them to the Lower Bracket. A second loss eliminates them from the tournament. The last remaining competitors from the Upper and Lower Brackets meet in the Grand Final. Bracket placement and progression are managed manually by SNKA Tournament Admins.
Match Rules
Matches are played Best of 3 unless otherwise noted on the match card. Games take place on the official SNKA PvP arena world. Both players must confirm ready before a game begins. Rejoining after a disconnect is allowed once per game with admin approval.
Allowed Items
Standard PvP kits provided by the server are allowed. Enchantments and consumables follow the current season kit configuration posted in Discord.
Forbidden Items
Any item, block, or mechanic not included in the official kit configuration is forbidden unless an admin grants a written exception before the match begins.
Cheating Policy
Use of KillAura, Reach, Aim Assist, Velocity modification, prohibited AutoClicker use, macros, packet manipulation, or any unfair hacked client results in immediate disqualification. SNKA Admins may request a client-side check at any time.
Disconnect Rules
If a player disconnects mid-game, the match is paused. The affected player has 5 minutes to reconnect. If they fail to reconnect, the game is awarded to their opponent.
No-Show Policy
Players must be online within 15 minutes of their scheduled match time. Failure to appear results in a forfeit loss for that match.
Sportsmanship
Toxic behavior, harassment, or unsportsmanlike conduct toward opponents, admins, or spectators is not tolerated and may result in disqualification regardless of match outcome.
Admin Decisions
SNKA Tournament Admins have final say on all match disputes, scheduling conflicts, and rule interpretations. Decisions are made to preserve fairness and the integrity of the competition.
A Note On Admin Decisions
Round 1 opponents may be paired automatically in registration order; every score, winner, and round beyond that is entered by SNKA Tournament Admins. Admin rulings on disputes are final.
