Hey nice job copy pasting and forgetting to change the team max players :)))))

10-18 players?

A team must have between 10 and 18 players during the whole event.

In the tourney info thread says 10-20

For the discord do you need to be in the voice channel or what?

You do need to be in the voice channel, you're team will need you there. You can't just type messages the entire tourney and you have to make call outs as well.

Apologizes for that, teams can register up to 20 players as now said in the ruleset.

" Every person actively playing must be in their assigned discord channel "

This means that you have to use your discord channel when you are playing. You have to activly use discord for your team communication and using other forms, such as skype or teamspeak, are not allowed.

So yes, you have to be in your discord channel

Can i use Discord on my Tablet?

Yes, you can.

Somebody mentioned that an account must have a minimum amount of kills to register for a tourney - is this true? If so, what is said amount?

I don't think SteelWool ever ran into this issue last tourney and we were a team of new accounts.
