Championship Details

- The organizers will create a room and invite participants on the day of the championship.

ㆍ To receive the invite from the organizers, you must go to [Settings] > [Game] > [Ramoness Invite] and “Allow All.”

ㆍ If your character is in a zone where you cannot enter Arena content (Guild Fortress, Great Ocean, etc.), you cannot enter the Karkea waiting room.

ㆍ If all participants do not log in or accept invites within 5 minutes after the scheduled start time of the tournament, the Karkea Arena Championship participants may be disqualified. The participants are held accountable for the championship results.

- All participants should get their characters completely ready prior to the start of the match to avoid delays in the championship tournaments.

- Participants must log in within 5 minutes after being logged out due to issues such as an unstable network connection for the championship to continue smoothly. Failure to do so may result in disqualification.

Selecting and Changing Classes (Main Tournament) 

- Karkea Arena Championship participants can only participate with the classes (up to three) submitted in advance through the application form and must proceed with the first round with the class they entered the waiting room with.

ㆍ However, classes that the participant does not have in their account will be excluded.
ㆍ Participants who have submitted only 1 class may not be able to play during the quarterfinals.
(Since Ban Pick will be implemented after the quarterfinals, you may not be able to participate at all if the other player decides to Ban Pick your class) (Updated 3/2 19:00 UTC-8)

ㆍ After the application period for participation ends, you may not change the selected classes.

- Participants can freely choose the character to enter each round from the list of classes submitted in advance.

ㆍE.g. If a participant submitted their application form with Lancer, Yacha, and Invoker, they may participate in the match with Yacha for the first round, Lancer for the second round, and Yacha again for the third round.

- If a participant wants to change classes after the first round, they must first inform the organizers through the [Party] chat.

ㆍ The participant is responsible for any disadvantages that result from mentioning the name of the class to be changed in advance in the [Party] chat.

- Changing classes must be done within 3 minutes, and if this time is exceeded, the championship organizers may penalize the participant.

Selecting and Changing Classes (Quarterfinals and After)

- Karkea Arena Championship participants can only participate with the classes (up to three) submitted in advance through the application form, and a Ban Pick system will be implemented starting from the quarterfinals.

ㆍParticipants can freely choose the character to enter each round from the list of classes submitted in advance.

ㆍHowever, participants can use the Ban Pick system to choose one of their opponent’s classes to be banned for the round.

ㆍBefore the start of the first round, please inform the organizers which of the opponent’s classes you want to ban through Discord chat.

ㆍYou can change Ban Picks every round, and you can also Ban Pick the same class multiple times.
