Universal competitive code and arbitrated standards enforced across all Hardcore Esports sanctioned tournaments.
Every competitor must possess an active, verified Hardcore Player ID (HCE). Exact in-game identifiers (PUBG Mobile Character ID, Riot ID + Tagline, Steam 64 ID, Epic Games Display Name) must match the registered profile. Impersonation or using unlinked accounts during official matches incurs instant disqualification.
For mobile battle royale tournaments (PUBG Mobile), only certified handheld mobile phones (iOS / Android smartphones) are permitted. Emulators (Bluestacks, Gameloop, LDPlayer), tablets/iPads (unless specifically sanctioned in tablet-enabled cups), hardware triggers, macro scripts, or rooted devices are strictly banned. Violation results in a lifetime HWID and Hardcore ID ban.
Match credentials (Room ID and Password) are released securely in the tournament dashboard exactly 15 minutes before scheduled match launch. Squads must occupy their assigned slot numbers within 10 minutes. Matches launch at the scheduled time with no exceptions.
Scores and placements are tabulated by official match arbiters using live spectators and official match logs. Team captains have a 30-minute post-match window to raise a dispute by providing unedited full-screen end-game screenshots or recording evidence to the Operations Discord referee channel.
