Official Tournament Rules

This document contains the Official Rules for the “Dead by Daylight Community Cup” competition series hosted on/by

Battlefy, in partnership with Behaviour Interactive.

Battlefy, as the Tournament Operator and Platform Provider reserves the right to change, update or otherwise adjust

rules, in any form, to protect the integrity and spirit of the program. Any changes to the Official Rules will be clearly

communicated through the official program Discord.

Tournament Format

● All 4 Survivors must ready up before the Killer.

● The ‘Winning Team’ for a given match will be decided by the primary win condition, and where

necessary, tie broken by the three available tiebreakers, used in sequential order.

● Win Condition: # of ‘Hook Stages’ achieved. A hook stage is defined as the effect of a Survivor

being hooked or being left on the hook long enough to reach the next stage. They are the circles

that you see in your HUD as Killer, and the notches that you see as Survivor. Each Survivor can

give up to 3 stages for a total of 12 stages if all Survivors are sacrificed. Hook Stages are visible for

the ‘Killer’ in this example screenshot (see below), and for ‘Survivors’ in this example screenshot

(see below). In both examples, 3 ‘Hook Stages’ have been secured so far.

● Tiebreaker 1: Killer with most generators left unrepaired.

Add-ons & Perk Restrictions

● Killer Add-ons: Only Common and Uncommon add-ons are Allowed. Rare add-ons are Allowed for all

rounds of play up-to & until the Quarter Finals. Rare add-ons are NOT usable in the Quarter Finals,

Semi-Finals and Grand Finals.

● Survivor Items/Item Add-ons: No event Items can be used. Keys and Maps are not to be used. Survivor

team is not allowed to bring any item type more than once or equip any perk more than once. Only Common

and Uncommon items and add-ons allowed for Survivors in all rounds.

● Offerings: Not Allowed

● Perk / Item Restrictions: All Survivors must have Unique Perks & Items. Survivors may not have Duplicate

● Ensuring that every game is competitive, fair and fun for all participants is a top priority. To protect the

integrity and enjoyment of all players, a “Maximum Ping” rule will be in effect for all tournaments. Any player

whose ping has been confirmed by an Admin to have a ‘Red’ / ‘1 Bar’ connectivity (Killer or Survivor) for an

extended period of time will receive a warning for poor connectivity, impacting the gameplay & experience of

others. If unable to resolve the connectivity issue, they will be removed from the event.

● The responsibility of providing proof of the poor connectivity will be on the player raising the dispute. The

Tournament Administrator will determine if they need to run a "Ping Check" to verify the connectivity of a

specific player. They are not required to administer a check if they determine the proof does not warrant

it.

● If it is determined that a player is continuously raising disputes for poor connectivity to game the outcome of

Full Match Recording

● In order to protect the integrity of the tournament, a minimum of one ‘Survivor’ and the ‘Killer’ (from the

same team) must be able to produce a full-match recording of any game played during the tournament, for

up to 24 hours after the match is played. Failure to appropriately capture, and provide this footage may

result in a dispute being unable to be resolved. The burden of proof is on the individual/team raising the

match dispute. Timestamps of specific clips and/or moments within provided evidence are required. Proof

provided without a given timestamp will not be reviewed.

● Each registered team is responsible for ensuring they have designated the ‘Survivor’ who is

responsible for recording gameplay.
