BarSport Official Rules of Engagement

1. The 30-Second Kick Rule

When it is your turn at the table, the app will ping you via Push Notification. From that exact second, you have 30 seconds to press "I'm Ready" in the app. If you fail to confirm, the system will automatically kick you from the queue and promote the next player. Do not go out for a smoke when you are #2 in line.

2. The Match Handshake & Dispute Resolution

To prevent cheating, both players must confirm the final score on their own devices.

  • The Dispute: If Player A reports a win, and Player B reports a win, the match enters a "Disputed" state.
  • The Penalty: Both players' Elo ratings are temporarily frozen, and neither player can join a new BarSport queue anywhere in the world until the dispute is resolved.
  • The Resolution: Disputes can be mutually canceled by the players, or forcibly resolved by the Venue Admin (the bartender).

3. Faction Turf Wars (Venue Control)

Every match won at a registered Venue contributes Control Points to your Faction.

  • Base Win = +10 XP.
  • Playing as a Clan member = 2.5x Multiplier (+25 XP).
  • The Faction with the most points at the end of the week claims visual control of that bar on the global War Map.

4. Venue Admins (For Bar Owners)

If you are a verified Venue Admin, you have absolute authority over your digital tables. You can pause the queue, mark a table as "Out of Service" (e.g., spilled drinks), and forcibly remove players from the waitlist who have left the premises.
