Match standard

1) Match Agreement & Completion

Every ranked match starts with written shared expectations, including any special rules, and ends with a recorded outcome.

• A ranked match can be any activity with any rules, as long as all participants agree.
• Any special rules, custom restrictions, scoring changes, format changes, or match-specific conditions must be written out in the ranked match before play begins. If a special rule is not written in the ranked match, it cannot be enforced.
• Once started, every ranked match must be concluded, even if it ends in a draw.

2) Results, Disputes, and Authority

• Results of a ranked match may be disputed by filing a ticket.
• All decisions made by Kickback Kingdom are final.

Integrity rule

3) Integrity, Conduct, and Enforcement

Ranked play depends on respect, fair competition, and enforceable consequences for misconduct.

• We pride ourselves on the unbreakable integrity of our ranked system, judgement, tournaments, and honor.
• Griefing a ranked match or tournament may result in a temporary or permanent ban from future events.
• Be respectful and restrain yourself from getting angry or heated if you are losing a match.
• The Dissident Protocol tracks ranked misconduct with strikes. Reaching 3 active strikes gives you a Dissident flag.
• Dissidents are temporarily banned from ranked matches and Kickback servers while their flag is active.
• Strikes can expire over time, and the Dissident flag duration depends on the severity of the offense.
• Cheating results in a 1 year ban from ranked matches and Kickback servers.

Payout promise

4) Fees, Collections, and Prize Payout Commitment

Entry fees, host obligations, and prize payout commitments stay clear before events conclude.

• Participants are required to pay any entry or registration fee associated with the event.
• Quest hosts are responsible for providing any fees that failed to be collected from participants.
• Participants who fail to pay registration fees may have their accounts locked from trading, using the store, joining other events, and other platform features.
• Since all ranked events must be concluded, events with a cash prize will always be paid out by Kickback Kingdom in the agreed upon currency and payment method.
