Fairplay.
The rules every MINT Cup runs on, and how we keep results honest. Each cup also has its own rules page.
Nobody pays to play
Every MINT Cup is free to enter. There are no entry fees on any cup, for any game.
How results work
After each match, both captains report the score on the match page and can attach a link to a screenshot of the result screen.
If the two reports match, the result is confirmed and the winner moves on in the bracket. If they don't match, the match is flagged and an admin reviews it, using the screenshots and notes both sides sent.
Every admin decision is recorded in an audit log.
Disputes
Any player in a match can raise a dispute from the match page while the match is being played, or up to one hour after the result is confirmed. After that hour the result stands.
Explain what happened and add screenshot links if you have them. An admin reviews it, and the decision shows on the match page.
Conduct
Treat opponents, admins and casters with respect. Cheating, playing on someone else's account and abuse are not allowed. Admins can disqualify a team that breaks these rules.
Accounts and teams
Each player links one account per game, for example one Riot ID for League of Legends, and an account can only be linked to one player. Riot IDs can be checked with Riot and marked verified.
A player can be on one team per game, so nobody plays for two teams in the same cup. A team's roster is saved when it registers. Once check-in opens, players can't leave or be removed until the cup is over.
Privacy
MINT Cup counts visits with its own analytics, without cookies. A visitor is counted with an anonymous code that changes every day, so we can count unique visitors without knowing who they are. The numbers stay in our own database, and there are no ad trackers.
The only cookies are the ones that keep you signed in. Public profiles never show your email address or Discord account. When a cup is live, its page can embed the Twitch player, which Twitch runs under its own privacy policy.
