Tournament Rules Update
| Hello everyone We have made another round of changes to the 🏴📜〕rules-and-guidelines. Please reference the rules document for the full changes. Below is a brief summary of our changes: TFO Rules Update: 10/6/2026 Consumable Items: – All non-equippable pet summon items (e.g. Spider Swarm, Compact Harvester Reaper Kit, etc.) are banned. – Student Fodder is banned. – Flash bomb is banned. Items: – Equippable pet summon items and trinkets(e.g. Dog Whistle) are permitted. – Truthseeker’s Bow is banned – Green Whelp Armor is banned. – Goblin Sapper Charge is banned. General Rules: – Transmog must be disabled during the tournament. Clarifications: – Rogue opener: Stealth Classes will always get the uncontested opener in a duel. An uncontested opener is defined as the first offensive action cast, which includes ability-use such as Cheap Shot, Blood Fury, or trinket use such as Barov’s Peasant Caller. Opponents must stand still until the uncontested opener has been initiated (do not spin your character around, hunters cannot place traps, etc). A player may pre-activate abilities such as Intimidate, but they may not disrupt the Stealth Classes’ opener. – Can buff yourself with items before duel: Only Class self-buffs are permitted for each player. Players may buff themselves with items and consumables before a duel has begun, provided they are not from other classes and do not violate any other rules. – Yes can PWS before duel: Pre-Hotting (applying Heal over Time spells before a duel begins) is banned. Applying Power Word: Shield before a duel begins is permitted. – Prize Money: The TFO total prize pool is $100,000. $50,000 will be distributed to the Champion, and the remainder will be divided evenly between the top placing individuals of each respective class ($5,555 to each of the 9 classes). For the class of the finals winner, the class split will go to the second highest placing player of that class. Tied classes’ prize money will be divided evenly. As always, competitors are responsible for reading and understanding all of the rules, regulations, and policies of our events. WoW: Forever is still an unsolved game; item/consumable bans may be modified at any time. The TFO team, at its sole discretion, may update, amend, or supplement the ruleset at any time. Thank you. |
