Suspended players

Suspended players may not participate in any sanctioned competitive or professional Flesh and Blood tournaments (including tier 2 and above) until their suspension expires.

Suspensions apply to (but are not limited to) the following events:

  • Road to Nationals
  • ProQuest
  • Battle Hardened
  • Nationals
  • Calling
  • ProTour
  • World Championship

Suspended players are not allowed to participate in the above listed tournaments, and are not allowed to participate in tournaments at an event containing one of these tournaments. (For example an on-demand event hosted during a Calling weekend.)

Subject to the tournament organizer's permission, suspended players may still participate in standalone tier 1 or casual tournaments that are not part of any event that contains competitive or tier 2 and above tournaments (for example a Calling or Nationals weekend). Suspended players may, with explicit Tournament Organizer approval, participate in the following standalone events:

  • Armory
  • Skirmish
  • Pre-release
  • On-demand

We want to encourage suspended players to still participate in the community, under the outlined rules.

Breaking suspension or appearing before the player conduct committee again may extend the suspension duration or be upgraded to a permanent ban.
