Frequently Asked

This is an OCE focused tournament. Teams from other regions are not permitted. However, SEA players may join OCE teams as survivors if the team has a minimum of 2 OCE survivors. SEA players cannot play killer.

Yes. Players can stream with a minimum 10-minute delay, must include "The Black Vale League - Reckoning" in the stream title, and must notify match staff beforehand.
What is Balanced by Daylight?
Balanced by Daylight is both a web tool and perk restriction system. Each perk can only appear once across all 5 players in a match (survivors and killer combined), creating strategic depth and diverse playstyles. Players use the Balanced by Daylight website to create their loadouts and must submit screenshots of both their in-game builds and BBD builds before each match.
What happens if someone breaks the rules?
Consequences range from warnings and penalties to match forfeits, team disqualifications, and league bans. The severity depends on intention, impact, match significance, and the team's cooperation.
