Fractal Tournament Integration Guidelines

Notice

If integration does not meet one of these two integration flows, the integration will be rejected.

Fractal does its best to guarantee an easy and seamless experience for its players. We want all Fractal tournament participants to walk away with a fun experience.

When integrations have not adhered to these guidelines, they tend to be error prone, and lose a lot of potential participants and result in high number of complaints.
