Before you travel

What to confirm before entering any event

We encourage players to double-check the entry fee, start time, platform, and venue message before tournament day. That simple habit reduces late arrivals, missed fixtures, and avoidable disputes for everyone in the bracket.

Entry confirmation

Do not assume a screenshot or chat message alone secures your slot. Wait for direct confirmation from the Kasi Joystick admin team.

Controller readiness

Bring your controller fully charged and make sure your settings and profiles are ready before your first match is called.

Venue timing

Arriving early gives you time for setup, rule questions, and bracket verification before the round begins.
