So I recently filled in for someone who couldn't make it to a tournament and we ended up winning, I just found at this morning that my tournament prize was given to the player i replaced on the team

This was the tournament progression

These were the games that were played, you can cross reference the other players on my team to see they have probably gotten their RP and ryze skin but I have not.

Actually, the community doesn't get anything from Riot; Riot distrubutes the points directly to accounts based on results reported by the organizer.

From my past experience Riot has required prizing to go to the summoners participating in the finals match of the tournament; any roster submitted other than this (if manually inspected by a rioter) may result in invalidation of prizing.

You'll probably want to submit a Support Ticket instead. If they responded here there's a good chance that's the only thing they'd tell you.

Make sure you contact the event organizer with the same information and have them contact Riot as well.

Hey I understand your frustration.

If you read the TOS under the Section regarding to the free riot points the community obtained from riot it states something to the effect of.

"All roster must be sent to them prior to the tournament begging and all prizes must go to the assigned players on the roster"

even if someone is subed in.

This is sadly how it works. Riot makes Community's jump through hoops to get the free riot points to host tournaments like this.

If the community were to give you the prize they could risk never being able to get points from Riot again for their tourneys.

So as everyone else stated send a ticket to them and the community but im 100% Posative this is what both will tell you.

At least they will have the link to the rules so you can read for yourself.

hope this helps,

You So Bad
