No-Shows

3. Verbally abusing Staff members called into a match will not be tolerated. The individual user and/or team violating this rule will be subject to being disqualified.

Matches

1. All matches must be played in their entirety.
2. Rules under the Tournament Options must be used. Verbal agreements will not receive staff support.
3. The lower ranked team/player at match time will host the first map. The higher ranked team/player at match time will host the second map. This will alternate for each map if/until a tie breaker map is needed. The team/player that has won the most combined rounds will host the final map. If there is a tie in rank (i.e. both are unranked), the team/player on the Top Bracket will have first host. If there is a tie in round count, the lower ranked team will host the tie breaker map.
4. A "Lag Test" must be completed prior to starting the match. This is a test round that doesn't count and uses the standard game settings that will be used during the match. For the lag test, a map that is not scheduled for play must be used. If the game lags during this test, a new host must be chosen. If both teams cannot agree on an acceptable host, a conflict must be submitted.
5. Teams may not delay the match for more than 5 minutes between each map. If a team delays the start for longer than 5 minutes between maps, they will forfeit that map. The team that did not delay must make a conflict with valid proof showing that this delay did occur. First, the match must be completed and the scores must be reported correctly. Do not conflict the match on purpose. After the match is complete, conflict and submit the URL link of the proof.
6. If a player/host disconnects during the initial launch of a map, the map will be restarted. The initial launch is defined as within the first 30 seconds or before the first kill. If both teams disagree over when the disconnection took place, video proof must be provided. First, the match must be completed and become a conflict. The URL link of the proof must be submitted once the match is completed.
7. If the host disconnects after the map has started, the host's team forfeits that map. After the map has started is after 30 seconds or after the first kill. If both teams disagree over when the disconnection took place, video proof must be provided. First, the match must be completed and become a conflict. The URL link of the proof must be submitted once the match is completed.
8. If a player disconnects after the map has started, the player that the team belongs will automatically lose that map.
9. The act of Split Screening is not allowed. Only one player per console is permitted. If a team is found breaking this rule they lose the entire match.
