General Rules:
If incorrect rule settings or using a banned item/perk will result in a forfeit of the most recent round for Tournaments and Live Supported Wagers if the round was won by the offending team. If your team won the round, a forfeit of the round will not be issued. If there are no rounds on a respawn tournament a map forfeit will be issued. YOU MUST LEAVE THE FOLLOWING ROUND WITHIN 15 SECONDS(AND BEFORE FIRST BLOOD) FOR A REPLAY OF THE ROUND TO TAKE PLACE. IF THE MATCH IS PLAYED TO COMPLETION THE RESULTS WILL REMAIN.
If you experience lag during a Tournament or Live Supported Wager match, please take proof and leave the game at the END of the round/beginning of the next round, and contact live support immediately. If it had an effect on the outcome of the round, the admin will issue a round replay, however, this is at the admins discretion to determine the effect on the outcome of the round. The more point of views of lag from your team the better as we must ensure it is the host causing the lag and not your individual connection.
If the match was finished and the lag did not occur during the last round, NO REPLAY will be issued. This means if you experienced lag during the second round and did not leave the game at the end of the round and continued to play the match out, we will not issue a replay.
*Please note we cannot force a host change without proof of lag.*
IMPORTANT
Use of a banned scorestreak may only result in a forfeit of the round if it is found to have an actual impact on the match.
Attempting to manipulate / exploit our rules through use of any banned items, perks, scorestreaks or wrong rules in game could result in a map forfeit rather than a forfeit of the most recent round. If you are found using these methods to exploit the rules or cheat in matches then you may face penalty including possible ban at the admins discretion.
Host Rules:
Host of each map is listed in the match details page provided to you.
1nD (best of 1) the team with the best/lowest seed in a tournament will host a single map match.
Bo3 (Best of 3) where you play a series of maps to win the majority of maps listed ( win 2/3 or 3/5 to win). The host will switch off from map 1 as described in the 1nD scenario above to the other team until the last map which is TBD (To Be Determined)
Best of 3 or Best of 5 the last map is TBD and is determined by the total number of rounds won by each team during the previous 2 or 4 maps. In the event of a tie here the host of map 1 will host again.
Host Invites the host of your match must add and invite their opponents though it’s encouraged everybody to do so to expedite the match getting played speedily.
No Shows:
1. A team has 15 Minutes from the scheduled match time to show for matches; failure to do so could potentially result in a forfeiture of the match. In the situation that the opposing team does not show up for the scheduled match, you MUST contact our support twitter
2. When alerted to a no-show the administrator will then contact your opponent at the 15-minute mark after the scheduled match start time. Your opponents will then have an additional amount of time to respond to the administrator and Join/Host (The additional amount of time is based on the administrator’s discretion).
3. Failure to follow the directions and the set deadlines from the administrator will result in a forfeiture of the match.
