  • All players on your team must finish the match for it to count


Party Privacy:

Connection Issues:  
  • If a player lags out during the game, that game will not count toward your team's points.

Cheating: 
All accusations of cheating or violation of any of the listed rules require proof for Support Staff to make the best-informed decision and enforce any penalties. The burden of proof is on the accusing party. We highly suggest that as many players as possible take pictures/screenshots and/or videos of their matches. If no proof can be provided of a cheating accusation, the results of the match will stand.
Smurfing is considered cheating. Use your main account. If admin or staff can prove you have an account with a higher ranking, there will be penalties imposed on your entire team unto and including disqualification from the event.
