Any cheating, exploiting, or contravention of the foregoing rules must be brought to the attention of the Admins.

Any use of the spectate function by participants during official matches, either directly or indirectly, to obtain an advantage of any kind is classified as cheating.

If one team needs to reschedule their time slot they may reschedule it within the respective time frame. Rescheduling is only possible if both teams are able to participate during the new time slot. If a team is unable to participate during the original time and is not able to find a suitable time slot for both sides they will receive a forfeit.

During the match:

Technical Issues
Teams are responsible for any of their own technical issues, including hardware, software, or internet issues.
In the case of a technical issue during a match, the team may request a restart of the current round. Each round may be only restarted once. A restart is only possible if the round has been going on for less than one minute.

Forfeits
Players have a 15 minutes buffer from the scheduled start time to be ready. After the buffer has elapsed, the team that is not ready (or responsible for the delay) forfeits the match. We advise you to publicly contact the other team on discord as proof for being ready.

If one team is lacking players at the start of the match the other team may choose from one of the following options:
The team lacking players will be filled up with bots (the lacking team has to agree, they may decide to start with fewer players instead)
The lacking team has to compete with fewer players
The deciding team stands down players to match the player number of the lacking teams


If both team are lacking players, the team captains may decide between:
Fill with bots up to a full 4v4
Both teams play with an equal player count
The team with fewer players fills up to the number of real players of the other team
