Disconnection Policy

Player Connectivity: If a player disconnects prior to the first elimination of Round 1 within a specific game, or before 30 seconds of the round time has passed, the game will be reset by all remaining players going back to the lobby. Once that time has passed, play will continue and the disconnected player will be allowed to rejoin the game at a point in between rounds (i.e. players cannot join the game during live play).

Lobby/Server Malfunctions: No games will be restarted except in the case of widespread significant technical difficulties or other lobby issues that are obviously not normal as determined by the Tournament Official.

  • Any intentional use, or attempted use, by a player of any bugs, exploits, game file modification or third party applications that would give an unfair advantage in the game is strictly prohibited.
