Gameplay

For any allegations of cheating, glitching, or broken rules, etc., you are ONLY to contact admins or community moderators via discord dm's. Glitching accusations must be supported by video proof. Video proof can be edited to include only the section where the offense takes place; however, the video MUST include the score screen at one point. If material evidence is not included with your report it will not be considered and the match outcome will not be altered.
Technical Issues: Players are responsible for their own hardware, software and internet connection. Matches will not be rescheduled or because of client-side technical issues. If a team cannot play with the number of players that is stated in the requirements then it is their decision if they would like to forfeit or continue the match with a player down.
If a player lags out or experiences a bug of any sort, the round should be played out and completed. In the case of lag resulting in a player being unable to play: It is the prospector's responsibility to bring it to the attention of a tournament admin. At the completion of the round, 5 minutes will be allotted to try to re-establish contact with the missing player. After 5 minutes and if the player is still missing their squad will be forced to play with a substitute, or queue as 3 and play with a random if no substitute is available.
On the completion of the tournament days, there will be a 2 hour window on the conclusion of the tournament to put forward vods or issues of any bugs that may affect the VP or scoring for that weeks games and allow staff to make decisions on the outcomes.
For help with in game issues contact a tournament admin *only*.

Settings

Do not use a bugged character model (male head on female body or vice versa). This causes cloak to not work properly. While the only victim of this bug is the player who caused it, we are simply disallowing it to avoid issues.
