Pauses
No pauses are allowed outside of available timeouts. If a player uses the pause button, they must also use a timeout. If no timeouts are available, the player will receive a warning. Multiple pauses without a timeout available will result in a match loss. If your opponent is in violation of this rule please report to Tournament operator and include screenshots as proof.
Disconnects
In the case that a player disconnects before a minute has elapsed on the game clock, or the first point, whichever occurs first, the game will be immediately remade with the same settings and teams and home/away status. If the disconnect happens after this point, the score will be added to the second game, and only the remaining time will be played. Players will be required to work together to reach a “resume” point. Both players will not score until the clock has reached the point of the disconnect, and then the game will be “live” and continue normally. Be sure to take screenshots of both games to prove the score. The score will then be added from both games to reach our final score. If a disconnect happens after the first half, the first and second quarters of the second game will become the new 3rd and 4th quarters to save time. Players should make their best possible effort to restore the second game to an accurate setting of the first game. This should include score, timeouts remaining, and possession of the ball.
For Example:
The score is tied 45-45 with 4:00 remaining on the game clock in the 3rd quarter when the match is disconnected. Players will take a screenshot of the score, and then create a second game. The players will allow the clock to time down to 4:00 without scoring. As soon as the clock reaches 4:00 in the first quarter, the game is now “live” again and will play to the end of the half. Players will take an additional screenshot at half time to prove the score of the second game. Players will not complete this second game, as 4 quarters will have been played by the end of the half. If the score at the end of the first half, of the second game, is 25-20, the final score would now be 70-65.
Results Confirmation
Win or lose you must always confirm the match results after your series is complete. You must do this within 10 minutes of your matches finishing. Failure to confirm your results will result in a warning. You should always upload your screenshots for evidence after the game has been completed. You should screenshot the head to head screen before the match begins, the final score, and any other disputable situations.
