• When time is called during Swiss Rounds BO1 the game will be a Tie, unless otherwise stated by Staff If you believe your opponent is "Playing Slowly", please call a Judge as early as possible.
  
• If your Discord crashes, it will most likely result in a game loss unless it has came to a formal conclusion.
