• If a disconnect occurs, the win goes to the player who receives the Victory screen.

• If the round timer ends but the match finishes within a reasonable time (to be determined by the judge), and a screenshot of the win is submitted to the Discord, the result may be overturned in favor of the winning player.

  → Take screenshots at the end of every match to avoid issues.
