🤝 TIES & INTENTIONAL DRAWS
Ties and Intentional Draws (IDs) are not allowed in this tournament. All matches must have a winner.
If the round timer expires and the score is 0-0 or 1-1, the result is a tie, and both players will receive a tie on their record.
Screenshots of wins are strongly recommended for dispute resolution.
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.
