Rules
Picking up weapons is NOT ALLOWED.
You are required to contact your enemies either through Steam or Discord once your match is apparent.
If your opponents fail to respond by the time the match is supposed to be played, you are eligible to claim a default win
Each team is allowed 1 pause per game.
Default win can be claimed only if one of these is true:
-The opposing team does not join the server 15 minutes after the scheduled time.
-The opposing team breaks any of the aforementioned rules.
Rescheduling matches to a time that does obstruct the tournament's flow will just result in a coin tossed result by the time the next round shall commence.
