Lag Rules
- There may be instances of lag in the games. Please show good sportsmanship to Admins and players in such instances.
- If an opponent has speed up ARMS, the game will continue. Players
are allowed to ask for a replaying of 1 match if this occurs. In that
case the reporter has to provide proof. Then the player with the
connection issue will try to solve it. After that the match will
continue.
- If the problem doesn't get resolved a second time, 1 match will go to player with a stable connection.
- If your opponent is teleporting and has ARMS going through them.
Record this and show it to an admin. If the admin agrees then 1 match
will go in favor of player with a stable connection.
- If a player disconnects due to connection issues, that player will forfeit that match (0-0 → 0-1).
- If there's lost connections several times, that player will be disqualified and forfeits that match (0-0 → 0-2).
- If you run into any lag or disconnect issues and the opponent
agrees, you are allowed to circumvent the Lag Rules above once and
replay 1 match. Otherwise the Lag Rules above will still apply.
Other Notes
- It's recommended for all players to play with a wired connection.
- If you have a poor internet connection, make sure to not throttle
your connection by tuning into streams, play videos or download
anything.
- Keep in mind that if players fail to resolve situations by
themselves, Admins are allowed to make decisions to prevent stalling of
the tournament.
