3. You can start a player down if all of your team is not there 10 minutes after the scheduled match time. Note: You cannot start more than 1 player down and risk forfeiting at that point.
4. Playing in multiple tournaments will run the risk of you being automatically forfeited. OMENGAMING Tournament Officials will make the final decision based on facts.
5. If you face any issues whatsoever, please restart the Cold War application and try again. Should this not resolve your issue, please contact the tournament support team immediately.

• Procedure: OMENGAMING are enforcing our streaming policy to players competing on the PC system. All players on the PC system MUST live stream their tournament matches, players may not refuse. Should a player refuse to do as instructed, their team will potentially forfeit the match in question.
• VODs: If you are required to stream, you MUST ensure "Save past broadcasts" is enabled while streaming your tournament matches.
• Proof Required: The accussing team is ultimately responsible for providing any proof concerning their hacking claim. Please be ready to provide ample evidence that shows your opponent may potentially be hacking. If this proof is not provided, we still keep track of accusations, but we cannot work on word of mouth.
• Zero Tolerance: Any user found to be hacking will be permanently removed from OMENGAMING. Players found to be playing with a hacker will also be subject to more significant penalties than before.
• Voice: Players NOT using voice comms on stream may be subject to replays and/or forfeits at staff discretion.

Bracket Play

• Single Elimination: After losing a match, teams will be eliminated from the bracket
• Default Start Time: All round one (1) matches have the same default start time. After round one (1), all matches have a unique start time that is dependent upon the time at which the teams’ previous round results were submitted. Matches must be started by their start time and played until completion. Postponing matches is only at the discretion of Online Tournament staff.
• Double Forfeit: If a match is not played and neither team submits contacts Online Tournament staff requesting the forfeit win, or both teams otherwise forfeit a game/match, the game/match win will be awarded to the higher seeded team.

• Seeding: Teams will be randomly seeded at the close of registration. Seeds are done in ascending order. The higher seed is determined by the team with the seed closest to zero (0).

  • Example: Seed four (4) is a higher seed than seed ten (10).
• Game Types in Rounds: Game types will be set for each round of the bracket. These game types must be played and may not be substituted out.

All Matches

• Warm-Up: No warm-up or practice games are permitted once the match’s first game has begun. If a match is played before the scheduled time, it will not be considered a warm-up and will count as the official results.
• Delays: Teams may not delay the start of a match beyond its scheduled start time, without the approval of a tournament official. Teams may delay a match between games for up to five minutes. Teams can request that a tournament official enforce this five minute time limit. After five minutes of a tournament official enforced delay, if the delaying team does not have the minimum required players, they will forfeit the match.
• Lag: In the event that lag occurs, the game should be completed. The player(s) that are experiencing lag should take video proof, and provide it to tournament live support after the game has concluded. If lag is occurring, it is recommended that multiple players provide proof of the lag. Leaving the game prematurely may result in a forfeit of the round or game.

• Disconnections: If a player disconnects within the first thirty (30) seconds and/or before the first kill, the game should be ended. All players must leave the match to end the game.

  1. If a player disconnects after the first thirty seconds (30) and/or the first kill, the map must be continued and the missing player should be reinvited to the lobby. If the team with the missing player leaves the lobby, their team may forfeit the round/game in question.
• Normal Boundaries: Players who move their character outside of the normal boundaries of a map may forfeit the game. Moving outside of the normal boundaries of a map includes but is not limited to part of the character’s body passing through what should be a non-permeable surface or object, and moving into any area from which your character registers shots on an opponent who is not able to register shots on your character.
• After the match lobby has been created, only eligible players on the two teams and staff members may be invited/join. If an ineligible player joins a game, the game must be ended if the player affects the game and/or doesn't leave within 30 seconds of joining. If a Player is found to have invited an ineligible player to a game, they will forfeit the game.
