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 game and restart the game. If a player disconnects after the first thirty seconds (30) and/or the first kill, the game must be continued and the disconnected Player should rejoin the game. If the team with the disconnected Player leaves the lobby, their team may forfeit the round/game in question. The Administration reserves the right to make the final decision in any disconnect situations.  Game Altering Bugs. Bugs are defined as errors, flaws, or failures that produce an incorrect, unexpected, or unintended result during the course of gameplay. For the purposes of procedure in regards to the occurrence of Bugs during live gameplay, and at the discretion of the Administration, Bugs are separated into two categories.  

1. Minor Bug. At the discretion of the Administration, a Minor Bug is one that does not significantly alter the outcome of a game and is, at worst, considered an inconvenience to Players. The occurrence of a Minor Bug would not result in the replay or remake of any game and Players should be instructed to play through the Bug.  

1. Major Bug. At the discretion of the Administration, a Major Bug is one that critically or significantly alters the outcome of a game and severely hinders the performance of Teams and/or Players. The occurrence of a Major Bug would result in a restart as set forth in Section 6.Game Restarts.  

Search and Destroy. In the case of a server crash, host drop, or a Major Bug as determined by the Administration, the game will be restarted with the score of the Map before the incident. The restarted game will end when one team’s total score hits 6.
