• Punctuality: Teams have a 10 minute grace period from the scheduled match time to join the lobby. Failure to field a full 5 player roster within this time results in an automatic forfeit.

The Captain must submit clear video or screenshot proof. The administration team will review the evidence, handle the situation and provide an official update.

• Failure to adhere to the rules may lead to disciplinary actions including match forfeitures, loss of prizes, fines, or disqualification.
