Teams have 5 minutes between each map/game mode. If a team/player goes over this period you may forfeit the map at administrators discretion.

If a match goes beyond what is a reasonable allocated time both teams are subject to forfeit at administrator discretion.

Please follow the above steps under contact us for support if required.

5.2 Map Selections & Rotations
The Map(s) for this competition will be generated for the players by the CyberGamer tournament system and will be visible on he match page. Players are required to play the specific maps listed for each round. The maps assigned are to be played in the order as displayed on the match page. Verbal agreements to play different maps and/or game types will not be honored by Admins.

On occasion it is a known issue that the system may not display the generated map rotation for some challenges. If this is the case it is the responsibility of the team captain to notify an administrator via the CyberGamer Support System.

Best of 3 series will use the following game mode rotation:
Search and Destroy - Search and Destroy - Search and Destroy

All Host Choices must be made prior to the start of a Match in the match chat.

If, after the start of a Game, Host is transferred to a Player who wasn't designated to be the Game's Host, the Game must still be played.

We highly suggest that a lag test be performed before the start of each map. If a lag test is not performed, it will be implied that all players agree the host is acceptable to play on.

If a player's connection to the Host becomes unreasonable during a game, the Game must still be played. After each Game, either Team may request that a new Host be tested, if the previous Host was unreasonable.

In the event that the host's connection drops (10 seconds or greater of red bar, proof must be shown) or the game is ended, the hosting team will forfeit that game.

5.6 Ruleset
It is the responsibility of the match host to ensure that the correct ruleset is loaded for the match. In the instance that the incorrect ruleset is played the map will be forfeited to the team which did not host. If it is established within the first 30 seconds or the first kill or points have been earned, that the ruleset is incorrect the map must be restarted.

Verbal & Written agreements to play different settings and/or rules will not be honored by Admins, this includes gentlemens agreements.

5.7 Minimum amount of players
Teams may only play one man down from the number of players who would normally be present on the map. (i.e 3v4). A Team will Forfeit the Match if they don't have the minimum required players present by 15 minutes after a Match's default start time. Teams with the minimum required players present may start the Game at the end of the 15 minute start time or 5 minute period between matches, or forfeit the map, for the 5 minute timer to start again. Bots are not permitted in any Game.

5.8 Substitutions
Substitutions are only permitted in the period between maps. Substitutions are not to be made once the map has started. If a player times out then they can not be replaced.

5.9 Connection Issues
If a Player disconnects from a map during the first 30 seconds or the first kill or points have been earned, the map must be restarted. If a player disconnects after the first 30 seconds or the first kill or points have been earned, the map must continue until complete. The player may reconnect and play the rest of the map. A substitute may not take his place while the map is underway. At the end of the map if the player is yet to rejoin, then player will be given 5 minutes to re-connect.
