‼️ PLAYER DISCONNECTION RULES ‼️

In the event that a player leaves the game and is unable to return, the following rules will apply:

Substitute Players:

• If both team captains can agree on a substitute player, that player may take the place of the disconnected player.

Round Resolution:

• If a substitute cannot be agreed upon, the round score will be resolved using the usual restart rules:
  • Restart: If the match is in the early stages or the score is close, the round will be restarted.
  • Round Loss: If the disconnected player's team is losing by a significant margin (as determined by an impartial member of management, if possible), that team will forfeit the round.

Match Outcome:

• The overall match result will be determined based on the current score:
  • Score is 0-0: The match will be voided.
  • Player’s team is losing 0-1: The match will end with a 0-2 loss for the disconnected player's team.
  • Player’s team is winning 1-0: The match will be voided.
  • Score is 1-1: The player who left will incur double ELO loss, while the opposing team will gain half of the ELO they would have received (a fixed amount between 10-15 may be applied).

ELO Adjustments:

• Unless otherwise specified, all players will gain or lose ELO as usual when a win/loss occurs.

Ban Consideration:

• A ban may be issued at the discretion of the Management team, taking into account any extenuating circumstances.

♻ PLAYER RESTART RULES ♻

In the event that a player leaves the game and returns, the following rules apply:

Restart Criteria

A match may ONLY restart if both of the following apply:

Both teams are under 8,000 points. The score difference is ≤ 2,000 points.

No Stalling

Intentionally stalling or using the downtime to rethink strategy will result in a penalty.

Illegal Kits & Rule Breaks

If a team violates a rule in ranked-rules.md, the opposing team can choose one of two options:

1. Restart. If it happens twice, the offending team forfeits that map. -------OR--------
2. Continue Play: have the offending player /kill and switch kits immediately.

⚠️ If an illegal kit goes unnoticed for an entire map and affects the outcome, the game MUST be restarted. Otherwise, the final outcome will stand and any request for No Elo Loss will be denied.
