If disconnection occurs during a match

If all the players cannot play due to an unintended, unforeseen accident such as server stoppage,
- Before the 3rd round starts: restart the match
- After the 3rd round starts: Disconnected player must re-connect to the server. The round is continued unpausing, and if the disconnected player cannot connect to the server, all players must wait during the freeze time after the round until the disconnected player connects to the server. At this time, the match may continue by unpausing. (Not a restart)

If up to 3 of all players are unintentionally disconnected: The score for that round is discarded. The game is paused after the round during the freeze time, and all players wait until the disconnected players are connected to the server. When all players are connected, the match may continue by unpausing the game.

In the case of intentional disconnection, the referee may decide to end the match with the offending team losing by forfeit.

Protests can only be filed by the team leader (ie: a player that represents the team)
- If a player does not agree to any rules, he/she can express his/her protest to a
referee before the completion of a match. Any intentional refusal to connect to the match server can result in a default loss for that team with the decision to be made at the sole discretion of the referee.

If a rematch is decided by the head referee, the team that does not follow this decision will be subject to disqualification.
