• If team 1 have killed 5+ heroes more than team 2 during the period of the last savegame and the disconnection, then the disconnect is in the favour of team 1. For example:
- At the time of the savegame the score is 35-35
- At the time of the disconnection the score is 42-37 for team 1
- Since team 1 have killed 5+ heroes more than team 2, team 1 may now chose wether to continue the match or remake from the savegame.

• One team is Sentinel side and the other team gets to choose who has first pick. If the teams are not able chose who is what, you can ask an admin for a cointoss.
• If a host has been decided upon, the entire match will be finished with that host, unless both teams agree to change.
• If the teams cannot agree upon a host then the host will be decided by a coinflip conducted by an admin.
• If a team is not available at the scheduled time you have to atleast wait 20 minutes before requesting a default win. To request a default win you have to speak with an admin who will look into the case. Admins will rule on fairplay, by trying to help getting in touch with the opponent and rather letting a match start late than giving a forfeit win. However the fairplay ruling is not a privilege to any team, and is based solely the admins decision.

• Both teams are responsible to save a screenshot regarding the confirmation of match times. This will be used as evidence to claim a default win from an admin when the opponent shows no sign of appearing after the 20 minutes deadline.

• In the case of a missing player the opponent has to wait a minimum of 20 minutes to give the other team the chance to reach him. Afterwards they may chose to claim a forfeit win, or they can play the match 4on5 or 4on4. A team may never play a match with less than 4 players. Fairplay might overrule unfair decisions ( in case a far stronger team is being forced to forfeit instead of playing 4on5 by a far weaker team ).
