Before the Match

• Teams in different regions should decide on a neutral host location that is suitable for the match (server with the overall lowest ping for both teams).

• Make sure to test the server for lag before the match commences.

• Teams in the same region should use a server located in that region.

• If the teams cannot agree upon a neutral host location then the server will be decided by a match admin.

During the Match

• In case of an in-game dispute, pause the game and contact a match admin.

• In the case that both teams cannot agree on a decision or an admin is not available, the remainder of the match will be played out and the teams can submit the replay match ID for an admin review/appeal afterward.

• No observers or referees are allowed in a match unless they are match admins, shoutcasters, or streamers.

• Teams are allowed to remake the game if a remake vote succeeds.

• If a player drops his team is allowed to pause for a period of 5 minutes without the opposing team unpausing (giving the appropriate player a chance to reconnect in a timely fashion; note that this does not mean you can keep pausing if a player has a bad connection and continues to drop multiple times afterwards). Should the player not reconnect in the allotted time, both teams should resume the match.

After the match

• The game is over when:

  • One team votes to concede.

  • 2 or more players on the same team say ff and leave.

  • The World Tree or Sacrificial Shrine is destroyed.

• The match ID must be submitted by one of the teams in the match comments.
