Delays: NO MILKING!!!
The UGC will not tolerate tournament delays in any capacity. We will do our best to enact a fair judgment on any reasonable delay placed on the tournament as long as any teams or players contact and notify a UGC admin. 
  • If you are still in a series and don’t think you will make the next round start time, please contact a UGC admin and let them know
  • UGC maintains a zero-tolerance policy on the purposeful delay of a tournament.
  • You have 15 mins from the time the round starts to start your game in the series. 
  • If your team is not prepared by 20 mins to play, your team will be penalized. ZERO EXCEPTIONS
Penalties for delays are as follows
  • First offense: (15 mins after start time) Forfeit Game 1 
  • Second offense: (20 mins after start time) Forfeit Game 2
  • Third offense: (25 mins after start time) Forfeit Series

  • Game 1: Higher seed
  • Game 2: Lower seed
  • Game 3: Higher seed
  • Game 4: Lower seed
  • Game 5: Higher seed


Party Privacy: 
  • It is the responsibility of the team hosting a game to make sure the party is set to invite-only. 
  • If players join your match and you are the hosting team, you will be penalized. 

    • First Offense: Warning by UGC admin
    • Second Offense: The hosting team will forfeit the map
    • Third Offense: The hosting team will forfeit the series




Connection Issues:  
  • If a player lags out during the first 30 seconds or before the first kill, the map should be ended and restarted. If a player lags out after the first kill or first 30 seconds, the game shall continue. The player may rejoin the current game. 
  • If you have a player lag out after 30 seconds have passed in-game, or after the first kill has occurred, DO NOT END THE GAME 
  • If the other team can prove that the host is unplayable, it will be up to the UGC admin overseeing the event to make a decision to play or switch hosts. 


Restarts: 
For all game modes, the hosting team is responsible for starting the games with the correct settings. If the game is started with incorrect settings, or the map isn't correct, the hosting team will be penalized. 
Restart penalties are as follows:
  • First Offense: Warning by UGC admin
  • Second Offense: The hosting team will forfeit the map
  • Third Offense: The hosting team will forfeit the series


Cheating: 
All accusations of cheating or violation of any of the listed rules require proof from the accusing party. UGC admins will make the best judgment around accusations of cheating to enforce any penalties and to make the best-informed decision. The burden of proof is on the accusing party. We highly suggest that as many players as possible take pictures/screenshots and/or videos of their matches to support their claims. If no proof can be provided of a cheating accusation, the results of the match will stand.


Disqualification: 
Any and all disqualifications are at the sole discretion of the UGC admin overseeing the tournament. (Eric or RJ)
