Cheating: 
All accusations of cheating or violation of any of the listed rules require proof from 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.
