If a team fails to inform the official (or @Stellar_Clone : GT - Stellar Clone) of the rule issue for that map before the next map begins, then the map goes to the winner with wrong rules, and the chance to dispute the map is lost. Tournament Officials
Each matchup must have at least 1 official/ref present, and an official/ref should be in the match lobby before the match starts.
Teams should contact (@Stellar_Clone GT: Stellar Clone) if they encounter any problems with officials/refs either between maps or before matchup starts.

Furthermore, no ref/official may be in a party during match, and the ref/official must be in CoD caster and not assigned to a team. If a ref/official breaks this rule the match will be replayed from the 1 map and offending ref/official must be replaced before the match can begin again.

The Team that doesn’t Host a map must choose to play as the top or bottom team for that Game.
If a Round/Game is started without the approval of a Tournament Official, it will be restarted from the beginning.
If a Capture the Flag Game (CTF) or Hardpoint (HP) Game ends in a tie, the Game must be replayed. Host and top/bottom teams are not changed when a Round/Game is replayed.
Players who quit or disconnect from a Game, before it has ended, will be allowed to rejoin the Game, but a Team will Forfeit the Game if all of their Players quit without a Tournament Official’s permission.
If an Official or CODCaster loses their connection to the Game, but both Teams remain in the Game, the Game must continue.
Before the start of a Match, Players should ensure that they don’t have any outstanding invitations to the Custom Game.
If an outside Player joins a Round while it is in progress and stays for more than 10 seconds, picks up or uses a weapon, picks up or defuses the bomb, picks up or returns the flag, or is injured, the effected Round must be restarted. Teams must have proof if an Official is not present to provide proof of an outside Player joining the effected Round.

Host Choices - Best of 7 Games Matches
The hot of the 1st map is the top team in the bracket.
If players cannot connect to the player hosting then another player on the same team will host. If the team that is supposed to host cannot offer a connection everyone can join then a tourney Official will be used to host for the team no one can connect to.
The same map and gametype cannot be repeated/played more than once in a Best of 7 Games Match.
Hosting & Custom Games Creation
The Hosting Player should create the Custom Games Lobby. As the hosting Team changes over the course of a Match, the new hosting Player should leave the Custom Games Lobby and create a new one.
The exact MLG Settings and Restrictions must be used for all Games.
If the host starts the match with the wrong settings it can be restarted within 45 seconds of the start of the game. IF the host starts a game and ends it more than 3 times with the wrong rules that team forfeits the current map. If the host starts the game with wrong rules and one team gets a kill before match is ended the host team forfeits the map.
Players/Teams who quit out of a Game and claim that the wrong Settings were used will Forfeit the Game if they are unable to provide proof to back up their claim.
No warm-up or practice Games are permitted once the Match’s first Game has begun. Host Test Games that last for 1 minute or less are permitted. Custom Game Creators who violate this rule may Forfeit a Game/Match, and disputing team must provide proof.
Host Test Games should be played using a Map that the Teams are not scheduled to play against each other so that Players aren’t confused about whether the Match has officially begun/resumed.
If, after the start of a Game, Host is transferred to a Player who wasn’t designated to be the Game’s Host, the Game must still be played.
If a Player’s connection to the Host becomes unreasonable during a Game, the Game must still be played. After each Game, either Team may request that a new Host be tested, if the previous Host was unreasonable.
If a Player loses their connection to the Host in the first 45 seconds, the player must be invited back and the game must be restarted.
If a Player loses their connection to the Host after 45 seconds passes, the Round/Game must continue. Players losing their connection to the Host may be invited back to the Custom Game.
If the Custom Game Creator incorrectly ends a Round/Game after 45 seconds has passed, without a Tournament Official’s permission, their Team will Forfeit the Game.
Teams may request that they be allowed to give up their hosting privileges for one or more Games. The opposing Team must then accept or reject the opportunity to Host that Game(s). If neither team can agree on host, then a tourney Official will choose the best host (in their opinion) and teams Must comply with the Official's choice of host.
