Gameplay play
- All Matches will be best of 5 Games.
- Using any Restricted Item listed above will result in a forfeit of the game, or
a forfeit of the Search and Destroy round(s) in which the Restricted Item was used.
- We highly recommend that all players appear offline and set their Friends List to
Private during the matches. However, players are not required to do either of these
things.
- After a game lobby has been created, only players on the two teams and MWEB GameZone
Staff members may be invited/join. If a player who is not a registered member of
one of the teams (ineligible player) joins a game, the game must be ended. If a
player is found to have invited an ineligible player to a game, they will forfeit
the game. Teams may organize neutral hosts before the game. A lag test must be completed
to ensure both teams can play fairly on the line. If both team captains agree to
allow spectators/neutral host, then it will be accepted.
- If a player lags out of a game during the first 30 seconds or before the first kill,
the game must be restarted. If a player lags out of a game after the first 30 seconds
or after the first kill, the game must continue and the player who lagged out may
rejoin the game. If all players on a team lag out, that team will forfeit the game.
- If a player lags out of a search and destroy game, the current round must be completed.
After that round has been completed, the game must be ended. It is the responsibility
of the shorthanded team to end or leave the game before the start of the next round.
Rounds that are played while a team is shorthanded will be counted. After a game
is ended, the shorthanded team will be given 5 minutes for their teammate to return
before they must start another round shorthanded. When the game resumes, the score
will be as it was when the game was ended and the teams will be set to begin the
next round from the proper sides. For example, if Team A was leading 1 point to
0 when a player on Team B lagged out, and round 2 was won by Team A, the game would
resume with Team A leading 2 points to 0.
- Any form of cheating, glitching, abusing in-game mechanics, or unsportsmanlike behavior

of foul or degrading language. In addition, breaking any rule may result in a forfeit
of a Round/Map, forfeit of a Match, Verbal Warning or Ban from MWEB GameZone.
