Specific Settings

•  At ConsoleGlitches.com, we want our gamers to personalize their matches as much as possible.
•  All settings must be agreed upon before the match.

 Rosters

• Members are only allowed to be on one team per ladder.
• All users that are participating in a match must be registered on ConsoleGlitches.com and be eligible on that team.
• The name on the roster of the team MUST match the name of the user in the match.
• For a member to be eligible to play in a match, they must have a green "check mark" next to their name stating they are able to participate. Any member with a red "X" is ineligible and will not be able to participate.
• If a team shows up with an ineligible player, the game must be stopped, and a ticket must be sent immediately. If a ref is available contact them immediately.
• Each team must make sure the opposing team is eligible and able to play.

Challenges

• Any rules stated in an accepted challenge, must be used in that match. This included number of players, rules, etc.
•  If BOTH teams wish to cancel the challenge then both team must send in a ticket requesting for the challenge to be removed.
• Two teams can NOT play each other more than once in a 48 hour period.

Matches

• Each match is played in either 1, 3, or 5 rounds. In sports games however, each exhibition game counts as one round. In games where the match is decided best of three rounds, i.e. Street Fighter IV, Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe, then each best of three match only counts as one round.
• A "Lag Test" must be performed before the match is started. If the game lags during this test, a new host must be chosen. If both teams cannot find or agree upon an acceptable host, the match needs to be removed. To have the match removed, both teams need to submit tickets asking that the match be canceled.
• Teams may not delay the match for more than 5 minutes between each map. If a team delays the start for longer than 5 minutes between maps, they will forfeit that map. The team that did not delay must submit a ticket with valid proof showing that this delay did occur. First, the match must be completed and the scores must be reported correctly.
• If a player drops within the first 30 seconds of the round, the match must be restarted. If the player drops in the middle of a round, he/she may be invited back into the match. Unless it is a kill dependent mode, then the team that lost the member forfeits that round.
• If a map results in a tie, the map will be replayed with the same sides and settings.

Cheating

• Any team killing or repeated "suicides" in a match will not be tolerated.
• "Snaking", glitching, or any manipulation of a game to get an advantage is considered cheating and will result in an automatic loss of the whole match.
• The use of any communications other than what is provided within the game is prohibited.

No-Shows

• Teams have 15 minutes from the scheduled match time to start the match.
• The team must show up with all members. If the opposing teams is short on their members, they forfeit that map unless the two teams agree to continue.

Reporting

• Both teams must report the results accurately. Any team reporting fake wins will be held accountable.
• If the opposing team does not report the match after the battle, the match will be reported automatically in 24 hours.
• Any teams that repeatedly report false results will be locked.

Crown
