If the host has incorrect settings, please record a video of what is wrong, ensuring that the points, time, players, and the incorrect rule are visible(depending on the accusation) and after immediately inform an admin.
In the case that the host has the correct configuration and the opponent leaves the match before it is completed, the team thata remains in the lobby will receive the victory.
