• Players must screenshot the final score screen of each individual game clearly showing the 90:00 playtime and all over information on the screen.
• This is a very important step and a way for the tournament Admins to confirm that the results are indeed correct.

• If both players are disputing their result, and neither can provide suitable evidence, both players may be given a default loss.
