If a player disconnects within the first 30 seconds of a map, the referee will abort the match and the map will be replayed. If a player disconnects 30s after the map has started, proof of their score at the disconnect (osu! screenshot or Twitch VOD) will be taken into consideration. If there is no proof of the disconnected player's score, the point goes to the opposing team.

Tiebreakers will be played with Freemod, mods are allowed but not required.
