• During the knockout stage, broadcast teams will take 2 minute breaks between games except for the break between game 3 and game 4, which will be 10 minutes.
• If you need a longer break between games on a broadcast match, contact admins immediately.

Substitution:

• If a team needs a sub they can change exactly one player.
  • This player can be anyone with an Omega Strikers account.
  • If a team cannot field 3 players after using their (one) substitution, they will be disqualified.

Technical issues:

• If either team encounters technical issues, they may ask an admin for a remake in the first thirty seconds of the game.
  • If the issue occurs after that time, or it is determined that a team are abusing this rule, they may either play with the issue or forfeit the game.
