Referees reserve the right to disqualify any participant for infractions or attempt to stall, sabotage, cheat in, or otherwise delay the tournament.This applies to before the match, and only applies to running the clock during a match when it is deemed as being purposeful to stall, troll, or otherwise sabotage/act in a malicious manner during the tournament in accordance with the fair play rule.
2. In cases where a referee or player believes that the other player has violated the bans/restrictions, the match MUST be played to completion. Do not stop mid-match to avoid encouraging false claims (if a player is losing) and/or mistaken claims. After the match as been played, referees will look at the results screen and view both ACs to verify whether or not the AC is meeting the restrictions/bans. If in the case that both referees or players do not get a good look at ACs (IE accidentally exiting results screen), it will be required that both players start up the match again and self destruct so that they can go back to the results screen and view the AC.

Game Rules
Spoiler
Match Win Conditions
-Victory is achieved either by destroying the opponents AC or having the most AP at time limit.
-All ties are determined by the game. Even if visually it appears that both ACs are destroyed at the same time, a draw will only be administered if the game verifies it as such by displaying the DRAW message.
-In situations where a DRAW does occur it will result in another match on the same map.
-Out of bounds counts as an AC being destroyed. The match point will be awarded to the other player.
Map Selection Process
-Players may either agree on the first map (Mock or Free Battle) OR if agreement cannot be met, random is chosen from Mock Battles for the first match.
-The loser of each match gets to choose the next map. They may choose either Mock or Free battle maps.
--A map can be chosen multiple times as long as both players agree to it. Otherwise, it is limited to one use. A map coming up in random counts as one use.
-If a map is in both Mock Battle and Free Battle, it is still limited to one use.
-Mynsky Hill is always banned. If it is picked during random, another map must be picked at random.
Maps that are legal to choose:
Mock Battle Maps (Extermination Mission, No Subtarget)
Free Battle Maps (Team Battle Ver.)
Building in-between matches
-Players may change ACs at any time during the 3 minute assembly period before a match starts. There is no limit on building beyond the Part Restrictions stated in the VERDICT-FC ruleset.
Penalties
-Penalties occur whenever a player breaks a rule.
-Using a banned part (Dual Shoulder Arm, Shield, Cornelius Archibald legs) results in a penalty, with the match being awarded to the opponent (regardless of end result).
-Poor behavior results in a warning the first time, match loss the second, and DQ the third time. If severe enough, referees may choose to skip the listed steps and go straight for DQing the player.
-Use of any type of glitch is an instant DQ.
