In the instance that the hosting team have the correct match settings and you leave the game before it is completed, the team that did not leave will receive the win for that map.
In the instance that the hosting team have the incorrect match settings and you do not leave the game before it is completed, the result of that map will stand.
The hosting team will not forfeit the map if the non hosting team does not leave the match and the map is completed.
Forfeits
In order for a team to forfeit, the opposing team must leave or end the match immediately after they have captured proof of their accusation. Teams will not be forfeited if the opposing team do not leave the game and the map is completed.
Teams will forfeit a map for the following reasons:
- The use of a banned weapon, perk, attachment, or any other restricted item listed under the Restrictions below by any player. Using the equipment includes holding it while running or walking and/or placing it on the ground.
- Leaving or ending a match prior to it's completion and then failing to provide valid proof of the accusation against the opposing team.
- Hosting a match with the incorrect Match Settings shown below.
- The host disconnecting after the first 30 seconds or after a kill has been made.
- Delaying a match by more than ten (10) minutes in between maps.

If a player disconnects during the initial launch of a map, the map will be restarted from scratch. The initial launch is defined as within the first thirty (30) seconds or before the first kill is made.
If a player disconnects after the game has started, the following rules apply:
If a player disconnects after kills have been made by either team or after the first 30 seconds, the team with disconnection issues can attempt to re-invite the player that disconnected but cannot leave the match and must continue playing with the current amount of players left or forfeit the round. If an entire team leaves before the end of the match then they will forfeit the map.
If both teams disagree over when the player disconnection took place, video proof must be provided that shows the scores and time at which the disconnection took place, as well as the players in the lobby.
