1.2 During the tournament :

During a tournament, it is imperative to check your opponent's gamertag before the start of the match, if you start the game despite the presence of an opponent in violation on this point, you will no longer be able to claim the win of the match by contesting this issue afterwards.

Disconnection causes the forfeit to the player concerned. (For the final in BO3 it is considered a forfeit on the match in question only)
In case of disconnection due to the EA servers, the game will pick up where it stopped and by keeping the same score, players will therefore play the remaining time. Players must take a video clip at the end of the time remaining, in the case of a contestation.

PS: A disconnection due to EA servers will be validated only in the case where no points were awarded to two players.
