War Rules

During a war

After a match, one player must post the result and the other one must confirm it. (Just in case, be sure to take screenshots when the duel ends.)
If you or your opponent has to go between the duels of a match that is already in progress, neither player may challenge anyone else until the match is completed.
After the war starts, the rosters cannot be edited without a mutual agreement.

Activity

At least one match needs to be played every 5 days for your war to be considered "active".
If a Team is stalling, a Judge will look over the war and ensure that those situations don't affect the war result.
A deadline can and will be extended only if both Teams are still active enough to finish the war in a short time.
If during a war the Official Konami Banlist is changed, the war will continue using the Banlist it started with. (A Judge will define any necessary proxies.)

Disputes

If you have a dispute with a player you are warring, you should always attempt to resolve it with the other player first:
- If it is a ruling dispute, look up the ruling and show your opponent what you find.
- If it is a gameplay dispute, remain calm and try to explain the situation to your opponent.
If the situation cannot be resolved between you and your opponent, you may contact a Judge. Please be patient when waiting, and explain the situation carefully.
- If you are caught lying to a Judge or misrepresenting the facts, you can and will be punished.
- If you feel you received a biased or incorrect ruling from a Judge and have solid arguments, contact an Administrator.
Players and Judges must follow the KDE OFFICIAL TOURNAMENT DOCUMENTS found here.

Disconnections

If someone leaves a duel on purpose, he'll get a game loss (this is not the same as an involuntary disconnection).
During a duel, if there is a lag or disconnection problem, both players must take screenshots to show what their cards are (including graves/RFG). Based on the screenshots, a decision will be made according to the following guidelines:
If a player was about to lose or was in a lockdown or had a considerable disadvantage, his opponent wins.
If the duel was even, it will be a reduel.
If a player had some minor disadvantage but wouldn't lose yet, a special reduel might be made.

* A special reduel consists on a reduel with a fixed starting LP and/or card count for both players. The idea is to emulate the situation in which the previous duel was.
