Refereeing and Clock Use Matches will last a maximum of two hours and fifteen minutes (2:15h), and any participant may request the use of the clock either at the start of the match or at any point. Once one of the two players requests the clock, the remaining round time will be split between both coaches. If a coach runs out of time, they may only pick up their players and pass the turn. Referees will act as judges in case match times and start times are not respected, and may penalize the player with a penalty at their discretion. In case of a concession due to no-show, it will be considered a 3-0 win with 3 casualties for the opponent.
If a coach arrives 10 minutes after the start of the round, that coach will start with a TD against them. If they arrive after 20 minutes, it will be understood that they have conceded the match. Matches will end the moment the organization announces it; if this occurs during a play that could result in a TD, it must be resolved as quickly as possible, making only the strictly necessary movements and dice rolls. The organization will announce the time remaining in the round 30 minutes before its end. (if you think you may have time problems, we recommend using a stopwatch)
In case of a tie, the following criteria will apply:
