Connection Issues

In principle, a match that gets disconnected is treated as invalid.
However, if the outcome is clearly decided (e.g., a lethal amount of garbage is about to fall with no counter possible), that game may be counted as valid.
In cases where the disconnect occurs at different times on each player’s screen (e.g., one disconnects during the start of a chain, the other at the end), priority is given to the earlier point of disconnection.
*For matches with spectators in A-Class and above, the match is judged based on the spectator's screen.
*If a spectator disconnects before the match concludes in A-Class and the match ends without the spectator's stop signal, it may still be counted as valid if both players agree.
*For Master Class and above, all rulings are based on the spectator’s screen.

If players are unable to connect at all, please try the following steps:
1. Close Puyo Puyo Champions on your Switch and reopen it (press the X button on the Switch home screen to close the game).
2. Restart your router.

If you still cannot connect, consider rescheduling or consult with the organizers.

Tardiness

- If a player does not show up within 10 minutes, the match is canceled for the day. Please reschedule.
- If the late player contacts their opponent and the opponent agrees, the match can proceed even if the delay exceeds 10 minutes.
- The on-time player has full discretion. It’s completely fine to say “No match today.”
- Two unexcused late arrivals will result in disqualification.
- Even with notice, three instances of tardiness will also result in disqualification.
*Please remember that both players have arranged their schedules to make time for the match.
*Apologies to those who were kept waiting, but awarding a win by default may impact the league standings. If possible, reschedule and play the match.

Misconduct

- If we confirm excessive or inappropriate behavior on social media, trolling, disruptive conduct in matches, or stalking/harassment (depending on severity), the player will be banned from the Oiu League entirely.
*The decision to ban will be made by the league organizer, Piponeer.
*If you’ve caused trouble in the past or feel you’ve behaved inappropriately, please be careful this time.
*For younger players (and adults, too): remember that what you post on social media is seen by many people. Avoid making others uncomfortable.
