• The team that picked Axis/ Allies must also declare factions first in the first game. This team must again declare their factions first in the second game.

Bugsplats:

If there is a bugsplat within 7 minutes, the game will be replayed. Unless, something along these lines occur:
player 1 "bugsplats" after 5 min after losing whole his army except one pioneer. In such case or similar, the referees will make a decision. Should there be a bugsplat after 7 minutes, then one of following things happen.
If both teams agree, the game will be replayed. If not and if there is a clear winner according to the referees, that team will be given the win.
In case there isn't a clear winner, the referees again make a decision. However.
The player that bug splatted has to screenshot the crash with windows time/date showing! If this doesn't happen within 5 minutes, the referees are allowed to give the win to the opposing team.
