-Players are not allowed to stop a Game in progress- Stopping a Game in progress will result in the forfeit of the round on the part of the person stopping the game.

-The "only time" a match is allowed to stop is when unexpected lag happens during the middle of the match is due to ONLINE ISSUES(eg horrible Latency) where players have to choice to reset PS4's to fix the issue. If it happens again it can result to that player losing the match.

-In the event of an "equipment failure", they player has the option to stop the Game in progress to obtain a replacement.
