I can’t remember where, but I remember a dev stating that Switching in pregame/during the game is an auto forfeit. could have been in the patch notes a while back or that PvP news blogpost. I guess since it counted that the system isnt in place.

Also if one player disconnects for a minute(?), that the game is also a forfeit, but the match result doesn’t change your leaderboard score (No -/+).

The rules are not clear. Really confusing

My understanding is that there is a 30 second (cumulative) grace period for disconnecting players to reconnect without being given a forced loss. During this 30 second grace period, you can swap characters and come back on a different class without punishment.

I think its more like a minute. It is not clearly outlined anywhere officially in a patch note or website but you could probably find one of the pvp devs posts in this forum if you did a lot of digging that says what it is but that is the only place you will find it.
