Rules and Regulations

Gameplay

• The following are grounds for immediate tournament disqualification:
  
  • Death evasion by /q
  • Non-visual game modifications (e.g. map edits)
  • Trainers or other cheating aids
• Ping must be below 400ms, and FPS must be between 20 and 60fps. The server will automatically kick participants who do not abide by this.
  
  • If you are kicked more than three times for high/jittery ping or more than twice for a too low/high FPS, you will forfeit the match.
• Rounds may be continued if a player times out or crashes.
• The following weapons are banned:
  
  • All melee weapons
  • Grenades, molotovs, tear gas and rocket launcher
  • Spaz
  • Minigun
  • Flamethrower
• Using an M4 or M60 in first-person mode is not allowed.

Organization

• Do not stop fighting until your opponent is dead or an admin tells you to stop.
  
  • Unless agreed to by both fighters, quitting in the middle of a round is a forfeit. Forfeits are an automatic win for all three sets, regardless of match progress.
  • Forfeiting a match more than once will result in disqualification.
• An admin must be present at all matches or the results are not valid.
• Players may choose their server, but any hindrances caused by network issues, location, or other players will not be considered grounds for a rematch.
• Failure to complete matches by any posted deadline will result in either a decision being made based on existing scores, or disqualification.
• Quitting the tournament with two or more matches played will result in all other scheduled matches becoming forfeits. Quitting the tournament with one match played will be handled at the admin team's discretion.
