Behavior Rules



§ 1 Maturity and Respect

(1) Players should respect both the letter and the spirit of the rules. The responsibility for ensuring that this happens lies not with one individual - it involves captains, players and referees. It is through discipline, control and mutual respect that the Spirit of the Game flourishes and these are the qualities which forge the fellowship and sense of fair play essential to the Game’s ongoing success and survival.
(2) In order to maintain a serious and professional environment players must be respectful and polite towards their opponents. If a player shows a poor attitude and displays rudeness or immaturity he or she will be punished by the tournament administration. The range of punishments reaches from a warning to a ban from of the tournament, depending on the weight of the crime.
(3) Any team that uses, incites or benefits from disruption to the matches, practice sessions or organisation of other teams will face disciplinary action at the adminitrations discretion, up to and including disqualification from the tournament.
(4) Any team knowingly helping players to bypass sanctions imposed by the administration will be removed from the tournament.

§ 2 Cheating

(1) It is strictly prohibited to modify the game files or implement modifications, e.g. aimbots or autoblock. Every player that is found to have modified files or using game modifications will face disciplinary action at the administrations discretion, up to and including a ban from the tournament.
(2) It is strictly prohibited to enter an unintended area of the map (glitching). Any player that is shown to have been glitching during a tournament match will be banned from the tournament. This includes but is not limited to the list of known glitches in Appendix C.
(3) If a player is found to have broken any of the rules during a match and the admins determine that a significant* advantage was gained, that player's team will forfeit the relevant rounds. (*'significant' in the technical sense of 'potentially possible to measure')


Tournament Rules

§ 3 Tournament Format

1) The tournament will be split into a group stage and a knockout stage.

(1.1) The group stage will see all seeded teams from the tournament split into different groups. Among each group, each team will have to play every other team, once. Only two teams from each group will advance into knockout stage.
(2) The groups will be determined by the administration of the tournament.
(3) To determine the final rankings within the groups, the following priorities will be taken into consideration:
Points (3 per win, 1 per draw, 0 per loss).
Head to head result in case of a draw with points (Would two teams be on the same amount of points at the end of the group stage, the winner of their confrontation gets the higher seed).
The highest number of wins in case of a draw on points and tie on head to head.
The highest round difference in case of a draw on points, wins and a tie on a head to head.
The highest quantity of rounds won in case of a draw in all previous cases.
In case all previous priorities end up in a round or are invalid to determine who takes the spot, the two teams will play 1 map randomized before knockout's stage pick night, the winner will take the spot.

4) The knockout stage will see the remaining eight teams placed into a single-elimination bracket, where the quarterfinals, semifinals and final will have to be played. The winner of this phase will be determined as the winner of the tournament.

§ 4 Scheduling

(1) Matches should be scheduled by posting in the fixtures thread before 19:00 BST, Wednesday of each week.
(2) If a team cannot contact their opponent, that team should post at least two dates and times for their match in the appropriate thread before Tuesday 23:59 BST. If the teams have not agreed a match time before the scheduling deadline, the admins will post a time of their choosing.
(3) Teams may subsequently agree a non default time by posting in the fixtures thread.
(4) If the two teams agree, matches can be played at any day & time before the match deadline. If a match is not played by the deadline and neither team posted, the result will be a 0-0 loss for both teams.
(5) Each week ends at midnight BST on Sunday.

§ 5 Maps & Factions

(1) Maps and factions will be determined in advance throughout the tournament except for the finals using a random number generator.
(2) For the finals/promotion matches, teams will determine the maps and the factions during a pick event. Each team in the finals will be designated as Team A and Team B. Team A is assigned: 1 and Team B is assigned: 2. At the begining of picking and ban event, random number generator will be used to determine the winner of the order. The winner will also decide what map will be first played on, after which they will then pick their faction. (They have 5 minutes to discuss) After the first team has selected their faction, the team that lost the in random number generatior will be allowed to select which faction they would like to play in response. (They also have 5 minutes to discuss) At the end of this game, the factions will be swapped and another game will be played on the same map. After the map has been played on twice and both teams have played both factions, the team that initially lost in the random number generator will select a new map and their faction of choice, and the team who initially won in the random number generator will then be able to select their faction in response.
Once the first team selects a map, that same map cannot be selected for the second game.
Once your team selects a faction during the first pick, your team cannot select that faction again against the same team during the picking.
