Unfair Practices Subject to Penalty
- Boosting (stepping on top of own team player) is allowed in play.
- The players are allowed to move silently by pressing the Duck key repeatedly. However, they may not bind duck to mousewheel. A player found using this method may be given a warning or lose by default at the referee's sole discretion.
- C4 must be installed at a viewable location. Installing C4 at a location where a boost is required is not allowed.
- Silent C4 installation is considered bug play. Such an offense may result in a warning or loss of all remaining TR rounds at the sole discretion of the board of referees.
- Throwing grenades over buildings in all maps are allowed.
- Any use of the flash bang bug will result in a warning at the minimum or loss by default for the offending team at the discretion of the referee.
- Use of personal model/skins (includes weapon skins)
- Use of personal map texture
- All cheat programs
- Use of map bugs in play (e.g. map swimming, auto aim, etc.)
- Use of unfair but available scripts (e.g. silentrun, attack+use, centerview script, norecoil script, etc.)
- HLTV Proxy or a Broadcast Partner Representative will join the game servers for Tournament Broadcast
- To test for HLTV flash bugs, players must follow the directions of the server master or referees.
- Config or Connection manipulation
- On Dust2 it is illegal to jump while on the ledge at short in order to spot long.
If disconnection occurs during a match
- If all the players cannot play due to an unintended, unforeseen accident such as server stoppage;
- Before the 3rd round starts: restart the match
- After the 3rd round starts: Disconnected player must re-connect to the server. The round is continued unpausing, and if the disconnected player cannot connect to the server, all players must wait during the freeze time after the round until the disconnected player connects to the server. At this time, the match may continue by unpausing. (Not a restart)
- If up to 3 of all players are unintentionally disconnected: The score for that round is discarded. The game is paused after the round during the freeze time, and all players wait until the disconnected players are connected to the server. When all players are connected, the match may continue by unpausing the game.
- In the case of intentional disconnection, the referee may decide to end the match with the offending team losing by forfeit.
- Protests can only be filed by the team leader (ie: a player that represents the team)
- If a player does not agree to any rules, he/she can express his/her protest to a referee before the completion of a match. Any intentional refusal to connect to the match server can result in a default loss for that team with the decision to be made at the sole discretion of the referee.
- If a rematch is decided by the head referee, the team that does not follow this decision will be subject to disqualification.
Player Eligibility and Rosters
- All players and their steam ids must be registered to the teams roster on http://mvscc.infinity-gaming.co.uk/
- Every team must have at least 3 uk residents playing or a default win will be awarded to the opponents.
- Rosters will be locked after the first group stage match, re-opened after the group stage and locked again after the first knockout match. Rosters and Steam Ids must not be edited during this time. A team found using a player who is not registered or an incorrect steam id will have the result defaulted to the opposition or disqualified from the tournament.
- Anything on a team or player profile considered offensive is liable to be banned, subject to a warning. If it is not changed after the warning, or if it is changed to something else offensive, you are at the admins discretion.
Player Conduct
- All players will act in a respectful and appropriate manner, abuse towards admins or other participants will not be tolerated.
