General
Awareness of Rules
To blame that you didn't know the rules doesn't work, and neither you can blame on that you don't understand them. If you don't, you should ask an administrator of the tournament or one of its leaders for more explanation.
There is no obligation to know the rules, but each member of the team got to follow them.
And if there is a transgression, you have to accept the consequences.
Therefore, its strongly recommended to know the rules.
Judgement/appraisal of Conflict
The words of an administrator or tournament leader is the law, they judge when there have been a transgression or not, and what the penalty is.
They give penalty's after the guidelines that you can fine in the rules, and their common sense.
Bad mouth and bad behaviour can also be punished.
If you think you have been treated unfair, you can contact the tournament leaders or administrators.
Unwritten Rules
Unwritten rules and loopholes may not be abused, common sense.
If you want something added, or an update in the rules you should contact an administrator in good time before the tournament starts.
Game Rules
All games are played 2v2, 3v3 or 5v5, depending on what tournament you are playing, with max rounds 15 (MR15).
MR15 means that you play 15 rounds until you switch team, either from CT to T, or contrary.
Before the game starts, there is a smoke round (read more about it under Oppose of Cheating).
After the smoke round, there is a knife round to settle what team you start in. And then you can play till the game is over.
Both teams got the responsibility to report the ending score to the administrators.
Knife Round
To settle what team you start in, you play a knife round.
The winner of the round choose team.
Heights are not allowed to use.
Maps
The maps that will be played are de_dust2, de_inferno, de_nuke, de_train and de_cpl_mill.
Overtime
The game can be draw, when the score 15-15 the game goes to overtime.
At the overtime, the max rounds are changed to 3 (MR3) and Mp_startmoney is changed to 10000.
The team that started to play as CT, should again play CT.
If the score is draw again, there is another extension.
Exchange of Players
Exchange is allowed, but only when the MR15 is over (when changing from CT>T, and T>CT).
You can also change player before an extension of the game starts.
Max changes are two players/team and /game.
If one member of the team cant continue, you can only change the player when you are allowed to.
Pauses
Each team have right to 10 minutes of pause in the game.
You can only pause between a round has ended and the freezetime isn't over.
Time
You should follow the time that is pointed out for the game.
If the game starts 1:00, you should be on the server around 5 minutes before the game starts to warm-up.
If there is missing members 10 minutes after the game started, the administrator can decide that the team have left walk over.
The opposite team, that got their members on the server can choose if they want to start playing the game or that the other team left walk over.
Oppose of Cheating
Nickname and Steamid
Players should use the nickname that they wrote when they registered for the tournament.
Small variations are allowed, as long as you clearly can see who the player is.
You should also use the steamid you have registered.
If you are playing on an internetcafé or LAN, you should contact the administrators in good time.
The administrators can deny players or teams to play.
Smoke Round
Before the game starts, the smoke round is to make sure every player is using 32 bit colour option and allowed models.
At the round, one player throw ONE smoke in an open area.
Each player should have scoreboard, net_graph 3, a player model and the smoke on the screenshot. If you stand in the smoke, it is invalid.
Demo Requirement
If there is no HLTV, all players have to record their own in-eye demo.
To record, write "record name".
Without the ", and name changed to the name you want.
Make it easy, so you can find it later.
Status
Write status in the console and take a screenshot, it is there for the steamid's.
Easily Available
Administrators can demand the teams to send the demos, screenshots if there is cheat suspecting.
10 minutes after the game, they cant.
The teams have the right to get 3 smokeprints and 3 demos from the other team.
