Players & GUID

  • Every team has to register their roster with GUIDs to the forum.

  • Players must have their GUID and be signed up for at least 24 hours before they can play (unless the opponent agrees).
  • It’s the responsibility of the teams to check the GUIDs before the match starts. The player with false GUID can’t play in the match.
  • If a sub has false GUID, since the game has already started and you are caught, the game will be forfeited for your team.
  • Unless the other team agrees, ringers cannot be played.
  • Players can switch teams but only if they haven’t played for the another team yet.
  • Max 1 player can be added per team after the deadline if they are not signed up for any other team.

Cheating and Abuse

  • There is a document that contains all the information of the bug usage and the trick jumps in each map, it is uploaded to the Official Facebook Group of the Team Captains.

Other

  • If both teams agree to bend the rules (only slightly) e.g. players allowed or start time, there must be proof otherwise in the case of a conflict, normal rules will be applied.
  • Teams have no right to kick an opponent unless requested by the other team.
  • Teams that leave the cup will have any games that they have played removed. (this also applies to teams with 2 no shows)

Group rankings are worked out by the following rules, in order of importance:

  1. Overall points
  2. Result of the matches between the tied clans.
  3. Overall round difference
  4. Total rounds won

In case if 3 teams have the same points at the end of the group stage:

  • The first team is the team with the best round difference
  • Then from the two remaining teams we check the results against each other
  • If it was a tie, then we check the overall round difference, then the total rounds won.
  • If everything is equal then they will play a 1 map match, the map will be banned.
