• Players may only play for one team of his division.

• Players must not use an extremely long clan tag.

• Players must use the name listed on the teams roster page.

• Players must record demos and submit them if requested.

• A team can play with a minimum of 5 players (I.E. 5v6).

• Your team does not have the right to refuse match casting/streaming*. If a caster is available and you agreed beforehand, casters can jump in your comms. No Discord voice channel will be enforced to you.

• Casters who jump in to an on-going match, must have their mic muted beforehand and must avoid disturbing the team at all costs. Casters who do not follow this rule can be reported and then potentially removed.

• Players are allowed to stream their own comms and POV.

• Local teamspeak server is to be used for all games to allow ease of casting joining a channel, channels will be provided by the admin team.

• All games should be played on the official LAN servers provided by admins.

• If you have a problem with the assigned server for your match, please contact an admin. 

• If the admins decide you have purposely crashed the server this will result in the current stopwatch round being forfeited.

• If there is a legitimate server crash, restart the current stopwatch half as needed.

• If a player crashes, teams can use their two pauses until the player returns (If a player substitutes in or the crashed player returns they need to /kill when rejoining)

• Weapon boosting is forbidden. However, accidental/incidental boosting does occur and it is legal. However, if a team feels that an "accidental boost" was intentional, they may contact the admins who will review the case.

• On mp_village, the documents ARE NOT allowed to be passed on through the gate located near allied bridge/spawn. Doing so results in a forfeit of the round.

• One panzer per team at one time. Player who spawns with a panzer is the only one who can shoot the panzer. No panzer swapping is allowed.

• On mp_beach, teleporting through the floor/sinking into the ground near the basement barracks is ILLEGAL. Using this tactic will result in an immediate round loss.

• Document duplication glitch: In the rare event that the documents become duplicated on any map, you are NOT allowed to transmit the fake documents to complete the round. Doing so will result in an immediate round loss. Utilizing a pause as soon as this happens to straighten out the situation is highly recommended.

• If your team has a question about the legality of a possible tactic or exploit, contact an admin as soon as possible to avoid being penalized. If a player/team is found guilty of using an exploit that gained an obvious advantage, "It wasn't explicitly stated as being an exploit in the rules", "I/We didn't know," and "Everybody else is doing it," are NOT valid excuses. Spending an inordinate amount of time searching for the next undocumented exploit that gains your team an advantage in a match will almost certainly result in a penalty/forfeited round.

• The usage of any external applications or devices is strictly forbidden (external mouse button controls are allowed). Players caught using one of these will result in a ban and possible team disqualification.

• Use of monitor provided crosshairs is prohibited

• The tournament will be played on the official "Road to Ghent 2022 config"*

* Name of the config to be defined by admin team
