Rules

Match ProceduresMatch Breaks – Teams will have at least 10 minutes between matches and 5 minutes between maps. The tournament administration will communicate the exact times. There are no breaks at half times.Number of Players – All matches have to be played with five players per team (5vs5). Other constellations are not allowed. If a team fails to show up with enough players, the match will count as a no-show.Change of Players – Only players that are part of the team can be substituted. The opposing team and tournament administration have to be informed beforehand.Change procedure – Lineup changes are only allowed in between maps. Therefore, the player will not receive additional time to set up compared to the time it would have taken with the original player.Match Interruptions – If a match is interrupted for reasons beyond the control of the participants (e.g., server or player crash), the tournament administration will restore the round using the CSGO’s match medic, but in some scenarios, may decide to replay the whole match.Players are expected to type “not live” in in-game chat and make it known that they have an issue as soon as it arises. This will be a reference point when deciding the outcome.If the issue occurs during the first minute of the round, the round will be restored before any damage has occurred and the opponent or referee has been immediately notified.If the issue occurs during a round and after the damage has been made and the outcome of the round can still be determined (e.g. a single player has dropped but others remain), then the round will not be replayed or restored. Instead, the round will continue to be played and will count. Notable exceptions can be made if the damage dealt was ruled minor, e.g., accidental teammate damage dealt at the start of the round or damage dealt to the opposing side by the team affected by the crash.If the issue takes place during the round, after the damage has occurred and the outcome of the round cannot be determined (e.g., due to server crash), the match will be restored to the beginning of the round.If the issue takes place during the round after damage has occurred, and the outcome of the round is obvious (e.g., one team is saving with 10 seconds remaining). Still, it cannot be continued due to, for example, a server crash, and then the round can be awarded.The matches will not be stopped, and rounds will not be restored or replayed in cases where it is a participant’s fault (e.g., mis-buying a weapon).Use of Bugs and GlitchesThe intentional use of any bugs, glitches, or errors in the game is forbidden. It is up to the admin’s discretion whether or not the use of said bugs affected the match, whether or not he will award rounds or the game to the opposing team, or force a rematch. The usage of the following bugs is strictly forbidden. If any bug is used which is not listed here, it is up to the admin’s discretion whether or not a punishment is necessary.Moving through clipped areas where the movement is not intended by the map’s design is strictly forbidden (any walls, ceilings, floors, etc.)Standing on top of teammates is generally allowed. However, it is only forbidden when such actions will enable the player to peek over, under, and through a solid object (e.g., wall, box, ceiling) that should not be allowed according to map design.Pixel walking is forbidden. A player will be considered pixel walking if they sit or stand on invisible pixels on the map, where there is no visible edge.It is recommended to check with tournament administration whether or not a specific bug or glitch is considered illegal.The following bugs are explicitly allowed:For example, defusing the bomb through walls and items, etc.So-called “surfing” on tubesWhen cheating is discovered, the player will be banned for 1 year from all events online and live.MultihacksWallhackAimbotColored ModelsNo-RecoilNo-Flash and Sound changes.These are only examples.
