Scheduled match times represent the time of the actual match start, not the time that a competitor must report to the tournament area. Competitors must report to the tournament area at least 10 minutes before the scheduled time. Competitors will be allowed to report to the tournament area and begin client setup as early as conditions allow.

Competitors may not leave the tournament area at any time.
Upon match completion, competitors should promptly report their win/loss to the Tournament Director.
If a tournament server, client or network crash at any time during a match, the game will be restarted regardless of the time of the crash. If any other problem occurs - If any intentional hardware reset and problem occurs, the referee may decide to end the match with the offending player losing by forfeit. If any other problem occurs: Rematch if the two teams conclude an agreement to have a rematch. Two warnings constitute being disqualified from the tournament.
6) Conduct - Competitor
Good sportsmanship is conduct and attitude considered as befitting all participants, including fair play, courtesy, striving spirit, and grace in losing. This is a gaming community and as such, good sportsmanship is necessary. Competitors will conduct themselves in a reasonable manner, maintaining a friendly and polite demeanor to other competitors, tournament officials and to other participants of the event.
Any Player competing in an un sportsmanlike manner or in a manner that is not in compliance with these rules may be immediately disqualified from the Tournament. Un sportsmanlike conduct includes, but is not limited to, the following violations:

PERMITTED BY LAW.
7) Cheating
To cheat is to act dishonestly to gain an advantage. In these rules, exploitation of game bugs is defined as un-sportsmanlike conduct. Cheats are devious or malicious acts, done outside of game play to unfairly influence the outcome of the match. Examples of this are ping flooding an opponent or server, altering match server settings outside of the agreed upon parameters, or in any way altering the gaming situation as to affect an unfair advantage by direct means. Players that are caught cheating will be awarded a loss and removed from the tournament. A Tournament Official has the right to disqualify and dismiss any registered player from the tournament, at his or her discretion, at any stage of the tournament, for any reason, with no prior warning to the player.
Any tampering with console hardware or software, including but not limited to intentional crashing of software and illegal modification of hardware or software configurations will result in immediate disqualification.
Any action in violation of the Player Conduct rules as witnessed by a Tournament Official, may result in a warning. Once a warning has been issued, the next violation will result in disqualification of the player.
Any competitor or team attempting to use ANY exploit in a map shall be immediately disqualified and may be removed from the event. If you have a question regarding a particular tactic, ask a tournament official prior to the match. Any competitor or team accidentally utilizing ANY exploit or bug in a map or game will forfeit that half. Players are responsible for their actions in regards to known map or game bugs/exploits.
The Tournament Director reserves the right to cancel or modify the tournament rules if fraud, technical failures or any other factor beyond reasonable control, impairs the integrity of the tournament.
Any protests or disagreements with tournament rulings must be made directly to the Tournament Director in a reasonable manner at the time of the incident, at which time a prompt decision will be made. Disputes must be filed before leaving the tournament area or before starting the next half. The tournament director’s decisions is final.
8) Protest
A player may file a protest of the results or report possible conduct violations to the Tournament Director. When filing a protest it is the dissenting players’ responsibility to provide as much evidence for the administrators as possible. If you suspect someone is violating the tournament rules in the middle of a match please report this to us immediately. Submitting a protest after a match lessens the likely hood of it being looked into and taken seriously.
