1.3 Emulators and Third-Party Devices:

The use of a PC emulator to compete in these tournaments is strictly prohibited and will result in a ban.

We do not support Emulators OR Third-Party Devices, such as a controller, or other input devices outside of the device they are playing on. Players need to take a screenshot of their pre-lobby before joining the private game. If a player disconnects in the private game lobby, the team will need to go back into the pre-lobby and take another screenshot.

Failing to submit proof of the home screen or pre-lobby when requested will result in the player/team forfeiting the match.

1.4 Grace Period

A participant must be in the game lobby with their opponent within 15 minutes after a match’s start time. Proof must be provided that there was an attempt to contact the missing opponent.

Teams are allowed to play one map shorthanded per match

1.5 Delays

Participants may not delay the start of a match without the approval of an admin. Participants may delay a match between games for up to five minutes.

For any forfeit claim, evidence is required to substantiate your claim. In order to support your forfeit/claim, you must provide irrefutable evidence. Proof via video or a screenshot will be required and may be uploaded on the match page or https://streamable.com/(video) or https://imgur.com/ (images) if the proof is too large to upload on the match discussion

1.6 Normal Boundaries

Players who move their character outside of the normal boundaries of a map may forfeit the game. Moving outside of the normal boundaries of a Map includes but is not limited to part of the Character’s body passing through what should be a non-permeable surface or object, and moving into any area from which your Character registers shots on an opponent who is not able to register shots on your Character.

1.7 Match Schedule

In a knockout tournament, participants that have not completed their matches before the scheduled start time of the next round of fixtures must contact an admin. Participants that do not attempt to contact an admin will have their fixtures forfeit once the 'Grace Period' of the following fixture expires.

1.8 Time Limit

Teams must report the match results within 10 minutes of its completion. Failure to report the match results or respond to admins may result in your team being forfeited. 

1.9 Double Forfeit

If a match is not played and neither team contacts the admin requesting the forfeit or win, both teams will be knocked out of the tournament.

1.10 Seeding

Participants will be seeded randomlly during the Qualifiers. 

1.11 Disconnections

If a Player disconnects within the first thirty (30) seconds and/or before the first kill, the game should be ended. All Players must leave the game and restart the game. If a Player disconnects after the first thirty seconds (30) and/or the first kill, the game must be continued and the disconnected Player should rejoin the game. If the Team with the disconnected Player leaves the lobby, their Team may forfeit the game in question. The Administration or Tournament Operator reserves the right to make the final decision in any disconnect situations.

1.12 Hosting

The host is the player that creates the custom game and ensures that the proper settings and maps are used. The host should set their party limit to match the number of players for the match. If the host incorrectly ends a game, their team may forfeit the game.
 
The higher seeded team must host the first game. The lower seeded team will host the second game. This rotates until a winner is found. Higher seed selects their faction/side for game 2. Lower seed picks sides for games 1 and 3.

1.13 Lag

In the event that lag occurs, the game should be completed. The player(s) that are experiencing lag should take video proof and provide it to an admin. If lag is occurring, it is recommended that multiple players provide proof of the lag. Leaving the game prematurely may result in a forfeit of the map. 

1.14 Report Match Score

Match results must be entered after all games/maps have been completed by going to the match page and clicking on "Enter Result" (only visible to team captains). Once a result is entered, the opposing team will have 5 minutes to respond to the result before it is automatically accepted.

1.15 Outside Players

Only eligible players on the two teams and Carry1st Africa Cup admins may be invited/join the match lobby. If an ineligible player joins a game, the game must be ended if the player affects the game and/or doesn't leave within 30 seconds of joining. If a player is found to have invited an ineligible player to a game, they will forfeit the game.

1.16 Team Killing

Deliberate and repeated team-killing or committing suicide on purpose to gain an advantage will result in a forfeit of the game. If a Team is accused of violating this rule, the accuser must provide valid video proof. Complete the Match and then report the outcome.

1.17 Team Switching

Team changing in-game is not allowed. If a Player joins the wrong Team upon launch, the Game will be restarted. Abuse of this rule may result in a forfeit of the game. If a Player changes Teams after the first kill, the offending Team will forfeit the game.

1.18 Game Altering Bugs

Game Altering Bugs. Bugs are defined as errors, flaws, or failures that produce an incorrect, unexpected, or unintended result during the course of gameplay. For the purposes of procedure in regards to the occurrence of Bugs during live gameplay, and at the discretion of the Administration or Tournament Operator, Bugs are separated into two categories: 

• Minor Bug: At the discretion of the Administration or Tournament Operator, a Minor Bug is one that does not significantly alter the outcome of a game and is, at worst, considered an inconvenience to Players. The occurrence of a Minor Bug would not result in the replay or remake of any game and Players should be instructed to play through the Minor Bug.
• Major Bug: At the discretion of the Administration or Tournament Operator, a Major Bug is one that critically or significantly alters the outcome of a game and severely hinders the performance of Teams and/or Players. The occurrence of a Major Bug would result in a restart of the match.
