♤ CHEATING/GENTLEMAN AGREEMENTS ♤

13. Teams can agree to custom rules using a "Gentlemen’s Agreement". An agreement can be made between two teams about banned items, maps, player skins, gamemodes etc.

14. Spectators are recommended as an anti-cheat measure. Each team may have up to two spectators, but they are OBLIGED to be on one of the World Cup discord voice channels during the match.

Note: If official World Cup streamer/moderator is present on spectator spot, numer of spectators per team is reduced to 1.

15. If one or more players disconnect during a match, teams are obliged to remake the map with the same score. Players are not allowed to change hands for the replayed game. For example: team A is leading 7-3 against team B. If teams want to remake, they start from 7-3 and the same timer.

16. If you notice that a player or team has broken the rules you are OBLIGED to inform the opposing team immediately in game chat. Otherwise the opponent team may not be punished.

17. All proven cheating and glitching (on purpose and giving advantage) may result in consequences chosen by the tournament administrator. Possibile penalties are:
- suspension for certain amount of matches
- disqualification of particular players
- disqualification of the whole team.

What counts as cheating:
- illegal software (aimbot, damage hack, wallhack, card refresh, macro, mods etc.)

- breaking gentlemen agreements
- using game glitches (using jetpack while cargo delivery, staying in bugged spots on purpose, ion nade glitching)
