CS2 admin team:
Communication during the LAN:
The communication during the LAN will be through Steam, Discord or at the Compo Desk.
2. Compo overview
2.1 Participants
Due to lack of time, we have a tight schedule. Therefore we can make the decision to force teams to only participate in 1 grand compo! We will contact the teams who are signed in for 2 grand compo’s at the moment and they will need to make a choice. When a team refuses, we will remove them from the competition to make room for other teams.

2.2 Team sheets
As teams may be required to compete on the stage, it is required that all teams remove any offensive material from their desktops. A rule violation by any player in a team may lead the tournament admins to sanction the entire team, even if the rest of the team was not aware of the violation.

2.3 Team names
The admins reserve the right to ban teams from the compo if they find teamnames too offensive or inappropriate.
Back to top
2.4 Team manager / coach
The team manager does not have any responsibilities. The team manager is eligible to play for his team in matches, providing he’s indicated as a “Player” on the team in the team sheet. The communication with the team will not go via the team manager, all communication will go via the team captain!
Spectators are not allowed on our servers. Only tournament admins may be in spectator mode during a match.
The only exception is: coaches are allowed to spectate a match using the coach's command, only if the tournament admin is notified, and thus to spectate their team only. They are obligated to use the “coach t” or “coach ct” command before the match start and aren’t allowed to join after a match has been started. If noticed that the coach is abusing this rule, the team will get punished for it (e.g. round loss, side loss or match loss).
During a match, the coach may only communicate with the players during freeze-time, warm up, half-time, or during one of the 4 timeouts.

2.5 Team captain
We consider the one who registered the team into the compo on the CFL website as captain!
The clan leader or team captain is responsible for his team and all the players in that team. It is recommended that the team captain is fluent in English or Dutch, as he will be required to communicate with the tournament admins.
The team captain must read and understand the rulebook.
The team captain is responsible for ensuring his team and players adhere to the rules.
Ignorance of the rules is not an excuse for rule violations.
The team captain may choose at any time to nominate another player in or manager of his team as team captain for any reason. Such nominations must be reported by the team captain, either in person or in writing, to the admins before the game starts.
All official communication between a competing team and the tournament admins must be conducted by the team captain.

2.6 Players
All players must read and understand the CS2 rulebook.
Any player in violation of a rule, will be sanctioned as described in this rulebook.
Each team must have five players on the match server at the match start time as indicated by the schedule, unless permission has been granted by the tournament admins to play with less than five players.
Only players registered for a team in the tournament may play for that team unless otherwise discussed with the tournament admin.
All players must play at their designated seats for all tournament games unless otherwise instructed by the tournament admins.
Players registered for a team in the tournament may not play for any other team in the same tournament.
Each player has to use their nickname that is similar to the nickname he/she has entered on their CFL account.
All players for a team must be clearly identifiable in-game with a uniform tag for that team and a separate, noticeably different nickname for each player.
Players may not significantly change their nickname during the tournament. Any nickname they use during the tournament must always obviously visibly correspond to their original nickname. You are not allowed to change your nickname in-game.
If an admin’s job is hindered because of wrong or difficult nicknames or clan tags, the team will get a warning. 3 warnings are equal to a forfeit in 1 match.
Player nicknames may not be offensive. Tournament admins reserve the right to reject any tag or nickname they deem inappropriate.
Make sure your steam account is linked with your CFL account corresponding to your nickname.
Players are strictly prohibited from using any other person’s steam account for any reason whatsoever during the CS2 competition.

2.7 Cheating
During CFL we won’t investigate cheaters from an external event. When we discover someone cheating during our LAN, that player and his team will be banned from the compo and the player will be also banned for the next CFL edition.
Furthermore we will investigate reports of players cheating during other tournaments until 2 weeks before the LAN. When a player is discovered cheating during another tournament/platform 12 months before the event occurs, then that player will not be allowed to play on that edition of CFL within the CS2 competition and the edition after that.
If one of the following rules apply, then that player will not be allowed to compete in our tournament:
Caught cheating within a tournament/platform 12 months before the start date of our event.
There needs to be enough evidence for that player, that he/she was cheating and the tournament admins will judge if the evidence is valid OR if he/she was caught cheating on the following platforms:
Discord: https://discord.gg/MbPY2ge
Teams are only allowed to use a uniform team name for their team.
Teams may not change their team name during the tournament.
Teams may not change their team in-game tag during the tournament, unless none was set.
Duplicating team names of other teams is not allowed.
Duplicating (exactly or approximately) the tags used by another team in the tournament is not permitted.
Team names are not allowed to be offensive.
Please make sure your team name is filled in on your CFL profile.

When a player is caught selling or buying cheats.
In any case the admin will have the final decision.

If a player shows the intention of coming to our tournament to cheat and we’re provided evidence of this.
Everyone from the community may send evidence to compo@CFL.lu, when they suspect someone participating at CFL of cheating.
All forms of cheating in matches are forbidden, and will result in an overall forfeit in the tournament. Possibilities for cheating in Counter-Strike2 are, for example; all kinds of multi-hacks, wallhack, aimbot, colored models, no-recoil, no-smoke, no-flash and sound changes.
All hardware or software that has an influence on the game in such a way that the essence of the game is affected are banned from this tournament. Any use of this kind of hardware will result in a disqualification of the tournament as it will be recognized as cheating.
