Cheating

1) binding movements like thrusts to other keys is outlawed;
2) hiding in glitches/bugged solid materials is illegal.
Demos
All players will be required to demo all maps. There is no valid excuse for not recording a demo of your game - if you don't know how to do it or yours is 'broken' then contact an admin or your captain. A player must hold on to their demos for the duration of the entire season, up until two weeks after their team has played their last game.
1. A team may request a maximum of 1 demo from the opposing team (all requests must be justified and approved by an admin not involved in the match).
2. An admin not participating in the match has the right to request as many demos as they want.
3. Cheating accusations will be reviewed and ruled on by an anti-cheat team.
4. Admins may request that a player uploads all demos for the entire duration of the season.
Match Punctuality
A team must have their entire team in the server and clicked in to be eligible to start the timer. Once they have done this, the opposing team has 10 minutes to click in before they forfeit the map.

1. A player may not spam a non-teamsay bind during a match. Players who do this will be warned to cease, and players who continue will be forfeited and/or banned.
2. Racism will not be tolerated. If a player makes racist remarks in-game, the player in question will be warned and then suspended for future incidents.
Rescheduling
1. Teams are allowed to reschedule their matches by agreement with opposing captains. A rescheduled match should be played before the next weekend (Sunday), that is during the next week.
2. After agreeing to reschedule a game, both teams must inform an admin and he will change it on the schedule. Both captains should do this for each time the match time changes.
3. Matches may be rescheduled to before or after their original date/time, however the latest that players can reschedule games for is prior to the commencement of the dev games of the last round of the group stage.
4. It goes without saying that you cannot reschedule a game so that it will potentially overlap with any of your other games, unless you have gained prior agreement for this from the captain of the team that may be kept waiting.
5. If a playoff match is rescheduled it must be played at a time such that it will not delay any further rounds of the playoffs, and must be agreed with the admins.
6. Rescheduling is solely down to the captains. Admins will not get involved and force reschedules upon any captain or team.
7. As an exception to the above rule, on occasion a match week falls on a weekend where a major event is taking place and it becomes apparent that a large number of players will miss the game week. Admins may offer all captains a free reschedule which does not require both captains to be in agreement to take place. Where ever possible admins will endeavor to inform all captains of this as soon as possible - however it may not always be possible to do so prior to a league starting due to unforeseen circumstances.

The only people allowed to spectate matches are PassionateGaming admins and members of the stream team. It goes without saying that if someone is spectating, they are not allowed to have any communications with the teams that are playing.
