Rules:

Choice of side

A knife round will be played to determine the side. This is forced by the server. The winner of this knife round will choose the side by typing .stay or . switch in the chat.

Server Crash

If the server crashes before three rounds have been completed (in a half), the server must be restarted and the half’s score will be reset to 0-0.

If the server crashes after the third round has been completed, the half must be restarted with start money 2000 and the score will be counted from the last completed round. The start money is set to 2000 and the team that lost the last round kills itself using “kill” in the console. This round does not count. The half continues with the following round. The start money has to be set to 800 again.

Player Drop

If a player drops the server will be paused at the end of the current round (see rule Game pausing).

The waiting time for a dropped player is 15 minutes. If the player or a substitute rejoins the server and both teams are ready, the game can be resumed. In case the dropped player does not reconnect within 15 minutes and there should be no substitute available, the team must continue playing with one less player.

Warmup

To start the match all contestants have to type .ready in the chat.

Participants can choose to forfeit a match if they wish. Forfeiting will result in loss of the match and possible penalty points.
