LVL UP EXPO

Fragadelphia, founded in 2014 by CS:GO players and fans, is a grassroots esports tournament series centered on Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. Featuring prize pools, pro and amateur teams, and a relaxed, community-focused atmosphere, it’s one of North America’s largest and most popular CS:GO events.

CS:GO

Overview

Rule Inheritance

These rules are based off of and should inherit from the ESEA CS2 Official Rules which can be found at HERE. The rules outlined in this document are only additions, enhancements, or modifications to rules outlined in the ESEA Official Rules.

Rule Modifications

Rules may be changed leading up to the event at the discretion of appointed tournament officials and/or Fragadelphia. Players are responsible for keeping up-to-date with the latest rules and at no point are tournament officials or Fragadelphia responsible for announcing or notifying players of rule changes.
In the event a rule modification needs to occur after matches have begun, players will be notified during the event by tournament admins to the best of their ability.

Introduction

All players are expected to understand and follow the rules outlined in this document and those inherited. In the event of a disagreement or discrepancy in the rules, tournament officials will make the final ruling on a case-by-case basis. Furthermore, all players are expected to complete and sign a Player Waiver (provided in a separate document) to be handed in on the day of the event.

Map Pool

The map pool for the event will be as follows:

de_vertigo
de_inferno
de_mirage
de_nuke
de_overpass
de_ancient
de_anubis

Banned Cosmetics

All player skins are banned, players must use default player model skins.
Weapon skins are allowed
Gloves are allowed

Fairness

Tournament officials will do everything within their power to keep the tournament fair for all participating teams. The tournament format is designed to prevent coin toss scenarios and to provide predictable seeding into the bracket stage.

Sportsmanship

Any hostile actions, including those physical and/or verbal, during the event are grounds for disqualification and removal of a player or team.

Team and Player Names

In the desire to keep demo content and broadcasts respectful, players or teams may be required to change their in-game name if it is found offensive or inappropriate.

Team Captains

The player who paid for and reserved a spot in the tournament through official channels is considered the Team Captain unless otherwise expressed to tournament officials by said player. The Team Captain will be responsible for any map bans and picks during the event.

Game Client

During the event no third-party clients are to be used unless otherwise instructed by tournament officials.

Spectators and Interference

At no point during match play may players or spectators standing near players currently in an official match interfere with the match for any reason.

Matches and Scheduling

It is critical that all scheduled matches are started promptly in order for the event to complete on time. Teams must be present 30 minutes before their scheduled match time. Teams that fail to start their match within 15 minutes of their scheduled match time will forfeit the map. Teams with four or five players may start a match. In a Best of 3, each map is allotted 45 minutes: if a team forfeits their first map, the 2nd map must start within 60 minutes of the scheduled Bo3 start time.

Overtime consists of two (2) three-round halves. Players will start each overtime half with $16,000. A game will end if a Team reaches four-round wins in the same overtime.

During a series (Best of 3, Best of 5, etc.) players will be given a five minute break between maps.

Schedule Conflicts

In the event of unexpected delays caused by the venue, tournament schedule, or another non-team entity, schedules may change. In no scenario will tournament officials move a scheduled match to be earlier than previously announced unless both Team Captains agree with the arrangement.

Absent Players and Substitutions

Teams must have at least four players to start a map. Failure to produce four players within fifteen minutes of the scheduled match time will result in a forfeit of the map.
Players may be substituted once per team, per day. Any substitutes must provide a signed Player Waiver before being allowed to compete. Players may not play for two teams in any capacity.
Players who are found to be consistently disruptful to the flow of tournament play, causing delays, and/or hindering tournament progress will be subject to disqualification.

Timeouts

Each team will be allowed four tactical timeout per map that is to not exceed thirty seconds. Tactical timeouts do not carry over across each half or across maps or matches. Teams may pause in the event of technical issues, player disconnects, etc.
Abuse of the pause system may result in round, map, or series forfeiture at the discretion of a tournament official.
Pauses will be executed upon the next available freeze time unless the pause was done by a tournament official.

Settings and Configurations

Computer Configurations

In the event that the host supplies computers for players to use, said computers are provided as-is. While players may change minimal configuration settings to meet desired tastes (mouse sensitivity, monitor resolution, etc), any player found attempting to alter the system or hardware outside of user preferences (BIOS, CPU, GPU, Memory, Overclocking, Registry, Game Files etc.) is subject to disqualification without warning.

Player Configurations

Players are allowed to use custom configuration files (including autoexec). At any point in time, admins may check a player's configurations for any violation against the rules.

Jump/Throw Binds

For this event, jump/throw binds and aliases will be allowed.

Match Medic

In the event of a power outage or equipment failure caused by the host, Match Medic may be used to restore the game's start to the round immediately after the last completed round.
Availability of Match Medic cannot be guaranteed. In the event a round backup is unavailable, it remains at the Tournament Official’s discretion on how to proceed.

Prizes

The prize money will be given to each player individually unless arrangements are made otherwise. Players will be required to sign a W-9 Tax Form or W-8BEN before receiving any prize distribution.

For Schools/University

The prize money will be sent to each school to be redistributed to the players. The prizes are to be split evenly among the people who played in the respective semifinals and finals matches.
