• All exec, vstr, cmdcur commands are not allowed.

• Using the scrollwheel to shoot is illegal. This includes both binding +attack to your scrollwheel as well as scrolling very fast and then holding mouse1, which can be done with certain mice.

• This also includes binds to turn on certain things by using a bug exploit. Depending on the bind, the player can receive a ban for bug abuse.
• Any game modification understood as changing any files of the game (e.g. weapon or model skins, deleting ambientsounds) is forbidden.
• Using any third-party software (e.g. nVidia Control Panel or RivaTuner) to tweak graphics settings to give you an advantage (for example Ambient Occlusion) is NOT allowed and will result in a permanent ban.
• Any player caught cheating by demo or anticheat will receive a permanent ban. We have a zero-tolerance policy.
• The FPS Challenge Anticheat is mandatory for all matches.
  • If a player did not use the anticheat, the team gets a forfeit loss.
  • If the anticheat crashed or did not work as intended, it will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis and the decision is up to the admins.
• If the anticheat catches a player using macros via drivers or by config such as (but not limited to) weapnext, zoomscripts, fastshootscripts etc., the team receives a forfeit loss and the player will be banned as follows:
  • 1st offence: 1 week ban
  • 2nd offence: 1 month ban
  • 3rd offence: 3 month ban
  • 4th offence: 1 year ban
  • 5th offence: Permanent ban

If a player plays multiple matches but only gets caught in 1 match, only that match result will be overturned. So if a player did not trigger any violations in a match, that match will not be overturned.

Clarification: Having scripts or illegal binds in your config at any time is considered illegal. Obviously, things such as scripts for moviemaking are legal. Anything related to gameplay is not, even if it hasn't been bound to a key.

10. ABUSE

• A warning or ban will be given to any player found to be abusing another team/player. Multiple warnings may result in a ban.
• Abuse against an admin in-game, dispute chat, private message, or anywhere else will not be tolerated and may result in an instant ban.

11. DISPUTES, DEMOS AND SCREENSHOTS

• Teams who wish to open a dispute for a breach of any of the above rules may do so by clicking the dispute button and entering a clear description. The case will then be handled by an admin. Do not PM an admin about this yourself.
• All matches played need to be recorded and demos should be kept until 48 hours after the match was played. Should a dispute be opened, demos should be kept until 48 hours after the dispute is solved. Failing to follow these rules will lead to a direct forfeit loss for the team.
• Teams have the right to request 5 demos from their opponents if they suspect foul play. If a demo is missing more than 3 rounds, then a default win will be awarded to the opposing team.
• Teams/players must request a demo by writing it in the MATCH CHAT – a valid reason must be supplied. Do not open a dispute unless 24 hours have passed and no demo has been uploaded.
• Teams have 24 hours to ask for demos. The other team has 24 hours to provide the requested demos. A valid reason must be supplied (e.g., "we suspect player X of using a wallhack"). A demo request is not valid without a good reason.
• If a demo is not uploaded after 24 hours, you may contact an admin via Discord and explain that a demo has not been uploaded.
• A demo upload may take longer than 24 hours; this can be decided by an admin (exceptions include holidays/inability to reach PC). It will be discussed with an admin and a new time limit will be set.
• Players have 48 hours to make timestamps which will be reviewed by the demo crew immediately.
• Timestamps must be in the following format:
  

  Harbor:
  2-2 @ 1:30 - traces through the wall for 3 seconds
  2-3 @ 0:43 - possible aim assist - his aim isn't on the player but still lands the kill
  5-6 @ 0:22 – aims towards a player through the wall
  etc.

If you want admins to check the anticheat screenshots of a match, please open a dispute and tell admins which player(s) you suspect of cheating.
