Forfeit Wins & Loses

Match Process
Game Servers - all matches must be played on the assigned game server. The entire match must be played on the assigned server - you cannot play each half on a different server.
A match cannot end with a draw. A winner and a loser are to be set for each match.
Once a match goes live, it cannot be restarted, if a player disconnects during the pistol round, pause the match during the next freeze time.
All matches must be played to the end(where a winner and a loser have been found). A team leaving the League match before a winner has been found will forfeit the remaining rounds.
Coach - No coaches will be allowed in the Bahrain E-Sports League.

Exploits & Infractions
Dispute Resolutions - all disputes must be filed via a message to an admin within six hours of the conclusion of the match along with the demo, specific infraction, and the round in which the infraction occurred. Disputes will be resolved by Administrators and all decisions are final.
Exploit & Infraction Penalties - exploits and infractions will be dealt with on a case by case decision, but standard resolution for the below infractions include overturning the round in which the infraction occurred if the infraction had a direct impact on the outcome of that round in addition to the subsequent three rounds. At the admin's discretion, the player who committed the offense can be banned at their discretion (max of 2 weeks).
Flash Bang, Smoke Grenade, and Hand Grenade Bugs - it is illegal to use any flash bang, smoke grenade, or hand grenade bugs, regardless of intent. All servers will have the latest known version of fixed maps
Silent Bomb Plants - all bomb plants must be done in a position in which it can be heard by the opposing team
Illegal Bomb Plants - it is illegal to plant the bomb in a position that cannot be defused by the opposing team or in a position in which the bomb is floating and not touching the ground
Illegal Bomb Defuses - the bomb cannot be defused through any solid objects.
Illegal Bomb Defuses - it is illegal to intentionally distort your hit boxes with the use of an alias while defusing the bomb. Each dispute will be handled on a case by case basis, reviewing multiple aspects, including, but not limited to, the speed at which movement is made, the action of movement made, as well as the outcome of the exploiting action.
Map Exploits - Boosts that result in clipping are illegal. Clipping is when a player is either boosted through a solid layer, or when a player manipulates him/herself so that they can see over, under, and/or through any solid entity such as a wall or box.
If any player or team wants to use a new position which is unknown to anyone else or just known to a small part of the community, it’s strongly recommended to contact an admin to check if that position is allowed before using it in any official match. Players and teams have to consider that it takes time to check new positions and therefore they have to contact admin’s in a reasonable timeframe before an official match.

Cheating
If a team is found to have been using a ringer during a match, the match will be overturned, and the player will be banned for account sharing. At the admin's discretion, the leader of the team who had a ringer can be banned for a week.
If a player is found to be cheating and/or using illegal customization on any server, any matches played by the user for the team he/she is on at the time of the detection (not the time of the ban), in addition to any matches played for any other team after the time of the detection, will be overturned.
If a player/account is found to be ban evading, any matches on any team that he/she has played in the last 30 days will be overturned.
If you receive the following bans while playing, they will carry over to the league.
Account Sharing
Ban Evasion
Cheating
Karma Cleanup
Malicious Activity
Paypal Fraud
Unsportsmanlike Conduct

Server Crashes & Disconnects
Server Crash - If a server crashes, contact an Administrator.
Player Disconnect - if a player disconnects, ONLY the Captain (or a designated player if the Captain disconnects) of the disconnected team may pause the round during the freeze time of the next round. The match will remain paused for no more than five minutes, at which point the match will be un-paused and resumed by the designated player of the disconnected team. Teams are limited to 1 pause per each regulation period and 1 pause per each overtime set. A pause can last no longer than 5 minutes. If there is an issue reconnecting to the server or the server itself, the pausing team must contact an admin to assess the situation.

*Please note administrators have the option to add or change rules at their own discretion
