All players must read and understand ALL of the game rules before playing their first matches.We'll do our best to keep this section updated at all times, but in certain circumstances, this may not be possible. In the case of a discrepancy or circumstance not explicitly covered in the rules, decisions made by the Shadow Gaming staff will take precedence. Shadow Gaming reserves the right to make changes to any/all rules as deemed appropriate by Shadow Gaming at any time in an effort to maintain the spirit of fair play. Shadow Gaming reserves all rights to bar individuals from play should Shadow Gaming feel they are not conducive to a fun, fair, and respectful environment. Some of the matches will be shoutcasted on - https://www.twitch.tv/shadowgamingfps Registration/Eligibility All players and teams must be registered to the Battlefy event. To be considered eligible for competitive play, a player must possess ALL of the following: A Battlefy account A Steam account (see VAC Ban policy) A Discord account (used for communication) All of this information must be provided upon registration to the event. A team is only considered eligible if it possesses at least 8 players that satisfy the above criteria. VAC Ban / Game Ban Policy: Shadow Gaming permits any player with a singular VAC ban (singular means one VAC ban in total per person NOT per account) of over 2 years (730 days) to play in the Shadow Gaming events and tournaments. Shadow Gaming permits any player with a singular Game Ban (singular means one Game Ban in total per person NOT per account) of over 1 year (365 days) to play in Shadow Gaming events and tournaments. Any player caught cheating in another game will be barred from all Shadow Gaming competitive play. Any player found with more than one VAC ban/Game ban on a single account or across multiple accounts will be barred from Shadow Gaming play for an additive period of time correlated to how many VAC bans/Game Bans they have. For example, a player with 2 VAC bans is barred from playing in Shadow Gaming events for 4 years. A person with 1 VAC ban and 1 Game Ban would be barred from playing in Shadow Gaming events for 3 years. A player's VAC ban/Game ban is considered only at the START of an event. Should a player become eligible (VAC ban becomes over 2 years since applied or Game Ban becomes over 1 year since applied) mid event, mid season or mid tournament, that player will still be barred from the event but may join the next event, season, or tournament. Any player who is caught trying to evade the VAC ban/Game ban policy will receive an additional 1 year ban. General Match Process This section is for the general match process. For more details please read the sections below. Team’s will use the Battlefy to find out who their matches are against. Team captains will communicate via discord (direct messages between captains is fine) - https://discord.gg/NWg2ENU. Team captains will start the map ban process listed in the Format section below. Entente always attacks first. Explicit rules - No machine gun deployables allowed, Squad level is set to 100, turn off friendly fire penalty to avoid friendly suppression. Once the map(s) are chosen, the team who chose the map will host the server. In the event of an EU vs. NA game, please refer to the Map/Server Hosting process below. Screenshots must be taken for each half . Captains must upload their screenshots onto Battlefy under the appropriate match results. Format Single-elimination bracket, 8v8 (no bots). All matches except the finals are Best of 1 Map. Finals will be a Best of 3 Maps. Map Pool: Aisne Picardie Argonne Artois Vosges Map Ban Process: There will be a map pool of 5 maps. From this pool, teams will take turns banning until the first map is picked. The team who does not pick the map will determine starting sides (Entente or Central) A coin toss between both teams will decide who bans first out of the 5 map pool. The winner of the coin toss can choose to ban first or second. The team that did not choose the map gets to choose the side they start on. Entente always attacks first (use ‘/restart entente’ in console when ready to make the match live). Both teams should declare they are ready before going live on restart (LOR). Best of 1 (BO1) Pick Method - Ban Ban Ban Ban Pick Best of 3 (BO3) Pick Method - Pick Pick Ban Ban Pick Whichever team picks the map does NOT get to choose starting sides. The team that did not choose the map chooses the starting side. Map/Server Hosting: For NA vs. NA: The team that picked the map hosts the server. For EU vs. EU: The team that picked the map hosts the server. For EU vs. NA: Team’s will swap hosts at half. The team who picked the map initially will be the host for the first half. At half time, the other team will host the server. We know that swapping hosts at half time can be annoying but we feel it is the easiest way to maintain competitive fairness with ping differences between Europe and North America. Server Format: Default map times are used Mode = Frontlines 8v8 - No Bots Deployable machine guns are not allowed Entente attacks first - Server command is /restart e Friendly fire is turned off (should be off by default) - Server command is /friendlyfire off Friend fire penalty is off - Server command is /friendlyfirepenalty off Squad level should be set to 100 - Server command is /setsquadlevel 100 Results and Score Reporting Both of the teams are required to take screenshots of the end screen from each half of the match/map. This should clearly show all the players involved and whether or not the team won or lost the game. This screenshot MUST be posted along with the score in the Shadow Gaming discord in the match scores channel. Team captains MUST also report scores on the Battlefy event page. Rosters and Substitutions Matches are 8v8. A team may have up to 2 players on the bench as alternates or substitutions for a maximum roster size of 10. If a team is met with the situation of having less than 8 eligible players from their roster available to play in a given match, there are options. First, a team must have at least 7 eligible players on THEIR roster in game to play the match. A team has the option of playing with 7 if they choose to play a player down. Substitutions may occur after a round is complete, not in the middle of a round - this includes a disconnect. One substitution may be performed per half. A substitution is counted for ANY reason one player leaves and another joins. Sportsmanship All members are required to uphold and observe a universal level of sportsmanship. Any unsportsmanlike action which can include, but is not limited to racism, profanity, rude/vulgar acts, abusive remarks, and disrespect of an official are not tolerated. Users who engage in unsportsmanlike conduct are subject to suspension, match forfeits, or any other punishment that Shadow Gaming deems necessary. No Shows If the opposing team is not present 15 minutes after the hosting team has created the match in game as well as invited the opposing team, and the previous match of the opposing team has been finished for at least 10 minutes, you have the right to request a default win from the Shadow Gaming staff. Please try and be accommodating and sportsmanlike. A repeat no show offence, unless due to an emergency or unforeseen circumstance, could result in disqualification from the current event. Ties In the event of a tie, total kills for each team will be the deciding factor. The team with the most kills wins. Match Aborts If a team aborts a match before it is finished, a win may be granted to the remaining team if the match advanced to a point where the end result can be determined. If your opponent should deliberately leave the match, you MUST report this to the Shadow Gaming staff. Shadow Gaming will rule on the situation and grant a win or forfeit as required. Captains can report their team's score.
