Match scheduling and match rules

Spectators and admins Aside from authorized casters and admins, no spectators whatsoever will be allowed in the server during matches. Pauses You are not allowed to pause the game whilst a survivor is being revived,

this will drop the incapped survivor back to the ground which would force the survivors to pick him up again.

The penalty for abuse of the pause function will typically be whichever is greater between:

a zero score for the round for the offending team, or an adjustment of the score of the offended team equivalent to full map distance (with health bonus at the time of the offense).

Screenshots and demos At the start of every new campaing in a match each survivor must take a screenshot and upload it, the screenshots can be deleted after the match but this is to ensure no one is cheating, also if someone crashes and they rejoin if the opposing team demand a screenshot to be taken you must screenshot and immediatley and upload.

Ladder Blocking If an infected team blocks the ladder in an attempt to stop the survivors from rescuing a team member or to delay health bonus(if bleeding out) the infected team will be punished. This means you cannot block a ladder if a survivor is climbing up it. SIMPLE. The penalty for doing this will be either * Loss of points for the offending team * score of 0 for the map * DQ from the match This is all judged of how bad the block was and how badly the survivors were damaged Admins will decide if it was ladder blocking or not dont spam global Server crashes No one may connect to a match server while online on steam, nor go online while connected to the server. In the event of a server crash or sustained denial of service attack, an admin will determine if the round will be replayed. Competitors are expected to make reasonable efforts to finish the live round where possible. Glitches In the event of a finale rescue vehicle glitch (most common on Swamp Fever, but also possible on Dark Carnival and Hard Rain) the half will be replayed following a restart round. If necessary the final scores will be calculated manually.

Tank Rock tank is against the the rules in this tournament, We are trying to make the tournament fast and fun to watch. If your tank sends multiple rocks in and tries to maintain line of sight for multiple SI attacks and it is clear you are trying to rock tank instead of pushing tank in. You may be penalized for up to the amount of bonus removed from the survivors during the rock tank and will be forced to push the tank in, regardless of your SI spawns, while rock tanking. This will be added on the opponent's score with promod 3.2 set score function at the start of the following round. or calculated manually at the end of the finale map.
