1.2: Players
1.2.1: Every Player has to record demos
Demo files can be requested by an admin or any player of the opposing team.
Admins may request demo files at any time until the end of the competition an official match was played in; a competition is considered ongoing until its wrap-up post is published. Admins may request as many files as they require.
After a match was played the opposing team can request demo files at any time until 48 hours have passed after an official match was scheduled to start. They can request demos from up to two opposing players, who will then have to provide their demos for all played maps. A team is only allowed to make four demo requests in a single competition.
Players have to record the entirety of their official matches. Missing segments of any kind (e.g. rounds, halves) can count as a missing recording and may result in a team Warning and an infraction for the player. As a rule of thumb, we advise you to check whether you have a demo file recording whenever you join a server, especially after a connection loss or a map switch. A player whose demo files have been requested has 72 hours to upload them, starting from the time the request was made. The demos have to be provided by the requested players themselves, teammates cannot upload demos for them.
1.2.2: Player Nicknames
1.2.3: Players playing in matches casted by an org must use their real nicknames
All players who play in matches casted by an organization must use their current nickname that they signed up with. Team tags and sponsorship additions are allowed, but the nickname should be exactly the same as on sign up. Each incorrect nickname will warrant a separate Minor Warning, meaning a team can receive this punishment multiple times per match.
Example: "GOBLIN Tomato Tom 12345" is allowed. (Signed up playername is Tomato Tom)
Example: "soupman" in this case is not allowed.
1.2.4: Offensive and/or inappropriate messages, nicknames and avatars are not welcome
We do not tolerate offensive and inappropriate team names/nicknames, avatars and messages regardless of where they are posted - this includes (but is not limited to) the forum, match comments, and in-game during official matches. Any form of offensive behavior, including offensive bind spamming in the in-game chat, is not allowed.
Admins reserve the right to contact the players involved to have their name changed and will change offensive names on their own if the players are uncooperative. All cases are reviewed individually. Penalties may vary based on the severity of each offense, with any decisions being made at the discretion of the admin team. All circumstances will be taken into account.
1.2.5: No account sharing and usage of multiple accounts
Every player is limited to only one discord and steam account at any time. Creating multiple accounts or sharing one account between multiple players is not allowed. Multiple players from the same household (family, close friends, roommates, etc.) that may be sharing the same IP address must notify admins and use seperate discord and Steam accounts.
Players caught creating multiple discord accounts or allowing the use of their Steam account by a third party in official matches may face punishment, including (but not limited to) any or a combination of the following:
- Ban from PASS Fortress/4v4 PASS Time (discord) servers and tournaments
- Reversal of the official match's results
- A Major Warning for the offending team
- Tournament ban for the player
Evading bans with the usage of alternate accounts or account sharing with unbanned players is strictly forbidden as well.
Each case will be reviewed individually and penalties will be assigned based on the severity of the offense and its impact on the competition.
