Post by ShocK »

SFL 2012 Rules
5 v 5 Soldier of Fortune 1 CTF Tournament

Image Name & Registry Rule
- Players must use the name with witch they were signed up by their clanleader while playing a SFL match.
- Players must be registered on the player list with their UAC ID Number. Unregistered players in a league match may result in a default match and penalties maybe incurred.
- Once a player is registered to a clan, he may only play for that team during the period of that season; unless the clan leaves the season.
- Individual players leaving clans may play for a clan struggling for active players if allwed by clanleaders and/or staff through a poll.

Image Time rules
- Match day: Sunday 8pm UK, 9pm CET
- If a clan (in full or partially) does not show up 10 minutes after starting time, a default will be given to the opponent. Unless both clans agree on a rematch.
- Standard pause time: 5 minutes for each clan (may change if both clans agree).
- Standard wait time: 10 minutes (may change if both clans agree).
- For any issues during matches, the staff is available on msn
- Rematches: A clan with a full team on Sunday has preference when choosing a rematch date; any date within reason is usable. All SFL 2012 rules apply.

Image Server settings
- Phosphorus grenades disabled
- Infinate Ammo off
- Realistic damage on
- Bullet only
- Claymores disabled
- Flag drop disabled
- Teamchat only

Image Anti Cheat
All league match players must use UAC.
- Players must have UAC activated at all times when playing a SFL match. Not having UAC activated during the match will result in a default loss.
- When UAC freezes during the process of uploading screenshots or scanning make sure you have proof of that. Staff with or without help of clanleaders will decide what the outcome will be.

UAC screenshots and the Black Screenshot Fix
1: Players must produce a clear UAC screenshot
- Penalty: *Default loss
OR
2: Players have the option to not use the blackscreenshot fix but MUST record themselves instead and produce the correct working dm2 files within 24 hours of matches finishing.
- Penalty: *Default loss
OR
3: Both teams agree BEFORE the match to NOT record (UAC ON - Greyscreens ok)

*Default loss -
- Team breaking the rule that won the match: Default loss
- Team breaking the rule that lost the match: Default loss or the score as it was in the match - whichever is higher.

Image Match admins
- As a match admin you ensure the integrity of a league match.
- You will take screenshots of the end score + statistics (Preferably not in legoland settings and with readable scores)
- The game may not be paused while F.I.P. (Flag In Progress)
- In the event of a match admin not being available then a member of Staff acceptable to both teams may step in as admin.

Image Flaming
- Flaming during matches is not allowed. Doing so can result in disallowance to play/finish the match. The match will continue without the person concerned.

Image Recorded Video
- No video recordings will be used solely as proof of cheating.

Image Penalties
ViolationPenalty
Flag pass-3 FFD
HackingPermanent Ban
Trickjumping-2 FFD
FFD: Final Flag Deduction
The total amount of FFD's will be deducted from the final flagcount.


Image Trickjumps
- Definition: Getting into/onto an area which is not meant to be accessible. ie; ontop or outside of the map.
- Jumps involving a 2nd player and/or the use of items are disallowed.

Image Defaults
- 3 points + 4 flagcaps

Image Tied 1st Place
- When position 1 and 2 have the same amount of points, teams will play a final match.
- Clans will pick a map each and post in Staff and Clanleaders forum atleast 72 hours before the matches. A clan not choosing a map witihn this time will have to play the chosen map twice. If no maps are chosen before this time then maps will be picked by the match admin (Which will be posted in Staff and Clanleaders forum atleast 48 hours in advance)
- Symmetrical maps only.
If points are still tied a 3rd map will be played directly after the first two maps have ended.
- Clans can agree on the map to be played; also to be posted atleast 48 hours before matches.
- If a map is not agreed upon by this time, the map will be chosen by the match admin and be posted atleast 24 hours before matches. The 3rd map cannot be one of the maps already chosen and must also be symmetrical.

Image Clanleader polls & forum
- A majority of more than one needs to vote for the same choice to let a poll count.
- Polls concerning the outcome of a previous poll are not allowed without a valid reason (ie: Bug in AC discovered)
- Clanleaders cannot discharge another clanleader from his/her position and privileges. If a clanleader has any complaints regarding the behaviour of another clanleader he can report that to SFL Staff.

Image Voids
- Void matches are to be replayed at a time convenient to both teams. (SFL Rules apply)
- Not to be confused with disputed matches (common sense rulings)
- A disputed match may become a void match.

Image Forum
- Insulting an individual because of his race and/or religion is not allowed.
- Sharing forum accounts is not allowed.
- When having 2 accounts the chance exists one of these accounts will be deleted.

If one of the aforementioned rules get broken by an individual, penalties can and will be given. What the penalty will be depends on the violation and the matter of the violation and will be decided by the SFL Staff. This decision will be based on opinions from SFL Staff members and clanleaders.
All clans and individuals will be treated equally. All clans and/or individuals will receive the same penalties when violating a rule.

* If a situation occurs in which none of the aforementioned rules offers a solution SFL Staff will decide, with or without help from the clanleaders, what to do. The outcome is binding and will not be discussed.

Rules will be updated and/or amended when the need occurs.

The Common Sense Approach

Post by ShocK »

The "If clans agree " settlement made clear:

Scenario 1:

Team A v Team B

Score: 4 - 0

Team A

Player 1 Grey Screenshot, no demo
Player 2 uac screenshots
Player 3 uac screenshots
Player 4 uac screenshots
Player 5 uac screenshots

Team B

Player 1 uac screenshots
Player 2 uac screenshots
Player 3 uac screenshots
Player 4 uac screenshots
Player 5 uac black screenshots - dm2 File Produced - GOOD OK


OUTCOME 1
- Both clanleaders accept the match was played fair and square - score stands, no penalties.

OUTCOME 2
- Team B disputes the outcome of the match (no rules broken, they have this option, Team A does NOT) - Default to Team B, SFL Penalty Rules apply to Team A


*To make this perfectly clear, the team with a clean (on the day) match record is calling the shots here. The clan with rule breakers in the team has no say whatsoever!


----------------------------------------------------------------------

Scenario 2:

Team A v Team B

Score: 4 - 0

Team A

Player 1 Grey Screenshot, no demo
Player 2 uac screenshots
Player 3 uac screenshots
Player 4 uac screenshots
Player 5 uac screenshots

Team B

Player 1 uac screenshots
Player 2 Grey Screenshot, no demo
Player 3 Grey Screenshot, no demo
Player 4 uac screenshots
Player 5 uac black screenshots- dm2 File Produced - GOOD OK


OUTCOME 1
- Both clanleaders accept the match was played fair and square - score stands, no penalties.

OUTCOME 2
- Either one or both Teams disputes the outcome of the match - SFL Penalty Rules apply to Both Teams

Timelimit for clans to reach an agreement on disputed matches:

By the end of the 5th day after the disputed match/es has been played.
