Bugs and glitches
• Upon starting the match both sides agree that the server is in order, and no further configuration changes are needed to be made on the server. Therefore any unintentional use of bug flash as a result of not fixed maps will not be taken into account in a protest.
• Any intentional abuse of any bugs will be dealt with with all possible severity and may in worst case scenarios result in a disqualification from the tournament
• Deeming whether the use of a bug or glitch was intentional lies with the sole discretion of the tournament administration
• Any breach of these rules will result in an instant rematch, penalty points may also be rewarded upon the administrations discretion. Normally 1 minor penalty point per discrepancy up to a maximum of 3 minor penalty points per match. Extreme cases may be considered as an direct disqualification reason.
