2. Game Play

Moving your character outside of the boundaries of the map, ie clipping, may result in a forfeit of the Game.
Any issues with character movement, aiming down sights, disarming the bomb defuser, etc. should be reported to a referee immediately. If the referee is able to confirm that this has occurred, they will determine whether or not the affected Round will be restarted and which players will participate in the restarted Round.
Arming the bomb outside of the area(s) that are considered to be the defined planting area is not permitted.
Once the match has been created only players on the two teams and Tournament Officials may be invited/join the match. If a player who is not a registered member of one of the teams the Game must be ended. If a player is found to have invited an ineligible player to a game they will forfeit the game.
If a player lags out after the first 30 seconds and/or after the first kill, the match must continue.
If a Player disconnects, the current Round must be completed. After that Round has been completed, the Game must be ended. It is the responsibility of the shorthanded Team to have all players to end or leave the Game before the start of the next Round. Rounds that are played while a Team is shorthanded will be counted. After a Game is ended, the shorthanded Team will be given 5 minutes for their teammate to return before they must start another Round shorthanded. When the Game resumes, the score will be as it was when the Game was ended and the Teams will be set to resume the Game from proper sides.
Any form of cheating, glitching, abusing in-game mechanics, or unsportsmanlike behavior may result in a Forfeit of a Game, Match, or Ban from future LANFest tournaments. Punishable unsportsmanlike behavior includes, but is not limited to, excessive use of foul or degrading language. In addition, breaking any rule may result in a Forfeit of a Round/Game, Forfeit of a Match, or Ban from future LANFest tournaments.
LANFest reserves the right to broadcast any match. If LANFest choose to broadcast a Match, LANFest tournament officials must be allowed into each game.
All communications must be done through the LANFest discord on the voice channels reserved for the tournament, no third party communication tools are allowed

3. Bracket Play

All Round 1 Matches have the same default start time. After Round 1, all Matches have a unique default start time that is dependent upon the time at which the Teams’ previous Round results were submitted. Matches must be started by their default start time and played until completion.
After losing a match in a single elimination tournament, that team will be eliminated from the competition.
Matches may not be rescheduled except for finals. Rescheduling a finals match will be at the discretion of Online Tournament Staff
All teams/players have a 15 minute grace period from the match scheduled time to show up and play their match. If a team does not show up by the end of this grace period, an LANFest Tournament Staff member must verify the no show. Please contact a staff member via the #referees channel on Discord. Once the staff member joins, extra time up to 10 minutes may be given to ensure the match is played.
Teams have 5 minutes between each map/game mode. If a team/player goes over this grace period, please follow the above steps for support.
For game modes that are not kill dependent, teams may only play shorthanded by one player. Any missing player may join the private match lobby at any time.
No warm-up or practice Games are permitted once the first tournament match has begun. If a match is played before the scheduled time, it will not be considered a warm-up and will count as the official scores.
All matches up until finals will be a best of three (3) series. Finals will be played as a best of five (5) series.

4. Hosting

The Host is the Player who must create the Game’s Private Match and ensure that the proper Settings and Map are used.
Teams will be randomly seeded before the start of the tournament. The team seeds are done in ascending order. Seed one is the highest seed. (Example: Bracket Seed ten (10) is a higher seed than twenty (20).
All matches for this tournament will be played on the Bomb game mode
In a best of 3 and best of 5 series, the higher seeded team must host the first Map. The lower seeded team must choose sides on the first Map. Then, the lower seeded team must host the second Map. The higher seeded team must choose sides on the second Map. This will alternate until a tie breaker is required. The team with the highest overall score will host the tiebreaker map.

The team with the highest combine round count for games leading up to the tie breaker will host the final map. The non-hosting team will choose which side to start on.
The Team that doesn’t Host a Game must choose to play as Attackers or Defenders for that Game.
All players must agree that the Host is reasonable before the start of a Map. If a reasonable Host cannot be found, Tournament Live Support Discord MUST be used to request a LANFest Referee to help decide who will host the map. If a Referee is not available, the best Host should be used.
We highly suggest that a lag test be performed before the start of each map. If a lag test is not performed, it will be implied that all players agree the host is acceptable to play on.
If a player’s connection to the Host becomes unreasonable during a game, the Game must still be played. After each Game, either Team may request that a new Host be tested, if the previous Host was unreasonable.
If the Host incorrectly ends a Game, their Team may Forfeit the Game.

4a. Map Voting

The team with the higher seed (lower number in the bracket) gets the lobby hosting right. The game must be hosted on a dedicated server. The dedicated server location must be settled by default (based on ping). Who is the lower and higher seed? Example: Seed Number
The team which picked the last map (banned the final map) in a Best of One cannot choose the starting side, the team can only pick the starting side in overtime which must be set up correctly before the start of the match.
During a Best of Three, each team can pick the starting side of the map picked by the other team. Team A picks the Map and Team B can choose the starting side on that map, while Team A can choose the starting sides in overtime. On the pick of team B, team A can choose the starting side while team B can choose the starting side in overtime. Sides in the last map at a Best of 3 are chosen by the team with the best round difference in the previous maps. In case of a same round difference, a coin flip will determine which team decide starting side. Should further assistance be needed with the coin flip, a protest must be opened. The team that does not decide the starting side decides the starting side on overtime.
When a team has all their players in the lobby, they are counted as ready and the match, considering both rosters are complete, can be started.

5. General Rules

If a Match is played before the scheduled time, it will not be considered a warm-up and will count as the official results. Teams may not delay the start of a Match beyond its scheduled start time, without the approval of a Tournament Official.
Teams may only play one man down from the number of players set for this competition. (i.e 3v4, 2v3, or 1v2) A Team will Forfeit the Match if they don’t have the minimum required players present by 15 minutes after a Match’s default start time (Grace Period). Teams with the minimum required players present will be forced to start a Game at the end of a Grace Period. Bots are not permitted in any Game. If Teams that are scheduled to play each other both Forfeit a Game or Match, the higher seeded Team will be awarded the Game/Match win.
Teams may delay a Match between Rounds/Games for up to five minutes. Teams can request that a Tournament Referee enforce this five minute time limit. After five minutes of a Tournament Referee enforced delay, if the delaying Team is not present, they will Forfeit the Match.
To get help with a No Show issue, you MUST contact Staff via LANFest Discord. Staff must verify the No Show. To obtain assistance with a no show you must go to the tournament discord channel and post to staff using the @staff flag and tag the message with #no-show. You must include proof that your opponent did not show.
For any allegations of cheating, wrong weapons used, glitching, etc., you MUST contact Staff via LANFest Discord . Glitching accusations must be supported by video proof.
