Official Draft Tournament Rules - M. Bison - Apr 07 2017

Etiquette
You must behave professionally during the tournament because it's meant to be serious. No whining about registry, p90, teammates, strategy, cheating, etc or starting flame wars/arguments during matches. No forfeiting or ragequitting matches either. Even if it's 15-0, you're expected to finish every match.

Strategy
Your team captain is presumed your IGL (ingame leader) unless this responsibility is delegated to someone else. You MUST follow their strategies and play spots/sites as instructed even if you disagree. Team captains should repeat strategies a few times or explicitly ask whether anyone is unclear of what they are doing or where they are playing during freezetime. I strongly suggest informing players by name of their strategic responsibilities (example: bill & adam watch flank in a crossfire setup, while mike & bob work a pick with me A). The less vague the instruction, the less disorganized the team.

Pauses
Each player on a team can pause the match once for 60 seconds. Pauses can be extended by having a teammate or opponent use their pause. Do not use !pause unless you need to use it (strategy, emergency bathroom, internet drop, etc). In general, it's better to take bathroom breaks during half time than using !pause. Pauses only take effect during freezetime. If pause is used in the middle of a round it will take effect during the next round's freezetime.

Gameplay
Typical league rules are also in effect. This means certain gameplay isn't permitted, such as:
  • certain spots (de_train, de_tuscan, etc). The boosts on de_inferno are fine.
  • crouch spamming (standing and ducking repeatedly and rapidly on bomb or gun fights).
  • illegal defuses (you must have clear line of sight. obviously excluding barrels/teammates/flashes/smokes)
Standard War-Lords rules apply for areas not covered here.

Failure to abide by these rules will result in bans from future War-Lords events in addition to an in-game ban.

So pretty much u can't hide behind an object to defuse?

Correct, if you can't see the bomb it's illegal. The server normally interrupts the defuse when it's illegal, but not always.

So if your captain tells you to rush mid solo with pistol, you have to do it? NICE

If there's a pattern of not following strategy, then it's a ban from future events and an in-game ban.
