EUGL Rules

Game Specific Rules

1. Counter-Strike:Source
2. Call Of Duty 4 - S&D
3. Left 4 Dead

1. Fairplay

1. The use of any cheats (including but not limited to modifications of any .exe or .dll designed to aid a players gameplay) is strictly forbidden.
2. The use of any map, game or engine bugs or scripts (such as bunnyhop or burst fire scripts) is strictly forbidden.
3. All relevant Anti-Cheat programs must be running, VAC for HL&HL2 based games and PB for games

1a. Banning

1. If you are caught on Libra or XAC for a cheating offence you will be permanently banned from ALL EUGL matches.
2. You may not use or associate with any previously VAC banned accounts. This includes movie accounts. This is simply because we cannot see when the account was last banned.
3. Breaking rule 1a.2 will result in a temporary ban using the following calculation (amount of days of membership - amount of days since account was last used = ban length). This erases any trust issues and is the fairest way of ruling.
4. All permanent bans will not be reversed as they are proven without reasonable doubt.
5. Temporary bans will not be reversed until the ban time specified has elapsed.

2. Users & Teams

1. EuGL works on a strict, one-team per-user basis. You are therefore not allowed to be 'ticked' to play on more than one team, at any one time. You are however, allowed to be on a roster, as a leader, without being 'ticked'.
2. To enable you to play in an EuGL league or tournament, you must have a valid unique ID. IDs can be checked before or after the game has been played, however you are far more likely to be sided with if you protest before the game goes live.
3. New players on a team's roster will take 48 hours to be eligible to be play in a league or tournament.
4. Teams with offensive names will be removed from their ladder(s) and suspended until the name is amended. 
5. Anyone who is found to be in over 2 banned previous teams will find themselves banned for associating with cheaters.
6. Each person may only register 1 user account - if anyone is found to be using more than 1 account they will be banned for at least 1 month. 

3. Teams & Team Applications

1. EuGL enforces firm but fair rules for team applications. All decisions are final. Teams must;
2. Have a working website to be accepted, with member id's shown. Free hosting websites are not accepted. Cheap solutions include xippy and clancube.
3. Have AT LEAST two members on the roster, with ids inputted.
4. Have a server of their own at all times, in order to participate and be accepted in EuGL.

4. Matches & Challenges

1. Libra must be used for all matches; if you are having problems running Libra then you may use XAC. Teams with players found not using this, will forfeit that game. Repeated offences may lead to a player or team being disqualified from their ladder.
2. Any rules agreed upon in match comments, are only valid if both teams agree and must be strictly adhered to (as with any rule). The breaking of these rules will find rounds being forfeited and repetition of this may result in the forfeit of that match.
3. EuGL configs must be used for all fixtures, regardless of format.
4. Clans will be removed from a ladder if they reject 10, or miss 5 consecutive fixtures.
5. All fixture times are in GMT, if you are from a country with a different timezone, please make this known to your team, late arrivals are not acceptable and will result in a forfeit of that match.
6. A team may not play with any less than 2 players than the other team. If the game is in a league or ladder which is for less than 4 players (a 2on2 or 3on3 league, the correct amount of players MUST be used).

5. Accepting & Disputing

1. Once a match has been played, the score must be reported on the match planner and the sourceTV demo is to be uploaded (via any source) and linked in the match comments.
2. If a score cannot be agreed upon then a team can place a match conflict, to a conflict admin (if none are available, a game specific admin is acceptable). Keep in mind, that disputing a match is a last resort and teams should try and work out any differences between themselves.
3. Matches not confirmed within 5 days will be accepted by an admin and will go in favour of the team declaring themselves the winner in the match planner. This is irreversible and cannot be disputed.
4. Any wrong results accepted by accident cannot be reversed, please check the score is right before it is accepted.
5. Any decisions by an admin are final.

6. General Rules & Conduct

1. Racism is strictly forbidden at EuGL, the use of racist language will land the offender a one month ban.
2. The display of pornagraphic material or other 'age specific' is not allowed. This rule follows suit for ingame and in the forums. Breaking this rule will result in a two week ban.
3. The posting of any illegal material (torrents, download links for example) is forbidden and will land the offender a one month ban.
4. Abuse or aggressive behaviour to any member will not be tolerated. This offence will land a one month ban.

7. Tournaments

1. Game specific EuGL rules are to be followed at all times.
2. Teams will play in the format outlined by the tournament admin.
3. Matches are preferred to be played on the day they are scheduled. HOWEVER, if the tournament is a weekly event, teams may reschedule their matches to no later than the following sunday.
4. A team is allowed 2 default losses against their name. On the third default (either by rule breaking or no show) the team will be removed from the tournament.
5. Once a team has left group stages in a tournament, a newly added player cannot play in that team. This is known as a "locked roster". Teams found breaking this rule will be replaced.
