CAPS RULEBOOK
Rules
These rules are used for CAPS matchmaking. Players must follow the server rules, queue rules and equipment rules to keep matches fair and competitive.
Server Rules
Software and Websites
We will not tolerate cheating, scamming, modifying game files, or external services that are not explicitly endorsed. Do not post content on these subjects.
Content
Do not post any hate speech, harassment, racist, sexist, religious, political, or NSFW content.
Conduct
Respect your peers. Do not repeatedly harass others. Resolve disputes in a sportsmanlike manner.
Voice Chat
Players must have a microphone and speak English to communicate with teammates during open gameplay.
Match Participation
Follow all game mode rules and equipment rules. Avoid accessing banned spots. Join your match lobby within 5 minutes of it opening.
Queue Rules
Equipment
The equipment rules list all allowed equipment. If it is not explicitly listed, it is not allowed.
Match Preparedness
Players have 5 minutes to join their match lobby after queue start. Launch the game before you queue and leave it open. If you are not ready to play, leave the queue.
Fair Play Timeout
Teams can call 2 fair play timeouts of 3 minutes max per match. After the second fair play time is over, the team must continue gameplay.
Substitutions
A team may only sub out 2 of the original players per team. Avoid asking for a sub if it can be prevented.
Score Keeping
Captains are expected to post the current half score after every timeout and every half in the match lobby. It is suggested to clip each fair play or end-of-half score to verify score in case of score disputes.
Overtime
Overtime is expected to be played unless the captain of one team calls for a draw. Overtime is played on a 3 round count.
Match Results
The captain of the losing team must report their losses and draws properly.
