What happens if a player drops the flag in an inaccessible location?
Play continues and the team who's flag was dropped is awarded 1 extra flag. For this reason, please try to avoid locations where this might happen!

Is the jumpy movement produced by moving against diagonal walls counted as a bug?
Yes, please try to avoid doing it. Referees may give players who intentionally do it a match ban.

Is the "hax jump" allowed?
Yes, however the hax bind is not.

Are there any rules against lagging?
No, unless it is proven that a player is intentionally lagging. But please try to keep a stable connection.

Can I signup a mixed team?
Yes!

Can I use aliases?
Please use a name you're already known as

What happens if a player lags out during play?
Teams should play on. For this reason please bring a substitute!

How is the tree seeded?
The tree is random except for two requirements: (a) the highly rated teams won't play each other in the first round, and (b) if there are an odd number of teams, the team that doesn't play the first round will be a highly rated team.

Who's running Summer Cup?
HoeHunter, Zero and Roflcopter. Thanks go to Zero and Million.

AC Summer Cup 2015 is a 3v3 CTF cup taking place on 30 August and finishing the same day! The cup is double elimination. Clans and mixed teams are allowed.

Signups open at 11am GMT. A team must consist of at least three players including a captain. At 1pm GMT, teams will be seeded and randomly placed into a tree. Matches start shortly after!

If teams agree a server to play their match on then that server will be used. If no agreement can be made a referee will decide a server which, on balance of pings, packet jump and stability is fairest.

If a team is later than 15 minutes to field their team a referee may declare them to have forfeited. Generally referees will try hard to avoid this.

For each match a match thread will be created that provides a map from the pool to be played. All maps are symmetrical so only need to be played once. If a game is tied, the next map in the pool is played.

The map pool is: archives and tanglewood (competitive versions)

Teams are entitled to a benched player in addition to the three that play. During a match a player may substitute another provided (s)he waits at least 5 seconds before spawning. Players may play on if a player disconnects. For this reason, please bring a substitute!

Spectators are allowed at the discretion of the referee but they may not talk or interrupt the match.

Intentionally using bugs is not allowed. If a player drops a flag into an inaccessible location the enemy team will be awarded one extra flag to their score.

Players should be polite to one another. Referees may impose match bans to players who don't meet the standard!

Players that have been proven to cheat in the last 6 months may not play. Players should use their well-known names to signup and in game.

We ask that the winning team take responsibility for collecting demos (and ideally screenshots too) and posting them to their match thread.

We can't predict every eventuality; referees may improvise!
