Please ensure you use these rules for playing Hamburger Hill matches..

RULE AMENDMENT - Dec 3rd, 2007 - going forward for all tournament play.

REPORTING A CHEAT

First Off - Cheating accusations without proof is considered very unfavorible.. get proof first!

To make the job of the committee easier, if you suspect a member from the opposing team or your team of cheating, please do the following:

• Notify your Team Captain immediately via comms or inner team communication (DO NOT GO PUBLIC YET) No one hates it more to be called a cheater if there is not proof!!
  
• Try to get another team member outside of yourself to see it. A witness
  
• Use fraps or some other game screen capture to capture the issue at hand. The more proof the better your case shall be. Get others to do the same.
  
• Once you have the proof and only after you have it and you wish to take action Inform the other team of the issue and that you will be taking it up with the committee.
  
• The match then stops at that point! The match does not continue until the review has been completed!
  
• Have your TEAM CAPITIAN notify SCE_IrishStout and Roco*AFZ* of the incident via P.M. or Xfire.
  
• OR jump on SCE's team speak (T.S. Details in email sent to Team Capitians). Here you may talk to SCE_IrishStout, SCE_Cobb, or SCE_Eagle1 (This will be your best and quickest means of getting a ruling providing we are on.)
  

• What Happens Next? ...
  
• We will review the issue as soon as possible.
  

  
  

  Provide the following: Round, Game, Time, Team Name, Player(s) name in game, description example:
  
  
  Round: 1
  
  
  Game: 2
  
  
  Time: 8:04 p.m. est
  
  
  Team: Hack
  
  
  Player(s): Cheat, Steal, and Chump
  
  
  
  These players where caught using a wall hack on HH_The Fort. Clean_Player and Clean_Angle caught the cheat on Fraps at grid section B6 .... (The more information the better)
  
  

  
  

• We look at the proof provided and look at the in-game screenshots via the server
  
• If the proof is 100 % confirmed and all Tourney Committee members agree, the Cheating Team will lose the match and the player in question will be kicked out of the tournament and any remaining tournaments, ban id information will also be provided globally.
  
• HERE IS THE BIG PART TO UNDERSTAND If the match has been stopped and the committee feels there is not enough proof and there is not enough time to play the rest of the round. Then the advantage will go to the team that has been called cheaters and will advance.
  

Therefore, make sure you are sure... AGAIN you are stopping the game from continuing. Like in football, basketball, hockey... when a challenged is made, the challenging team if not proven to be right loses a timeout or gets a delay of game ... SO BE SURE before you call a player or team out!! This could result in your team not winning.

ADDING PLAYERS TO A ROSTER

Becasue of current times and the lack of amount of players, you can now add players to your roster. Here is the conditions and the process:

Conditions:

• The player has to have the Team's Tags
  
• Could not have played with another Team in this or another Tournament within the last 3 months (this includes all games)
  
• The players will be able to play in the next round of action, not the current round. Therefore, if you sign a player up in Round 1 they can only start playing in Round 2.
  

Process:

• Contact SCE_Irish Stout via email or PM.
  
• Send the names of the members you wish to add.
  
• SCE_IrishStout will perform an investigation and then replywith approval
  
• Players name will be added to the roster if checks and balances work out
  

Thanks,

The Commitee
