Third Party Software/Addons

  • Players may use the in-game GUI or console for configuration settings. All options available via the in-game menus are authorized for use in tournament play.
  • Device drivers which permit players to see through walls, or enable any form of transparency not intended by id Software, are strictly forbidden and grounds for immediate removal not just from the tourament but from quakelive permanently.
  • Players may use alias binding, however, no alias may be used which assists players in determining spawn times, or performing any action which in any way inhibits the ability of an opponent to perform a legal action in the game.
  • Except for control drivers and device settings, no commands are allowed outside the game or in the command line.
  • Except for control drivers, custom HUDs, and device settings, no alteration, deletion, or addition of files is permitted.
  • Any commands or combination of commands that allow seeing through walls, player warping, message spamming, auto-aim, radar, item timing, or similar action will be considered cheating and grounds for disqualification.
  • Questions regarding setting of variables and commands and how they relate to cheating should be brought to a tournament official before your first match.
  • There is zero tolerance for cheating. If a participant is caught cheating, they will face disciplinary actions up to and including disqualification from competition.
  • Custom Player HUDs should not relay additional information beyond what is available on the official Small, Normal, or Large Player HUDs.
    Participating players who have been banned in other leagues or tournaments may also become banned in regular season play or playoffs regardless of how far into the season or playoffs the player is. These decisions will be done with an admin council to ensure the decision is warranted and will be a case by case situation.

PLAYERS THAT WARP (McDonalds Wifi Heroes):

  • During a match if a player is seen lagging repeatedly a captain can timeout by typing in the console command !pause or /timeout.
    If the captain is not present, he can designate a teammate to act as captain.

  • Due to the longevity of the game each team will be given at most 2 minutes to have that player reset their connection to fix the lag/warp. After the timeout/pause, if that player continues to warp/lag, that player will be forced out of the game and has to
    be subbed. The only way that the player lagging/warping will be able to play is in the next map and is no longer lagging/warping. NO EXCEPTIONS.

  • Pausing for 999 lag, it is up to the captain to let the refs know ahead of time if one of their players is having connection problems. The player themselves can also inform the ref that they might be having connection issues. This will help the game getting paused before you get blown away. 

  • Before Each Regular Season and Playoff Game:
    –set cg_autoaction to 3
    – the winning team each week has to upload screenshots in the proper channels
  • If you think a player might be using wifi, bring it to an admin’s attention and that player will be asked to use a wired connection or they won’t be cleared to play.

Stats Tracking

  • You are welcome to make a new account if this bothers you. To play in this league you must make your qlstats profile public
    If you should need help doing this message any moderator.

  •  Your team will lose 1 point per person who has their qlstats page still on private after feb 28th @ 11:59pm Eastern Time.

      

Streaming

  • No players are allowed to stream publicly during official matches. All official content should go through the tournament streams only.
    There won’t be any penalties handed out unless the rule is continuously broken by the same person, after that–a team points deduction.

  •  Players allowed to stream during Thunderdome matches: ddk and lexCS only

  • Carnage is allowed to stream division 2 matches with his team’s premission
