Watching or listening to the on-going match via a live stream is considered severe cheating and can result in the offending team being disqualified from the tournament.

4.2 Moderate cheating

Using map shortcuts, techniques similar to so-called lerp hacking, high-visibility non-standard textures and/or models will result in one to three warnings being given to the offending player and the match where the offending player was caught has to be replayed.

5.3 Ready up, player disconnects, bug deaths and pausing the match

The official tournament config has required ready-up for players in the beginning of both rounds of the map; no additional actions like saying „ready“ are required. The match will begin when all the players have set themselves as „ready“. If a player has disconnected or crashed, the game must be paused; the game may not continue until the disconnected player (or a substitute player) is ready to join the server. This situation may not be considered as a reason to replay the round, even if the disconnect resulted in a survivor death, tank suicide or something similar. The match must continue as normal after unpausing. There will be exceptions to this rule. If a game bug causes an unexpected survivor death, the round has to be replayed if the suffering team considers it necessary. If the death or incapacitation has been caused by player mistake the round will not be replayed. Excessive pausing during a match is not allowed. Reason for pausing has to be explained shortly to the opposing team. Both teams must say „ready“ before the match can be continued. Frequent pausing without explanation, or unpausing without „ready“ will result in a team warning for the offending team.
