All game connection information shown on a team’s roster must match with the accounts in game. Players using different accounts or those not officially on the roster are prohibited from playing in matches. Only one account connection is allowed per game, the use of alternate accounts is prohibited. All account connections are prohibited from being changed after the team has participated in its first match of a tournament’s regular season.

If a player’s name does not match what is shown on their roster, please reach out to a Solar Flare Administrator in discord for assistance while the game is still being played. Name discrepancy reports will not be accepted after a match has been completed.

Any actions that result in an unfair advantage are illegal. The following actions are considered illegal in official play:

  • Exploits as outlined in rule 2.2.
  • Abusing re-host or player disconnects
  • Spawn Killing
    • Killing someone within 2 seconds after spawning will be considered spawn killing. Spawn killing can result in the overturning of the results of the map. If you believe spawn killing has happened, please submit a match dispute along with video evidence.

4.4. Roster Additions

Teams are prohibited from adding additional players or substitute players to their roster once the qualifiers have started.

 

5. Stoppage of Play

Intentionally disconnecting during the match is strictly prohibited. A player who disconnects for any reason more than three times may face a penalty at the administrator's discretion. If a player drops from the server during a match, the round will continue uninterrupted until the end of the round. The round is considered to start at the first second of the preparation phase. After the round has been completed, the player who disconnected will be allowed to rejoin the server. The match is considered “live” when the first round has started. At least 4 players need to remain and the match needs to be played until the match ends and a winner is decided. If this is not possible due to connection issues, it will be considered as a forfeit in favor of the team who is able to have the required number of players in the server. If a team leaves the server without informing their opponent, the team risks forfeiting the match.

Teams may call for a server re-host so long as the first round of a map has not been completed and first blood has not yet occurred in round 1. In the event that a match is rehosted, each player must select the same settings as they picked at the start of the original game. If problems persist with regards to a player disconnecting after the server has already been re-hosted, the team must play the remainder of the match with the remaining 4 players. If multiple rehosts for a single game are needed please, reach out to a Solar Flare Administrator.

For issues concerning multiple player disconnections, please contact a Solar Flare Administrator.
