Introduction

These rules are based on the official rules of SEUL (Finnish esports association) for Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.  Every participant must read and understand the following rules and behave in a sportsmanlike manner, including player avatar and screen names. Unsportsmanlike behavior will be sanctioned. Game admins have the final decision in all conflicts and sanctions. Tournament admins reserve all rights for changes related to these documents. Game admins can pause the tournament because of a serious technical problem or other reason as seen fit, e.g. medical emergency.

All cheating, including ghosting, is forbidden. If a participant is not sure whether a certain game mechanic is allowed, they MUST ask the head admin prior to the tournament’s start to find out whether it is allowed or not.

Breaking any of the rules will result in sanctions, including but not limited to:

Warnings
Losing a single game
Losing a game series
Deduction from the prize
Removal of a player or a team from the tournament
Removal of a player or a team from the event
A decision made by a single admin can be challenged by bringing it up with the head admin. This complaint can only be made right after the decision has been called or the game has ended, whichever occurred first. The head admin’s decision is final and cannot be challenged.
