PENALTIES:
- If a team violates a Gadgets / Vehicles / Reinforcements / Roofs & Areas / Battle Pick-ups restriction, only the map the item was used on will be forfeited.
- If a team violates a Fortifications restriction, only the map the Fortification was built on will be forfeited.
- Photo proof required: If you equip the hammer and get close to a Fortification that was built by either yourself or one of your teammates, it will display the name of the person that built it. If it doesn’t show a name, it was built by a player on the enemy team. EXAMPLE.
- For the Destroyed Sections restriction on Provence:
- A 10 ticket penalty (per infraction) will be applied if players are caught inside one of the restricted areas.
- A 25 ticket penalty will be applied per kill obtained while standing in a restricted area.
- If a team violates a WEAPONS / COMBAT ROLES / GRENADES restriction, a 25 Ticket Penalty per BANNED Weapon / Combat Role / Grenade Kill will be applied.
- (This means that getting a kill with a – banned weapon doesn’t cost your team the map)
- If a team violates a CLASS restriction, a 25 ticket penalty will be applied for every 10 seconds in which the violation occurs.
- This means that accidentally spawning with an extra class doesn’t cost your team the game as long as you redeploy right away.
- Accumulating three (3) CLASS restriction violations within the same map (2 sides) will cause a map forfeit for the team in violation.
- Video proof is required for each incident.
- Videos must be at least 10 seconds long and must show the scoreboard for the duration of the infraction.
- Teams will be required to report and provide proof of any rule infraction(s) at the end of the map in which the infraction occurred. Failure to do so can possibly void any penalty for the opposing team.
