BASE RULES
  • Ladder competition lasts for a season which is 8 gameweeks. It starts on 7.11.2022 and ends on 1.1.2023.
  • Teams can join the ladder during the first 4 gameweeks of the current season. However a team needs to play a minimum of 5 matches in order to be ranked in the final standings.
  • Teams must sign up with minimum of 4 players.
  • A player can only play for one team.
  • Each player is obligated to use the latest version of AQtion. We highly recommend the Steam version of it in the long run, as it will integrate with new features, but standalone is just fine.
  • Each team's captain(s) is responsible:
    • to use the ladder bot,
    • to communicate and arrange matches with opponents,
    • of behaviour of his team.
  • Each team starts with 1000 ELO points. Points are gained or lost depending on the outcome of the matches.
  • Match outcome is determined on the sum of rounds won; win/loss or draw is the possible outcome.
  • Each gameweek lasts from Monday to Sunday.
  • Each team has to play at least 1 match per gameweek. If they fail to play a match in a gameweek they are awarded 30 points decay. If a team is not challenged but challenges at least two teams and fails to play a match, that team will not be penalized via points decay.
  • Each team has a chance to avoid being penalized for not playing in a gameweek by using a wildcard, which can only be used once.
  • Matches are being played 4 versus 4, unless both teams agree otherwise.
  • Before the match starts each team picks a homemap they will play. Match is 2 maps 20 minutes each.
  • Not showing up to play a scheduled match, walkovers or mid-match forfeits are awarded with 120 points decay.
  • Champion will be crowned at the end of the season and will hold the title until the next season is finished.
TRANSFER RULES
  • Players are allowed to change teams (transfer/trade).
  • To make an official request for a transfer open a ticket in #create-ticket
  • When a player switches teams, that player can't participate in ladder matches during that current gameweek, but can start playing in the next gameweek.
  • If a player has made a switch to another team, he can't switch teams for 2 weeks.
  • If a team recruits a player that was not in any team beforehand, he can play in the same gameweek.
SERVER RULES
  • Match servers must be played on official ladder-sanctioned and approved servers.
  • Server has to have MVD recording enabled and demos available to download.
  • Match is preferably played on one server. If teams can't agree on one server, 1 map on each team's server is also an option.
  • Matches between a European team and an American team are preferably played on the US East server.
