For this reason, all players should regularly check the rules page for updates. Changes will be announced in the news by the administrators.
1.2.
Team and Player Conduct
All players are asked to behave in a humane way towards other competitors, and to any member of the administration team; treat others as you would like to be treated! If a player is found guilty of misconduct by an administrator, he/ she may receive penalty points. Also, teams risk league kicks, bans and expulsions from Consoles competitions.

Should it become known to the Consoles administrators that any form of cheating was used to the advantage of a player or a team, the Consoles Sport League reserves the right to punish them with the full extent available to them (see 7. “Penalties”). By breaking any rule a player risks being barred or completely excluded from a specific league or from all leagues. This also includes his/her team.
2.2.
Game Modifications and Changes

Matches
5.1.
Game Preparations
In addition to challenging other teams via the Consoles Page, it is also always a good idea to contact the challenged team per e-mail, irc, icq or other means a few days before the match.
Further on the player has to ensure that his Xbox Live Friendslist is not full, so that his opponent can add him.
5.1.1.
Match Broadcasting
All forms of game broadcasting are allowed if both sides agree. If one side wants to broadcast a match, the details of the broadcast should be discussed before the match takes place.
Further details can be found in rule 1.4 Game Coverage.
5.1.2.
Match Arrangements
Arrangements must be done before a match takes place.
See 7. Arrangements for further information.
5.1.3.
Level and Mapcheck
Before a match can start, both players have to signalise that they are ok to start the match.
If one of the players has problems, then he has to tell that his opponent and the start will be repeated.
5.1.4.
Matches against team players
Matches against team players in any ladder are prohibited. If such a match was generated by the Instantchallenger it has to be deleted via matchsetup.
If this is not the case, the matches will be deleted and penalty points will be given if necessary.
5.1.5.
Nickname restrictions Ingame
Every player has to use the same nickname during the entire game, as it is stated in his playersheet. The change of the nickname after the match has started is not allowed. If it is a team match, each player is allowed to have a Teamtag. Protest- or supporttickets regarding a misuse of this rule are not acceptable. The Administrator s can assign penalty points, if a misuse of this rule stop them from their work.
5.2.
Meeting point
Before a match, it is recommended that the two players or team leaders come together on the official IRC-channel of the league or the Xbox Live Voice Chat at least 15 minutes before the match is to commence, in order to confirm the correct attendance. The official channels are to be found in the league’s rules. In case of doubt, one can contact the channel #consoles at QuakeNet
It is of the utmost importance that every player is listed with his correct nickname and, in team-leagues, also with his team’s shorthandle, so that the players can clearly be assigned to the Consoles database. In case of a clash, the player who informs an admin of his presence or who is listed in the IRC logfiles has better chances of his presence being confirmed. Of course, the teams can also decide to meet per ICQ or on the respective server itself. However, should problems occur, a timely meeting on IRC would be of advantage.
If you don’t have a IRC chat client, you are able to connect to IRC through the Consoles Web IRC chat.
5.3.
Server
5.3.1.
Choice of server
In case a certain game-server is needed for the game, the players must attend to a server for the game themselves and come to an agreement. In the case of no agreement being reached, each team decides on a map which is then played on each of the two team’s servers. The teams can of course play on a completely neutral server, if they decide to do so.
5.4.
Player settings
The player settings (e.g. config. values) that are listed in the game-specific rules are to be abided by.
5.5.
Results
Both players / teams are responsible for entering the correct results. Both players / teams may enter a detailed report or statements on the game. The admins are also free to enter a report , either written by themselves or by third parties.

In case of discrepancies concerning the score, both players / teams should keep screenshots of the game that can be sent to the admins when requested.
5.6.
Illegal actions
5.6.1.
Selfkills
Selkills or any kind of other ways (eg. Sheer) are prohibited.
5.6.2.
Bugs
The usage of bugs is explicit prohibited.
5.7.
Trouble shooting / protest procedures
As a basic rule, every game is played through to the end. Should problems occur, these must be announced clearly by one of the players by calling “Protest”. As soon as the match is over, the protest form must be filled in on the website. The admins will then check the case with the help of the form and impose a penalty if necessary.
A protest must be handed in within 72 hours after the beginning of a match. A protest must be made using the protest form. It is not possible to use the support form. The opposing team then has 72 hours in which it may comment on the accusations made against it. An additional request by the admin is not necessary, as the notification occurs automatically.
The codes of conduct must also be kept to in case of a protest. Verbal misconduct or abuse in any form can be punished with penalty points.
Both parties have to follow the Consoles protest guidelines.
If no response is received within the 72 hours period allotted, the team forfeits it’s right and the admin alone must decide according to the available data and facts.
5.7.1.
Game offenses
Should a team ascertain a game offence, the best procedure is to write a support-mail via the Consoles page. The match-ID and an exact description of the occurrences must be given in this mail. The accusations must be provable and the page on which the proof can be viewed by the admins must also be given.
The support-function should only be utilized when the problem that occurs is not during a match. Problems that apply to a match directly, must be dealt with using the protest-function.
5.7.2.
Server problems
Should problems with a server occur, a different server must be found and used. Should no other server be found in a measurable amount of time and should the game server definitely not be functional, the game can be resumed at a later time and date.
5.7.3.
Player drops
Should a player drop during a game, then the current round will be played to the end. After the round is finished the match will be paused if the droped player hasn’t reconnected to the server and is not in his team.
The teams will wait for 10 min. for the droped player. If he isn’t able to reconnect, the match will be cancelled and as stated in rule 5.7.5 (Game interceptions) resumed. For this, a protest has to be opened.
5.7.4.
Player alterations
Players can be changed between the rounds, either between the maps or during half time. But this change doesn’t take longer then 5 min. If it takes longer longer then that, the game will start and the missing player can join the running match. The substitution players however must be on the teamsheet.
5.7.5.
Game interceptions
If a match is interrupted during a map, all rounds will be scored up to the interception.
5.8.
Fixed dates / appointments
Rules concerning the dates and times of a game, should any exist, are to be found in the specific game rules.
5.9.
Wildcard
There are two Wildcards per Saison to defer a match up to 7 days, whereas the opponent will be the same. (Wildcard must be used 24 hours prior to the match date). Every match can be deferred or deleted, if both players/teams agree to.
5.10.
Communication
The communication during a match, as not otherwise stated, is done by the ingame voice function. Any kind of Messenger (ICQ, MSN,..), Chats (eg. IRC), Voice chats (Teamspeak, Skype,…) or even telephone are prohibited.
6.
Penalties after offences
6.1.
In General
If a player or team disregards or violates one or more of the legal rules of the league, this can have various consequences depending on the severity of the offence. The Consoles Sport League possesses an official catalogue of penalty points according to which points are given for each offence.
If a punishment affects a player in a team match, the player and the team receive the same penalty points. Up to 6 penalty points may be given per team and player within a single match.
The responsible admin decides whether an offence has affected the game to such an extent that it can not be assessed and must be deleted. Offences committed by the losing team seldom lead to match deletion.
In addition to the penalty points, players and teams may be barred if they have accumulated a certain amount of penalty points:
- After obtaining 4 penalty points: 1 week suspension
- After obtaining 9 penalty points: 2 weeks suspension
- After obtaining 10 penalty points: 1 month suspension
Barred players and teams must finish playing their open matches. They can, however, neither create new matches nor be challenged. Suspended players and teams may not take part in team matches. They may only take part in open 2on2 matches as 2on2 teams form a fixed unit.
As a rule, the penalty points are deleted after a certain period of time. There are different clearance periods depending on the amount of points:
- 1-2 penalty points: 2 months
- 3-6 penalty points: 3 months
- 7 penalty points: 6 months
- 12 penalty points: 2 years (see cheating, rule 6.7.)
A player or team can receive a maximum of 11 penalty points. A player’s or team’s account that receives 12 or more penalty points is kicked from all leagues and may not re-enter any of them before the sum of penalty points drops below 12 again.
In particular cases the penalties imposed by the admins may vary from the catalogue of penalty points. The admins can impose penalties for offences that are not listed here.
6.2.
Breach of netiquette
Just as in other interpersonal areas in life it is also inevitable to preserve a certain degree of politeness within the Consoles Sport League. Offences against this rule are penalized according to their severity and frequency. In particular cases, the penalties imposed by the admins may vary from the degree of penalization mentioned below.
6.2.1.
Insults
All insults that occur in connection with the Consoles Sport League will be punished. This mainly includes insults during a match but also insults within the Consoles website (forums, match comments, player comments, support- and protest pages, etc.). Insults via IRC, ICQ, e-mail or other media will be penalized, providing a connection to the Consoles Sport League is given and provable.
Extreme insults such as radical statements or threats to do someone bodily harm can lead to strong punishments including exclusion and account deletion.
1 penalty point for the first insult.
2 penalty points for the second insult or extreme insult
3 penalty points for the third and any further insult or for the second insult and any further extreme insults.
The decisive factor herefore is the amount of active penalties for insults.
6.2.2.
Spamming
The excessive posting of futile, annoying or offensive contributions within the Consoles Sport League is considered as spamming.
Spamming on the website (forums, match comments, player comments, support- and protest pages, etc) is penalized as follows:
1 penalty point for the first spamming incident.
2 penalty points for the second spamming incident.
3 penalty points for the third and any further spamming incidents.
The decisive factor herefore is again the amount of active penalties for spamming.
6.2.3.
Forbidden communication tools
It is cheating (6.7.), should a team revert back to forbidden communication tools (see 5.10.).
6.3.
Unsportsmanlike behaviour
In order to secure a well-regulated and pleasant course of game, it is inevitable that all players act in a sportsmanlike and fair way. A breach of this rule will be penalized with 3 to 6 penalty points; the most important and most common offences are listed below. An admin may, however, impose a penalty for not explicitly listed offences that are unsporting (e.g. unnecessary harassment) on the basis of this rule.
6.3.1.
Failure to appear
Team
3 penalty points. If an opponent fails to appear to a match it is not necessary to file a protest. Simply enter that your opponent did not show up in the result sheet. When choosing this option, the remaining result panels should be left blank.
1on1
2 penalty points. In other respects the same procedures as for teams apply.
6.3.2.
Game Abort
4 penalty points. If your opponent should deliberately leave the game, you must definitely file a protest. You are not permitted to enter a result yourself. This would be penalized as a faking of results (rule 6.4.2.). Should the game have advanced to a point at which an evaluation of the result would be possible, a win may be granted to the remaining team. The decision whether a match can be evaluated or not is in each case decided by the responsible admin.
6.3.3.
Spamming during a game
3 penalty points for misusing the in-game chat function for excessive spamming in order to irritate the opponent or to disturb the course of the game. The chat function is solely meant for communicating with your opponent.
6.3.4.
Player kicks during a match
4 penalty points. It is forbidden to kick opposing players from the server during a match.
6.3.5.
Modified/wrong server settings
Both parties must check the server settings. Wrong server settings must be corrected before a match. Should the wrong settings be noticed after the game has already begun, they must immediately be corrected. If this is not possible because e.g. the server provider is not willing to make changes, the match may be interrupted in order to file a protest. If the settings concerned are relevant for the course of the game, the match must be restarted as soon as one of the parties wishes it to be.
Should wrong server settings be noticed at any later point in time then both teams are responsible. If possible, the wrong settings must be corrected. The match is, however, only repeated if both teams wish it to be. A completed game that had wrong server settings all along may only be repeated if both teams agree to do so.
Non-relevant server settings:
2 penalty points. Even deviations from the stipulated server settings that have no or near to no influence on the course of the game are penalized.
Game deciding server settings:
4 penalty points if server settings that have a large influence on the course of the game are wrong or have been modified.
6.3.6.
Breaking engagements
Agreements concerning rule 7 that are not complied with are penalized as violations against the according Consoles rule.
6.3.7.
Öffentliches Anprangern
Das öffentliche Anprangern von Spielern und deren Spielweise ist nicht erlaubt. Hierzu gehören auch Veröffentlichungen über Behauptungen wie z.B. ein absichtlich verursachter Lag im Spiel.
1 Vergehen = 1 Strafpunkt
2 Vergehen = 2 Strafpunkte + 1 Woche Bann aus allen Foren
3 Vergehen = 4 Strafpunkte + 1 Monat Bann aus allen Foren + 1 Monat Sperre
Bei weiteren Vergehen wird auf Grundlage vorliegender Fakten entschieden.
6.4.
Deceptions
Attempts to deceive admins or other players with wrong or fake statements, information or data are penalized as follows:
6.4.1.
Fake match
6 penalty points if a match was created for the sole reason of not actually playing but of entering a fake result in order to receive illegitimate points within the ladder.
6.4.2.
Faking results
4 penalty points for entering a fake game result, e.g. when the game was aborted by the opponent or when you do not wish to play the game. If problems should arise that you can not solve amongst yourselves, a protest must always be filed.
Note: If you agree on not playing a match it is forbidden to enter 0:0 or similar as the game result. If no result is entered matches are always deleted seven days after the date the game was scheduled at, excluding compulsory games (e.g. Auto challenger or Cup matches). It is also possible to delete matches yourself, providing both opponents agree to do so. The link for this option is to be found in the match setup of each match.
6.4.4.
Other deceptions
Other attempts of deceiving an admin or another player are penalized with 1-4 penalty points depending on the severity of the case and according to the judgement of the responsible admin.
6.5.
Use of unauthorized players
6.5.1.
New locked players
3 penalty points if a player who has been on the team for less than 10 days takes part in a match, as long the team is older than 20 days. These players are clearly marked as “barred” and “new player” on the Consoles team page.
It is, however, possible for these players to take part in a game if the opposing team agrees beforehand (see rule 7.).
6.5.2.
Barred players
6 penalty points if a barred player participates in any gaming activity. It is not possible to make use of barred players by any form of agreement (rule 7.).
6.5.3.
Unregistered players
3 penalty points if a player who is not listed on the Consoles team page, but is known to have been a member of the team for some time, participates in a game.
6.5.4.
Ringers/Fakers
6 penalty points if a player who is neither listed on the Consoles team page nor a member of the team participates in a game.
6.6.
Missing/wrong game accounts
6.6.1.
Without strong suspicion of faking
3 penalty points if a player’s compulsory game account entry is missing or wrong after a match.
6.6.2.
With strong suspicion of faking
6 penalty points if the player’s compulsory game account entry is missing or wrong after a match and there is additionally a strong suspicion that a faker or ringer took part in the match.
6.7.
Cheating
6.7.1.
Cheating
12 penalty points for the player and 6 penalty points for the team. The use of severe cheats (e.g. aimbot, wallhack, multihack) is penalized with a two year ban from the Consoles Sport League.
If the player, however, concerns himself with the subject actively and intensely, he deserves a second chance. After three weeks the cheater receives the one-off opportunity of handing in an essay on the topic of cheating in multiplayer games. The exact subject of the essay is individually determined. The complete essay must be handed in within 2 weeks after the subject was decided upon. It is then closely surveyed for a week. If it complies with the requirements (form and length) and if its content is convincing, the cheater may receive the chance of rehabilitation. (Further details concerning rehabilitation)
The penalty points for the cheating offence are, in case of rehabilitation, reduced to 7 for the player and 5 for the team.
The cheats in this category are defined in the game specific rules.
6.8.
Multi accounts
As defined in rule 3.1., the possession of several accounts within the Consoles Sport League is specifically prohibited and is penalized with 1-4 penalty points according to the severity of the offence. Additionally, all penalty points are transferred to one account and all other accounts are deleted.
Furthermore it is not permitted to delete an old account in order to open a new one. If you should forget your login password it is always possible to contact the admins via the support form or IRC in order to retrieve your account. It is helpful to enter non-public information in your account, as admins can then confirm your identity more easily should you forget your login data.
6.9.
Declining compulsory challenges
Intense compulsory challenges only become active in ladders with more than 30 participants.
6.9.1.
Normal compulsory challenges
2 penalty points for the challenged if he is positioned within 20 places above the challenger in the same ladder.
6.9.2.
Intense compulsory challenges
3 penalty points for the challenged if both participants are positioned within the top 10 of the same ladder.
6.10.
Other unauthorized offences
6.10.1.

Notes to arrangements
Teams/Players are able to ask details before the match, in order to make arrangements with the opponent. Those arrangements can differ from the Consoles rules in some minor areas, but major variations are not allowed. But every team/player should bear in mind, that the Consoles rules are made, that both parties have the same advantages and disadvantages. It is their own risk, if a team find outs later, that they have been taken in by their opponent by agreeing to this arrangements. If and how game specific (*) rules can be altered by arrangements can be found in the league specific sections. Should there be no game specific rule, then it can’t be changed.
All arrangements between teams in addition to the ESL rules have to be written down in the match comments. The other team has to confirm those arrangements in the comments. To avoid an abuse of the edit function, a third comment has to be written. Please do also keep screenshots and/or logfiles of your arrangements. If you do not fulfill these restrictions any protests or supports concerning those arrangements will be rejected. In the case of doubt a Consoles Admin always should be pulled before to rate whether the arrangements wished from both sides are legal.
Following rules can't be changed by arrangement :
- Score entries of not played games.
- Players which are barred on the basis of penalty points may also should not play after arrangement.
