General Rules

If a team is blatantly disrespectful, the proper way to deal with it is via support ticket with evidence of any wrong doing.

Uncharted 3 will use the ELO Penalty Points System as found on the Sites GCR.


The following is the ELO Penalty point system to be used on FraggedNation,dealing with ladders, tournaments, and general FN issues.  Evidence will be present before any of the following infractions are given:

Format: Best of 3

1. Rules are subject to change at community request with a 7 day poll, so please be sure to check the forums for any poll often.

2. It is the responsibility of all the users of this ladder to know and understand the rules.

3. By sending or accepting a challenge in the challenge system, you acknowledge that you have read, understand, and agree to abide by the rules posted here. This includes posting or accepting challenges on the Match Finder.

4. Our goal here at the Fragged Nation UC3 Competitive League is to provide you with a place to find fair and competitive matches. In order to accomplish this goal, we will not tolerate players or teams that cause problems or attempt to undermine the positive atmosphere on Fragged Nation. This includes teams that cheat, dispute on purpose, or repeatedly abuse players. Violators will be dealt with accordingly including possible removal from the league. As with all accusations, valid proof must be provided. Please see the proof section below.

SUBSTITUTIONS:

• Teams may rotate players between rounds. Once a player is in a game, they cannot be subbed. The player drop rule applies. 

HOSTING:

• The challenging team will host the first map. The challenged team will host the second map. If a 3rd map occurs, highest ranked team hosts. If none of them are ranked, then challenging team hosts 3rd map.
  
• Host can remain if both teams agree.
  
• 10 Minutes max is allotted between rounds so teams may switch hosts or switch players. 
  
• 10 Minutes rule can be ignored if you have an issue that requires a referee or admin.

NO SHOWS:

• A team has 15 minutes to show-up with the proper number of players and be ready to start the match. Failure to do so will result in a forfeit. Teams are responsible for all scheduled matches.
  
• If you have a No Show issue, you must select to request forfeit option on your match challenge page. If you have any proof, be sure to submit it.
• If a team loses a player during the match or a player has to leave in between the match itself, the team effected can continue to play a man down. However, if you choose to withdraw, the match will go to the opposing team. You must have at least 3 players present to continue. 
• However, if both teams agree to suspend the match and continue it at a later date, that is allowed. Match MUST be complete within 24hrs of the original time/date
• Do not schedule matches you cannot attend. No pity will be given.

PENALTIES:

• Using any banned item or setting after the initial launch results in the automatic forfeit of that round for the offending team. 
  
• The initial launch is defined as within the first 30 seconds or before the first kill. 
  

If caught within that window the round can be replayed.

• Immediate disqualification for intentional suicides / team-killing.
  
• Disconnects (either hosts or players) within the initial launch can be replayed.
  
• If the host disconnects after the initial launch, the match must be replayed unless proof can be provided that it was a forced disconnect. If both teams disagree over when the disconnection took place, video proof must be provided. Complete the match and then report the outcome.

• Teams may not delay the match for more than 10 minutes between each round/map. 
  
• A round is defined as a stopping point during the match when match settings may be altered, and/or players may switch sides or change equipment.
  

LAG TEST:

• A "Lag Test" is an optional test round that doesn't count and uses the standard game settings that will be used during the match. For the lag test, a map that is not scheduled for play must be used. If the game lags during this test, a new host must be chosen. A "Lag Test" can only be done prior to starting the first round. If teams cannot agree on hosts, the match will be canceled and deleted until future notice. 
  
• If you do not run a lag test and the opposing team is having connection issues, then you are not able to use the "they lagged" excuse or a reason to claim they are cheating. You are subject to the consequences of not handling the proper steps in order to ensure proper connection.
• YOU CANNOT PROVE LAG SWITCHING. 

SPECIFIC CONFLICTS:

• Dead Body Glitch: If glitch occurs, then match is suspended and resumed at specific score limit prior to glitch. Score must be noted in Pre-Match Comms so Admin can use as associative proof of event. Please provide cinema for evidence. Teams who do not report this incident effectively are subject to loss of match if not handled correctly.  Subject to case by case basis.
• Intentional Suicides: Automatic loss for map
• Cinema Glitches: These cannot be confirmed to be correct, therefore if a cinema is glitched, we will request the cinema from another person to confirm support ticket. 
• All other glitches MUST BE REPORTED to an Admin ASAP. Situation will be assessed and best practice will be used during circumstance. More than likely, the map will be replayed. 

MAP RULES:

MAP SELECTION & SIDES:

• Challenging team picks 1st map.
• Challenged team picks 2nd map.
• Highest ranked team picks final map. If both teams are unranked, then challenging team picks last map.
• The team without map selection picks Heroes or Villains.
• If a map is tied at the end, replay the map.
• If both teams have DLC maps and hosting team wants to use a DLC map, the map must be played. If teams don't have DLC, then you must chose a standard map instead.
