Match Length - A match consists of 21 rounds.

Games will start as near to the Match Time as possible. The latest a game will start is as follows:

· First game start: 5 Minutes after the hour.

This will give clans a maximum of 5 minutes (subject to the discretion of the Match Admin) to join the server initially.

It is up to you to be on the Match Server in time for the game.

Match Colours - From the fixtures page the team on the LEFT will always go BLUE in the first game.

Team size - 5 players.

If a Clan turns up with less than 4 (FOUR) players by the latest starting time then the Match Admin will default the game to the other clan.

If during a game a Clan drops below 4 (FOUR) players a Default will be awarded to the other Clan - overflows are of course excluded from this rule.

Defaults - In the occurrence of a default being given the following will be awarded per game defaulted:

· 3 game points
· 11 Rounds

If a Clan should miss/default 2 league Matches in a season then they will be removed from the League.

Match Scoring

Points will be given out per game as follows:

· 3 points for a win
. 1 point for a draw

· Please note 2 maps will be played each week each scoring 3 points for a win or 1 point for a draw

Match Server details will be given out 5 minutes before a Match Starting time in the Match Channel and will not be given out any earlier so please do not ask.

Match Server details are also shown on the fixtures page. Sometimes it is needed to change server, so please double check these details on the night in IRC.

Swearing, spamming or anything else classed as disruptive in #savage.q3, #admins.q3 and #council is not permitted; you WILL be kicked/banned if you do so.

Please make sure a Clan representative is in #savage.q3 to collect server details.

Please wear your Clan Tag if you are in #savage.q3 If you do not wear your Clan Tag you WILL be kicked.

These details will only be given out in this channel.

Please do NOT join the Match Server until an Admin gives the all clear.

Please do NOT join #admins.q3 or #council unless you are requested to do so by a Council Member or in the case of #admins.q3 you are a Match Admin. If you do then you WILL be kicked.

If the IRC server crashes please use either one of the following:

· IRC.THEDBS.COM
· CHAT.UK.QUAKENET.EU.ORG

Match Server Crashes - This, unfortunately, does sometimes happen.

If it does please go to IRC #savage and await your new Match Server details.

If a spare Match Server cannot be found then the Match will be replayed at a later, mutually convenient date to be decided by the Savage Council.

Following a Server Crash the game will be played from the point of server crash, each team retaining any rounds won.

LPBs - There is NO LPB Limit.

Rate - Should be 10000 or below.

If a Match Admin finds a player with a rate above that they will be asked to lower it.

If the player concerned does not lower their rate within 2 minutes of being asked they WILL be kicked from the game.

Frames per Second - There is NO FPS Limit at this time.

Spamming the server - Will NOT be tolerated.

Please keep all messages to 'Messagemode 2'. It is up to you to find out how to do this.

If a player repeatedly uses 'Messagemode 1' to Spam the Match Server they WILL be kicked.

The q3ra3 Boardroom - Is there for you to say what's on your mind.

However it is NOT there to verbally abuse any of the Savage Council or Admins, if you do you will receive a 2-Match ban and if that does not stop the abuse then your clan will be removed from the league.

If you have a grievance do NOT use the Boardroom. Instead please use the grievance procedures as detailed above.

The Savage Council reserves the right to delete posts that are felt to bring the Savage q3ra3 League into disrepute.

Clan Whoring - Will NOT be tolerated.

A player cannot play for more than one team within the Savage q3ra3 League.

If a player changes Clan there must be a gap of 2 weeks between their last appearance for their old Clan and their first appearance for their new Clan. If it is found that a player has broken this rule the Match they played in will be classed as a Default in favour of the opposing Clan. The player will also receive a 2 match Ban. If a Clan breaks this rule twice they will be kicked from the League.

It is up to the Clan to make sure they know who is playing for them.

A player may play for more than one Clan if it is for another MOD.

Players from clans outside the SavageUK q3ra3 League may play for Savage clans as well as their own clan.

However, such players will be match tied for a period of two WEEKS from the time they join to the time they are eligible to play.

In order to field a new player, SavageUK q3ra3 clans must ensure that they abide by the following:

• The player must be registered on the clan's CAPS members list.
• the player must not be fielded for a period of two weeks from the time they join the SavageUK q3ra3 clan. This applies for all new members irrespective of whether they joined from another SavageUK q3ra3 clan, a non-Savage clan or were unclanned prior to membership.

If a clan is found to be fielding a player who is not on their members list, or within the two week tied period, that clan will be penalised by a three point deduction per incident.

A player may still not play for two clans within SavageUK q3ra3, so if the player's original clan also join the SavageUK q3ra3 League, that player must chose which clan he will play for. He may change his mind, but will be subject to the two match period during which he may not play.

Bots - Will NOT be tolerated.

Bots are easy to spot. If a player is found to be using a Bot they will be banned for LIFE. Bots include Speed, auto-aim bots, health bots, etc...

Proxies - Will NOT be tolerated.

If a player joins a Match Server with a Non-default port they WILL be kicked.

It is up to the player to make sure they connect using the default port.

Auto-synching/Auto- timers - Will NOT be tolerated.

If a player is found to be using an auto-synching timer they will be kicked. - Note by auto-synching we mean the automated team-wide synchronisation of a timed event (Quad spawn, tech spawn, etc..) or the automated starting of a timer.

Hacked .exe Files - Will NOT be tolerated.

If a player is found to be using a hacked .exe file they will be banned for LIFE.

Substitutes - One substitute is allowed on to the Match server, but must not join the pickup area until asked to do so by the match admin.

If a member of a Clan joins a Match Server and is not playing or the designated substitute, they will be asked to leave by the Match Admin. If they do not leave they WILL be kicked.

Spectators - Are NOT allowed on to the server.

Comms - Real-time voice programmes such as Battlefield Communicator and Roger Wilco are permitted.

The Savage UK q3RA3 League reserves the right to change these rules as and when it feels it neccessary.
