BF:BC2 Ruleset

1.0 - Gameplay Rules

1.1 - Matches will be played over two rounds with the winner being determined by the team who has the most tickets accumulated from the two rounds.

1.2 - Captains trigger a round live after both teams have stated that they are ready and typed into chat @ready. If a team wants a break of 2 minutes at half time they must call for it as the first round ends or as soon as the round begins before leaving spawn. To restart simply get both captains to type the @ready command again. If neither team calls for a break you may go live on restart. Its your job to be ready for the start of the round, so before leaving your desk for a break you must have your kits ready to start.

1.3 - A team must have at least 8 members and no more than 24 to compete in the league, you can however play out matches with less if you are short. Teams joining more than 8 players at any stage of live gameplay will forfeit that game, players reconnecting due to loss of connection or crashes are to immediately switch to the correct side. All members competing must have their BC2 ingame name added into their CG profile before their match.

1.4 - The server will come up 10 minutes before the Allocated Match time. Teams should try to have all players in the server and ready to go by the designated Match time. If a team has a problem getting 8 players into the server by the Match start time, they have a maximum of 10 minutes after the designated Match time to get their players in the server. If a team does not have 8 players in the server by 10 minutes past the designated match time they either start with the players they have or they forfeit the match.

1.5 - Ingame abuse will not be tolerated, any team communications must be either friendly discussion or coordination between teams. At the request of either teams by stating "no more global" both teams are to cease talking unless you are a captain of the team, any team breaking this rule will have the result of 1 round forfeited.

1.6 - Unlocks are unrestricted, the function is there it just doesnt work serverside.
