Pub Scrims Policy | Pub Scrims

SECTION — 01

Community Standards

All players are expected to treat opponents, teammates, and staff with respect at all times.
Harassment, hate speech, or discriminatory language of any kind will not be tolerated.
Unsportsmanlike conduct — including excessive trash talk, rage-quitting, or intentional sabotage — may result in disqualification.
Disputes must be raised with tournament staff, not settled through in-game or Discord conflicts.

SECTION — 02

Zero tolerance for cheating. Any player caught using exploits, hacks, or unauthorized modifications will be immediately and permanently banned.
Exploiting known game bugs during tournament play is prohibited unless explicitly permitted in the ruleset.
Match manipulation, including intentional losses or coordinated collusion, will result in bans for all involved parties.
Staff have final authority on all fair play rulings. Decisions are not subject to community vote.

SECTION — 03

Players must be registered members of the Pub Scrims Discord to participate in any tournament.
Each player may only compete for one team per tournament. Roster manipulation is prohibited.
Tournament organizers reserve the right to verify player identities and accounts at any time.
Players found to be smurfing or using alternate accounts may be disqualified and banned.

SECTION — 04

Teams are responsible for scheduling their matches within the designated timeframe.
A team that fails to appear within 10 minutes of the agreed match start time forfeits the match.
Forfeits may be appealed only if documented technical issues or emergencies are reported to staff before the match window closes.
Repeated no-shows may result in removal from future tournaments.

SECTION — 05

Players are encouraged to stream and create content from Pub Scrims events.
If you create content featuring Pub Scrims matches, please credit the community and consider sharing it in the Discord.
Tournament broadcasts may be organized by staff — participants agree to appear in these streams as part of participation.

SECTION — 06

All tournament decisions made by Pub Scrims staff are final unless a formal appeal is submitted within 24 hours of the ruling.
Appeals must be submitted via a designated staff channel in the Discord with evidence.
Abusing the appeals process will result in loss of appeal privileges.
Staff members are volunteers — treat them with the same respect you would any opponent.

SECTION — 07

Violations of this policy may result in warnings, match forfeitures, tournament disqualifications, or permanent bans depending on severity.
Banned players may not compete in any Pub Scrims or partner-hosted events.
Ban appeals may be submitted after 90 days for non-cheating offenses. Cheating bans are permanent and non-negotiable.
