Cosmetics

Players can only use the battle dress uniforms and headgears listed below. All other battle dress uniforms and headgear are banned from use in competitive play:

• Operator’s default skins
• Pro League skins (gold sets)
• Pro teams branded cosmetics
• Esports Programs’ cosmetics

Drone skins & Elite skins are not allowed (including gadgets, excluding animation).

Cosmetics penalties (drone skins, gadget skins, uniforms and headgears)

• 1st Offence: Warning
• 2nd Offence: Round loss
• 3rd Offence: Map loss

This will not be applied retroactively at the end of a map or a match, therefore this needs to be brought to admins immediately if an unallowed skin is observed.

You may request a rehost from your opponent to remove the unallowed skin immediately or at the next round if you do not wish to report it to the admins, which is usually the best way to deal with this situation. If you have such agreement, please don't escalate it further.

Any abuse of the reporting system concerning skins may be penalised.

Anti-Cheat

The following applications are required for participation in the Open Qualifier and any activity that restricts, prohibits or alters their use are expressly forbidden:

MOSS files will have to remain on the player computer for a period of 21 days, untampered, in case of admin request. MOSS check will ONLY be triggered at the request of the Admin team, and NEVER at the request of a team.

Substitution

• No substitution will be allowed between or in ongoing maps except if both teams agree to it and can show the Admin team such approval was given by both teams upon request

• Substitutions should be arranged before a match lobby starts, if you have any issue with it, please open an Admin request BEFORE the "go to lobby" time is over or we cannot guarantee substitution will be approved
