Rules

The following rules should be obvious and selfevident but are listed nonetheless. It is impossible to list all imaginable offenses, hence the "Do not act lame" rule.
  1. Do not act lame, no matter if you are signed or not
  2. Use a nick similar to your irc nick - will make picking fair teams easier
  3. You must be at the server within 5 minutes, after which any other player may take your place
  4. Once a captain has picked the first player no late-joiners may play
  5. If you are unable to play your replacement must be at the server before the same 5 minute deadline
  6. Once a player has accepted to sub he is regarded as a signed player
  7. Always stay the entire match
  8. If you must leave a match, get a sub by writing "1 needed at 208.100.42.50:27960 for ctf/tdm" in #uscpmpickup
  9. Do not leave before your sub is on the server and ready to join
  10. 999 disconnects are regarded as regular disconnects, unless the player rejoins server as soon as possible
  11. If anyone breaks the rules and a channel operator is available, then a temporary ban will be made
  12. Post-game whine will not be tolerated in game or in channel. First offense will result in kick from channel and second offense will result in 24 hour ban.
