FACEIT 1v1 Tournament Rules Welcome to the 1v1 Tournament. Below you will find the official rules and regulations binding for every participant. Joining the competition constitutes full acceptance of these terms.

1. Tournament Format Game Mode: 1v1 (Aim Map).

Bracket Type: Single Elimination – losing a match results in immediate elimination from the tournament.

Match Format: All matches throughout the entire tournament (including the Grand Finals) are played as Best of 1 (BO1).

Join Time Limit: Players have exactly 5 minutes to connect to the server once it is configured and launched by FACEIT. Failure to do so will result in an automatic forfeit (walkover).

2. Map Selection (Veto Process) The map banning process is automated through the FACEIT match room chat:

Players take turns banning maps (Player A bans, Player B bans, and so on).

The last remaining map that has not been banned will be the map played for the match.

3. In-Game Rules & Gameplay Knife Round: The first round of the match is a knife round. The winner chooses the starting side (Counter-Terrorists or Terrorists).

Match Win Condition: The first player to reach 16 rounds (under standard MR15 configuration) or according to the default FACEIT tournament server settings wins the match.

4. Anti-Cheat & Fair Play Anti-Cheat Policy: Usage of the official FACEIT Anti-Cheat client is mandatory. Players without the client active will not be able to join the server and will face disqualification.

Cheating & Scripts: Any form of external assistance, including but not limited to aimbots, wallhacks, sound hacks, or bhop scripts, is strictly forbidden and will result in a permanent ban.

Bug Exploitation: Exploiting map glitches, "pixel walking", or solo-boosting into unintended textures or out-of-bounds areas is prohibited.

Behavior & Toxicity: Insulting opponents, spamming text/voice chat, or any form of unsportsmanlike conduct may result in immediate disqualification by a tournament administrator.

5. Technical Issues & Pauses Disconnections: If a player disconnects mid-match, the game must be paused immediately using the !pause command.

Reconnection Limit: The disconnected player has a maximum of 5 minutes to reconnect. If they fail to return within this window, the opponent is entitled to claim a technical victory via an admin request.

Server Issues: In case of FACEIT server crashes or critical lag, players must immediately contact FACEIT Live Support or the tournament organizer through the match room.

6. Administration & Payouts The Tournament Administrator holds the final decision-making power for any disputes or situations not explicitly covered in this rulebook.

Prizes (if applicable) will be distributed after a thorough anti-cheat and demo verification process within 48 hours of tournament completion.

Good luck, have fun, and let the best player win!
