Regulations -
1. The spot must not provide use of a one-way mirror effect (A one-way mirror effect is when you are able to see/shoot through an object that is normally solid when viewed from the intended angle).
The few exceptions to this are when there is an unavoidable mirror effect due to the error of the map creator(s). Use proper judgement and do not exploit these mistakes.
2. The spot must be able to be reached without stacking more then two players on top of each other. To clarify, it is legal to stack two players in another area that was reach by initially stacking two players, it is only illegal when you stack three or more players on top of one another.
3. The spot must not have been reached by traversing through a field of damage spots. If you travel through an area of damage spots at any time when accessing a spot, it the round will be forfeit. Use of a spot is still legal if you take an alternate access route that does not require you to cross a field of damage spots. Pleae note: walking along the very edge of a building to avoid a field of damage spots is exploiting a mistake in the games positioning programming, and will be considered illegal.
4. You must be able to both be standing and crouching without intercepting with damage spots. If you are unable to stand due to lack of room (e.g. there is an obstacle above you, blocking you), disregard this rule.
5. The spot must not involve lagging into a (invisible) wall.
In regard to the mexico alley boost: This boost is legal, however it is only legal up to the roof just above bridge/ before the scaffolding. Jumping onto the box on said roof or going any further is considered illegal.
The following methods of movement are banned:
• Lag Jumping (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V8z6IxzJCx8)
• Triple Jumping/Flying (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WuqO8st6oUM)
• Slingshot (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPwYSVfmcn8#t=2m40s)
• Any form of FPS manipulation (Screenshot peeking, flash stepping, etc.)

What is the point of using your anti-cheat over Bandicam? Your anti-cheat just takes pictures which doesn't even help alleviate the cheater problem if there was to be one.
I don't know who you talked to, but that's only partially how our system works.
OT: We will be hosting another draft this Saturday! Check the forums for more information. -

Problem with my team page
K I thought it was just the site that was down at first yesterday, but I clicked on other teams and they seem to be fine except for mine:
It's only my team page that seems to be down. Some coding messed up the syntax on the directory or something so could a site admin help fix this as I need to update rosters and what not thank you.
