Sportsmanship Policy

This policy is designed to keep honour and decency to the cup and ensure that all players have fun and enjoy themselves without being pestered or harassed by other players. This is strictly designed to ensure that the peace is kept. We promote the highest level of gameplay and sportsmanship. It is therefore our wish that players solve conflicts in the spirit of fair play. All staff, including server admins, team leaders are expected to be role models demonstrating sportsmanship at all times.

Un-Sportsmanlike conduct during, prior or after matches will not be tolerated. We suggest that all teams conduct themselves accordingly. If a player or team is found guilty of unsportsmanlike conduct, punishment will be issued.

The following behaviour is unacceptable during the contest (from start to finish) and specially during a match:

  • Berating opposing players or anyone involved in the tourney,
  • Insulting, name calling, laughing at or any other gesture or obscene actions during a match against opposing players or anyone involved in the tourney, will NOT be tolerated,
  • Any foul language during play or in player aliases/global ID's.

Violations can lead to; full disqualification without refund of entry fee, or if winning team is found guilty then the reward will be split to the second place, depending on vote. A temporary or permanent ban from all future Flex's Fortress Cups.
