6)Whether the map is played on Day or Night will be determined by the Attacking clan. (This Only applies to maps who have the option to change whether it is played as night or day. Combined Assault Maps do not qualify and will be played as the default setting)
7)The sides for all matches will be determined by the defending clan.
(EX: If Clan A is attacking Clan B @ Anchorage, Clan A decides whether it is Anchorage Control, Anchorage Demo, or Anchorage Suppression. Clan B will the get to decide what side they want to play as on that map.)

Attacking and Defending:
1)A clan MUST attack one available territory per week.
2)Clans Must attack a territory on the opposing regions side until they own a territory in that region. (Ex: A clan from the Revolutionary side cannot attack another Revolutionary clan if they do not already hold a territory in the Monarch Region)
3)Clans also CANNOT attack a clan in their own Government that does not own a territory in the opposing region.
4)If an attacking clan is victorious they will acquire the said territory and be given until the next meeting to reconfigure there soldier placement throughout there territories and it will be stuck in that placement until there next attack/defense.
5)If the defending clan losses their territory they will retain their amount of soldiers to redistribute to their remaining territories unless they were defeated by a sweep.

Treachery:
1)Treachery is when a clan commits treason by attacking a clan in their own government.
2)Every clan starts out with helicopters that are provided by their goverment so they may attack ANY territory still owner by the opposing government.
3)Once a clan commits "Treason" their goverment wil cut them off from the use of helicopters UNTIL that clan has commited 3 successful attacks on the opposing government.
4)If a clan commits treason and has not redeemed themselves by commiting 3 successful atack against the opposing government without attacking their own former government that clan may only attack the territories touching the territory they already own.

Glitching and Cheating:
1)No glitching or cheating of any form will be tolerated.
2)Any clan proven to be glitching or cheating during a tournament war will be immediately removed from the tournament and any territories they may hold will be deemed “DEAD”
3)We consider glitching to be performing an action that is suppose to be impossible to do in game such as: Walking through walls, Going underneath the map, Shooting through walls.
4)Cheating will also be considered using any form of out of game and in-game options to gain an advantage that is not offered by the game itself for that purpose. Examples include: Using any in-game or out-of-game messaging service to increase communication, Having a player sit in the lobby during the game so that the opposing team cant get there final player in the match, having a person enter completely into the game on the opposing teams side or having any member in the war who is not on your submitted roster.

Quick Sniping

1)Quick Sniping is BANNED from use in CHAOS TACTICS.
2)Quick Sniping will be defined as jumping in the air and scoping in with a Sniper Rifle and firing your rifle before or during hitting the ground. If the player jumps, hits the ground, then starts to straffe before taking the shot it will not be considered Quick Sniping.
3)The only way to prove quicksniping will be video proof, OR to call in a moderator/admin to come in and witness the rest of the match.
4)If a clan is proven to be quick sniping they will be given 2 warnings in which they will lose a round for the first warning. And a Loss of the match for the second warning (Even if it there first warning in that match the previous warning is still counted)
5)If a clan is given warnings in more than 2 seperate wars on the third offense they will be automatically removed from the tournament.

3) 1 round will be given to the opposing team for every round following if the player does not leave, change character and come back. This player CANNOT wait until they die to do so.
4) Leaving the match DOES apply even if it is a suppression and could cause you to lose that round. To prevent this please make sure all players are aware so that you will not have to foriet that round.

Trash Talking
1) Trashtalking is treated as an individual offense.
2) If a player is trashtalking, being racist, gender biased, or degrading in anyway to the opposing team or the CT staff they will be warned 1 time and that warning will apply to EVERYONE in the room.

The tiebreaker will be either Killingfields or Harvester Demo depending on what territories are being played as the other 4 maps.


Reporting a Glitch:
1) All claims must have PROOF. Proof may include a picture (if it is an obvious glitch such as someoe being in a wall or on a roof they shouldnt be) OR a Video for those reporting things such as soft spotting and quicksniping. The proof must CLEARLY show the person performing the action.
2) All reports are to be made within 24 hours of the match taking place via PM to one of the admins.
3) If there is a problem with the roster please understand that if you green up in the lobby with that person being there you are agreeing to playing with them throughout the ENTIRE match. If the player joins mid game you have 2 rounds to ask them to leave and if they do not then take a picture of you asking for them to leave and a picture of the following round with the player still in the room. With no ref present it will become a forfiet of the match in question if a ruling is made in favor of the clan submitting the proof.
