What does the UKeSA consider cheating?

Using any kind of cheat is STRICTLY FORBIDDEN. UKeSA operates a zero tolerance policy for cheating.

Abusing bugs and glitches (including map, game and engine bugs) is classed as cheating. Many glitches can be found in individual game rule sets.

Inappropriate decal "sprays" in-game are punishable at an admins discretion.

Admins reserve the right to discipline anybody found to be "scripting" unsportsmanlike conduct such as bunnyhop, no-recoil or burstfire. Please note that using buy scripts and other legal binds is allowed.

VAC must be enabled for all Half Life and Half Life 2 modifications. If there are issues with VAC availability, clans are within their rights to reschedule a match.

All PB enabled game servers must be streamed through Punkbusted, PBbans, or game-violations for all associated gametypes (please refer to your game specific rules for clarification). Alternatively please refer to PunksBusted Streaming Info as an aid in setting up Punkbusted streaming, our preferred partner.

What happens if someone is cheating?

If you suspect a player/squad of cheating during a UKeSA match, contact an admin in #edadmins on quakenet, or alternatively by submitting a conflict. Please provide a URL so that UKeSA may download any evidence that you have to support your claim. Users are encouraged to use their Enemy Down account to upload photo or video evidence. Please note: It is a Squad Leaders and Managers responsibility to ensure that their team remains cheat-free.

If accusing a team or squad of cheating, valid proof must be provided.

Conversations between users is not considered proof. This includes e-mails, instant messaging, and IRC discussions.

In the event where a cheating accusation is confirmed then the squad will be deducted league points or removed from the league. Squads caught cheating in Cups will be removed. Further punishment will be at the discretion of the UKeSA.
