Introducing Season 8, part 3: More Prizes, More News, More Bans
October 8, 2010
Welcome to another great part of the Season 8 revelations. The title gives it away a little, but we forgot to mention one final thing: we have more prizes. For whom, we hear you ask? Well, for everyone of course!
Considering there are winners in all divisions, we’re thrilled to announce that Valve will be providing us with some great in-game community prizes for everyone participating in Season 8 to have a shot at! We know you’re curious to know more about these prizes, so keep checking ETF2L for more information, and be sure to Sign Up!
Rule page updates
First off, for maximum clarity and to solve future Season schedule problems we would like to make our make our provisional Season schedule clear. Season 9 will start in the middle of January and end in the middle of April. Season 10 will start early in May and end early in July.
We’ve updated the Rule Page with the Season 8 rules. You will notice the familiar rulings like the Golden Cap rule and the Week 9 transfer rule. We are also delighted to announce that both the Fish and the Frying pan will be allowed in Season 8. Be sure have a look at the rule pages:
Banning Policy
We are also making some improvements to the banning system. As a new guideline, bans cannot end during a Season anymore and will be rounded off to end before or after a Season if they do. The ETF2L punishment for cheating (aimbot, wallhack, esp etc) is a 1 year ban from all ETF2L competitions. All bans, including older ones, will use this rounded 1 year format.
We have also addressed the issue of players with multiple accounts. If someone is found guilty of cheating, then all their accounts will be banned for the same length with the same penalties applied for matches featuring these accounts. If someone is found to have played in multiple teams under multiple ETF2L accounts but hasn’t cheated, then the accounts will both be banned for 4 months, then one account will be unbanned (it will be up to the owner which account is unbanned). The others will then be permanently closed. Returning under a new account while banned will be punished by an additional year being added to the original ban time, again rounded off so it does not end mid-Season.
Additionally, we have the following bans to announce:
-
Cloak/aveN – Aimbot – 1 year ban -
Sm1le/Jusceee – Second account sm1le – 1 year ban -
Dny – Found implicit in the Boomeh case – 1 season ban
