If both teams agree and ONLY IF BOTH teams agree, a map can be skipped. For example a lot of teams don't think Blindwatch is fair, if both teams agree you may skip that map if it is chosen. (Black shield, blind watch widows court and thieves den usually) MAX ARMOR: You cannot have 100% MAX Armor on a Titan (This will prevent players from surviving three shots from a thorn or four shots from a last word, in other words all players must equally die from the same amount of shots as your opponent would from whatever weapon is being used) HEAVY WEAPON AMMO: NO Heavy Weapon Ammunition(s) of any sort; Do NOT pick up or use heavy at any time! EXOTIC WEAPONS: Exotic Weapons ARE ALLOWED SUB-CLASS: ONLY one sub-class for each shall be used during the entirety of each game: For example if a team is using 3 hunters they must use one Blade-dancer, one Gunslinger, and one Nightstalker EXOTIC ARMOR: NOT ALLOWED at anytime. SUICIDE: NO jumping off the map or killing yourself intentionally at anytime. CLASS-SPECIFIC WEAPONS: NO class-specific weapons including and especially the Exotic TLALOC scout rifle are NOT to be used at anytime. This applies to all class-specific weapons not just the exotic Ones. SPECIAL AMMO UPDATE: Due to the recent changes to special ammo in 3v3 game-modes; Icebreaker, Sidearms, Invective and Touch of Malice (because of the Rescue Mag Proc) shall NOT BE USED ever in the Tournament. QueenBreakers Bow: The Queenbreaker's Bow (Exotic Fusion Rifle Sniper Weapon) is not allowed to be used at all in the Tournament. ShadeStep Glitch: The Shade-Step Glitch isn't necessarily banned (it can be) but you'll lose respect from everyone if you do it. There. I've slightly modified the fargames.tv rules (largest tourney)
