Example: A Player has a 1 week ban. After their ban expires, they go 1 month with no bans. Their next ban will not increase to 1 month, it will stay 1 week. If they go a 2nd month in a row with no bans, their next ban would be 1 day.

GENERAL QUEUEING INFO


• You will get put in a game based on the order you joined the queue
• If you leave your queue, FOR ANY REASON, you will lose your spot *
• Once the queue hits 10 Players, you are committed to that game. Leaving queue will result in a ban.**
• The Hosting Admin will ensure everyone plays in the order they've joined
• Once a Player has played a match, they will retain their active game spot until they choose to stop playing

• More specifically, they do not have to re-queue. They will go into the #10man-lastgame Queue where they are guaranteed a spot in the next match **

* If you need to restart PC or something that will be quick (~5 minutes), tell an admin ( @thesmallcounsel ) why & ask them to save your spot.

** If the queue hits 10 Players but 1 Player leaves, the remaining 9 Players are still committed to that queue as if the game has started. 10 Minutes will be allowed to find a sub before players can leave the game without punishment.

QUEUEING - NO ACTIVE GAMES


1. Join any active/available Queue Voice Channel
2. When 10 Players have joined, Join 10 Man Server #1 within 5 minutes

• If 1 queue is full, join the 2nd queue.

• You may be used as a sub in the 1st game (if needed)
• You will be ensured a spot when your queue fills for a 2nd game
• When the 1st game ends, if 2nd queue hasn't filled, you will get a spot in the next game based on the order you joined.

QUEUEING - 1 OR MORE ACTIVE GAMES


1. Join any active/available Queue Voice Channel
2. One of two scenario's should happen:

1. 10 Players will join the queue and a 2nd game will start


2. The 1st game finishes before a 2nd Queue fills & the 2nd queue has 9 or Less Players


• Players from the finished game move into #10man-lastgame
• Players from the finished game are guaranteed a spot in the next game if they choose
• An admin will fill any open spots with Players from VIP Queue or Queue #2 in the order they joined
• Remaining players in Queue #2 will continue queueing

QUEUE HOSTING PRIORITY - [INFO FOR ADMINS]


• Hosting Priority goes to the Highest Ranking Admin in the queue.
• The only admin running commands should be the host (configs execution, map pool, team moving in discord, etc.)
• In the event there are 2 or more of equal ranks that could be Host, Hosting Priority goes to whoever was in the queue FIRST.

• Hosting Priority Roles are as follows:

1. The Iron Throne
2. Hand of the King
3. The Small Counsel
4. 10 Man Counsel

• Active VIP's Only (with Discord role)
• Still must meet 10 Man Requirements

1. VIPs can join "10 Man VIP Queue"


2. VIPs will get the 1st Open Spot in the Next Game


• Essentially skip waiting their turn in the existing waiting queue
• If multiple VIPs in queue, they get Open Spots in the order they joined the VIP queue


3. VIPs DO NOT get to jump in on a filled Queue (10 Players) that has not yet started


• This means no one will get kicked from a current queue for them

1. There are no active games & there are less than 10 Players in the Queue


• VIPs should join main queue, priority is not useful in this situation.


2. There are no active games & there are 10 Players in the Queue


• VIPs should join the VIP Queue.
• VIPs will be guaranteed the 1st spot available either in the next Queue, as a sub for the full Queue, or when a spot opens after that game finishes (if a 2nd game hasn't started)


3. There is an active game & less than 10 Players in Queue #2


• VIPs should join the VIP Queue
• VIPs will be guaranteed a spot when the next Queue fills or when a spot opens in the on-going game upon it's completion, whichever event happens first.*

* In the event that the 2nd Queue fills up to 10 before the 1st game ends, a VIP would take the spot of the 10th person to join the 2nd Queue, ensuring the VIP gets in the game. That 10th person would be moved to a new/empty Queue. This would continue to #9, #8, etc. if there are multiple VIPs in VIP Queue.


4. There is 1 or more active games & there are 10 Players in a Queue


• VIPs should join the VIP queue
• VIPs will be guaranteed the first available spot after a game ends, as a sub in an on-going game, or if another Queue fills, whichever comes first.
• VIPs will NOT take the spot of someone in the current Queue of 10 (unless someone leaves, then VIP has priority on that spot)

1. Execute "Captains" config (!rcon exec captains)
2. Captains will Knife. Winner gets 1st Pick. Loser gets 1st Veto
3. Execute !get5 -> Option 2
4. Type !veto
• Captain 1 = Knife Winner (1st Pick)
• Captain 2 = Knife Loser (2nd Pick)
5. Go through 'Map Veto'
6. Go through 'Picks Phase'
7. Captain 1 will be prompted to change map
8. Ready up and Play

In the event you need to restore a match to the last played round, you have 2 Options:

1. !get5 menu has an option to restore last round. I've never used it so I'm not sure if it works, but it's there to try.

2. CSGO has built in round restore commands, it's a 2 part thing (this is what I personally use):

• First, in console, type 'sm_rcon mp_backup_restore_list_files' ; this will spool a list of the latest backup files, with the most recent round listed first (e.g - backup_round48.txt). Copy that whole name, including .txt
• Next, you use that backup_round text file, in conjunction with the cvar 'sm_rcon mp_backup_restore_load_file' , and the game will load that file and pause the match, pending .unpause (e.g - sm_rcon mp_backup_restore_load_file backup_round48.txt)
