In order to ensure the competitive integrity of SPC Matches, players must abide by our Anti-Cheat and Hardware Security policy. The full policy can be reviewed at LINK, though a brief synopsis is provided below.

Anti-Cheat Systems
All players must run the MOSS software using Rainbow 6 parameters from at least the beginning of the Round 1 operator ban phase of the first map until the final scoreboard is show on the final map. Players must submit their MOSS files to the designated SPC MOSS File Submission form within 30 minutes of match completion. Moreover, players must avoid restarting their computer for at least 60 minutes following match completion.

Hardware Security
Players must have TPM 2.0 enabled and ready for use and Secure Boot turned on. Players flagged and contacted by SPC Administration may additionally be required to have IOMMU and HVCI/VBS Memory Integrity enabled and running.

PC Analysis and Investigation Scope
If a credible report of cheating is received and corroborated with sufficient evidence a player may be suspended from competition pending an investigation which may include a manual analysis of the player's PC used to compete. This analysis may include a forensic review of hardware device configuration, memory, event logs, and computer file system. Additionally, players may be required to participate in a video call so that Administration may visually verify the contents of a player's computer, including the cables and hardware devices in the area, even if they have been unplugged.

In order to facilitate a smooth and organized tournament, we will maintain strict yet simple Match Scheduling guidelines.

Default Playdays
The default playdays for SWISS will be Monday and Friday at 8pm EST .
The default playdays for PLAYOFFS will be Monday and Friday at 8pm EST .

Teams are permitted to reschedule matches at any time within the timeframes. For example, teams must play their "Monday" game before their Friday game and vice versa.

Enforcement
If teams cannot come to an agreement on a date or time, Administration will enforce the applicable default playday. In the event of a no-show, whichever team shows up with five eligible players in-game at match time will receive the forfeit win. If neither team show up a coin flip will determine the winner of the match, however, both teams will still receive a forfeit for internal discipline purposes. In order to encourage competitive integrity, teams may only forfeit two matches for the duration of KICKSTART . A third forfeit will result in disqualification.

A mandatory Captain's Meeting will occur twice, attendance is only mandatory at one of the two meetings.
