It has been brought to my attention by Barker of the Top 10 Tournament League that TTT has set up a "Code of Conduct" which participating clans can adhere on a voluntary basis to signal their willingness to follow this Code of Conduct in clan matches. This Code of Conduct is laid out as followed (quoted from the website):
My clan agrees to make a "best faith effort" to not do any of the below in matches against clans who also agree to not do the below:
1.Excessive spam at enemy respawns (1 gas/nail/etc grenade is not excessive spam)
2.Turtling (significantly increased defense after obtaining a lead: 5 defense out of 8 or 9 is not turtling).
3.Excessive
chasing of enemy offense (chasing, for instance, is when the red team’s
offense players chase incoming blue offense back to or into the red
base while shooting the blue offense players in the back; defense
fighting enemies is never chasing; furthermore, when a team’s flag is
in motion or moved to an exposed spot, expect chasing, spamming, and
generally all hell to break lose).
4.Constant/intentional blocking
of elevators/teleportals to make them unusable when enemies try to use
them (do be aware your opponents have as much right to use the
elevators as you do; defending an elevator by putting a dispenser,
etc., nearby is not blocking the elevator as long as it can go up/down
properly).
More details and how the CoC is handled can be found here.
I want to congratulate TTT for this effort to improve sportsmanship in clan matches and for trying to show that competetive gameplay is possible without an "anything goes"-mentality, and for the same reason my respect to all clans adhering to this Code of Conduct.
