Point Pushing is when you report losses without actually playing the matches.If you are found to be doing this you will be banned for a month and all of the matches will be voided.

Spamming Clans TS/Vent During A Match:
Spamming of a clans Teamspeak or Ventrilo is a banable offense as it directly relates to HPT. In order for a punishment to be given, substantial proof must be provided. Each incident will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis.

[size=7]Rule # 3 ::: Playing a Match:[/size]

Agreed Matches:
If after making an agreement a clan refuses to play, make a thread in the Agreed HPT Match Section. From the time that it is posted the opposing team has 24 hours to play it. Both clans must give their best effort to get the match played. If one clan declines to play after the24 hours has passed, it will be ARed against them. If both teams make a good effort to contact each other, the match may be voided or an extension may be granted. When posting attempted contacts, You MUST post attempts with the opposing player/clan responding to you refusing to play. If a player is online and is not responding, you must give them the URL to the forums and agreement. Admins can use their best judgment to decide to give the AR or to void the agreement.

Agreeing to Lo3:
A match can only be started if both clans agree to start the match. The hosting clan must ask the visiting clan "Lo3 for HPT?" and receive a confirmation of nothing else but "Agreed for Lo3." from the visiting clan. The roles in this instance are not limited and either clan may ask and or confirm.

Capping Ping Limit:
Warriors found with pings over 400 in a match may not cap. If your ping exceed sits ongoing normality whilst capping and video proof is submitted action will be taken.

Cussing, Racism, and Flaming:
HPT has zero tolerance for cussing, racism, and flaming. If you are caught doing any of the sort you will be banned for a week. This rule goes into effect as soon as you enter a server for an HPT match and until you leave.

Hacking:
Any warrior found to be using hacks of any sort will be banned. The ban length will be determined by the admins.

Home Dedicated Servers:
May not be used.

Leaving/Disconnecting in a Match:
If you lag out or have a problem with Halo to where it causes you to leave the server you have a 2 minute grace period to get back in.

You CANNOT leave a server in order to avoid a loss. If you leave at the very end of a match to avoid losing in a team slayer, punishment will be dealt upon you based on the admins decisions.


Matches Per Day:
You can play as many matches as you want. However you can only play 10 matches against a single clan a day.

Match Videos Request:
Any clan who suspects that the opposing clan or a warrior from that clan was hacking should ask the opposing clan or individual warrior to upload their videos. A post must be made within 2 hours of the match ID being reported

Example: clan B beats clan A
If Clan A request avid then clan b has 2 hours from that post tore-requestspecfic vids. Ifthere is no re-request then it is up toclan a ( theorignal requesters)as to whose vid they choose to uploadbut they mustupload the sameamount of vids requested.

If the requesting clan (clan A) uploads their vid but the other clan (clan B) does not, then the match gets reversed.

If the requested clan (clan B) uploads their vids but the requesting clan (clan A) does not, then the match stands.

If neither clan gets their videos up in full, then the match stands and the warriors who failed to upload will receive point deductions.

If there is no Re-request then the point deduction goes to whomever is the boss or captian of the clan and in the match.

If no captain or boss played in the match, the the point deduction goes to whomever the admins sees fit to give it to.

Clans have 30 minutes after the completion of the match to report their loss. Failure to do so will result in a 500 point deduction. If a clan refuses to report please make a post in the "Non-Report" section. Please follow the guildlines stickied at the top of the forum and make sure to have the "Agreement" and "Live on 3 for HPT" the "Post Carnage Report".

Match Setup:
When setting up an HPT match on xfire you must include the clan tags, game size, number of matches, which server and the location, game choice, team color, and it must say that it is for an HPT match.

The match proposal must be confirmed with nothing but, "Agreed to HPT." Screenshots of the conversation in order to request 24hrs to play must show the username of the x-fire to be valid.
