Regarding scripts and hacks

• Direct hotkey remapping. To swap individual keys for other keys, simple programs such as Autohotkeys, Keyboard apps, or CELO.
  However these apps must not be used to create macros which automate tasks.
  
• Graphics processing software to improve sharpness and contrast levels within Company of Heroes based on the games graphical output. Either through GPU Software or ReShade mods.
  
• Any player that uses any script, macro, application or hack to gain a competitive advantage including but not limited to changing in-game statistics, removing fog of war, etc. Will be met with a permanent ban from all tournament activity and a permanent game ban across all identities will be requested.
  

Game exploits

• Impeding enemy with half built defensive structures aka 'ghosting'
  
• Any unit attribute changed based on bug exploitation
  
• Capwalking - where one model of a capping squad is sent forward to next point
  
• Building from inside garrison to remove building under fire penalty
  
• Using bugs to phase through walls
  
• OKW med kits bugs to get improved usage
  
• Exploiting the game lobby in order to use commanders not intended for a faction.
  
• Any exploit that is not currently known to the organisers but is definitely derived from a bug and is obvious in its intentional use is de facto included in the above list.
  

Bugsplats

• If there is a bugsplat within 7 minutes, the game will be replayed. Unless, something along these lines occur:
  
• Player 1 "bugsplats" after 5 min after losing whole his army except one pioneer. In such a case or similar, the referees will make a decision.
  
• Should there be a bugsplat after 7 minutes, then one of following things happen. If both teams agree, the game will be replayed. If not and if there is a clear winner according to the referees, that team will be given the win. In case there isn't a clear winner, the referees again make a decision. However, the player that bugsplatted has to screenshot the crash with windows time/date showing! There must be a saved replay of the bugsplatted match for proof.
