9.4. Data and Records
A screenshot of the on-screen results must be made of every game that is played. The screenshots must be uploaded onto the page with the match details as soon as possible after the game has ended.
One screenshot showing each result (e.g. per half or map) is needed and can be uploaded by either the winners or the losers.
Non-existent screenshots lead to the assumption of a so-called “fake match”, a match that never took place. The screenshots must be uploaded within 24 hours after the game ends. They are to be kept for at least 14 days and must be presented to a player, or an admin at request.
Taking a screenshot is possible :
- Just pushing "PrtnScrn" button on the keyboard (Printscreen) : it creates a BMP file in avagame/ScreenShots, the screens have to be converted to JPG or ZIPPED to be posted on ESL site
- Using ESLWIRE screen's capture feature
- FRAPS software (fraps.com).
- XFire (xfire.com)
If a team wants to report any kind of cheating/hacking of the opponent team , use of FRAPS is highly recommended to provide a video as proof.
9.5. AVA InGame Nickname Change
The AVA InGame Nickname, that has to be inserted into player's profile,is the nickname showed in game, not the login name typed by users to sign into the game.
In order to allow each player taking part to available competitions, a AVAInGame Nickname is needed: it's possible to type it by clicking on Gameaccounts(SteamID, ...) link from profile's Settings.
It's possible to request a maximum of 1 change every month. This range oftime's calculation will start beginning from first AVA InGame Nickname request. Any further GameAccount change request submitted before 1 months deadline willbe rejected. Anyhow, particular and/or special cases could be taken into account by responsible Admin.
Between these:-
- first GameAccount add
- errors typing nickname (any error will be carefully checked by Admin Team before being validated)
- eventual bugs
