Guidelines

Every ranked run follows the speedrun.com Minecraft Any% Glitchless rules where they apply. MCSR Teams adds a few rules of its own because teammates share a run.

• Don't use disallowed glitches

  Glitches banned under the speedrun.com Any% Glitchless rules are banned here too.

  PenaltyQueue ban, from days to permanent.

• Only the player in control plays

  In Swap, the teammate holding the body is the only one giving inputs. Watchers can talk, use F5 and the F3 pie chart, but must not control the game any other way, such as remote desktop, shared keyboards or macros.

  PenaltyQueue ban for the whole team, from days to permanent.

• Don't abuse MCSR Teams bugs

  If you find a bug that gives an advantage (a desync, a duplicated item after a swap, a clock that doesn't pause), report it instead of using it.

  PenaltyBan from MCSR Teams, from 30 days to permanent.

• No cheats or modified clients

  Only the mods in the official packs, or mods the packs list as allowed, may run alongside MCSR Teams. Injecting cheats or tampering with the mod is never allowed.

  PenaltyPermanent ban.

Ratings only work if they reflect how good each player really is. Don't push your Elo, or anyone else's, away from your actual skill.

• No smurfing

  Don't throw matches or stop trying to drag your Elo down so you face easier teams. That includes quitting after the dragon dies instead of finishing.

  PenaltyAutomatic queue timeouts; repeated cases get a queue ban.

• Play on your own account

  Every player in a match plays their own turns on their own Minecraft account. A stronger friend playing your turns, or your whole run, is account sharing.

  PenaltyQueue ban for everyone involved, from 30 days to permanent.

• No alt accounts

  Don't switch between several accounts to queue ranked. Moving to a new account for good, for example after losing access, is fine; tell the staff on Discord.

  PenaltyQueue ban for the main account; permanent queue ban for the alts.

• Don't idle through your turns

  Queuing and then going AFK, or standing still through your Swap turns so your teammate carries the run, ruins the match for three other people.

  PenaltyQueue ban, from 1 to 7 days.

• No match fixing or boosting

  Don't arrange results with the other team, and don't use parties to carry a friend's rating far above their skill. Party queue limits by Elo exist for a reason; don't work around them.

  PenaltyQueue ban for everyone involved, from days to permanent; fixed matches may be reverted.

A team only works if everyone stays. Disconnects happen, and the game is built for them: if the player in control drops, there's a 10 second grace period, then the turn passes on and they can rejoin.

• Don't leave or forfeit habitually

  Leaving matches early or forfeiting over and over hurts your teammate as much as your opponents.

  PenaltyAutomatic queue timeouts that get longer each time.

Respect your teammate and your opponents. Good sportsmanship is all that's expected.

• Keep chat clean

  No slurs, harassment, discrimination, excessive toxicity or NSFW content in team chat, all chat or direct messages.

  PenaltyChat mute, from 7 days to permanent. Serious cases can hide a player from the game and the leaderboards.

• No stream sniping

  Don't watch the other team's stream during a match to learn their seed progress or route.

  PenaltyQueue ban, from 7 to 30 days.
