07. Miscellaneous Rules:
If ALL players on your team do not record a demo then your team is subject to a forfeit if a problem occurs in the match and an FPSWars Ladder supervisor/admin requests demos to be submitted for review. Demos should be kept for 2 weeks per individual. If they are not requested within 2 weeks then they may be deleted.
It is the responsibility of the Team Captain to make sure ALL of their players know how to record a demo.
Recording a demo:
Open console and type /record demoname
The demoname will be the word match and a 6-digit date format such as 033109 Month/Date/Year. The 6-digit date will be the date of the Match.
Example: /record match033109
Once the Match is over open your console (~ key) and type /stoprecord.
