• Not wearing clothing with offensive or obscene imagery/language
• Not engaging in violent or harassing behavior of any type

Furthermore, any conduct or behavior rules not only apply to the treatment of fellow players, RGL administration, production, and staff, but also of any LAN venue staff. Any failure to comply with these rules will result in harsher penalties than online events and will depend on the severity of the infraction. These penalties will largely remain up to admin discretion, but can include:

• League bans, severity dependent on the specific infraction
• Immediate playoff expulsion
• Fines result in the reduction of total winnings

Please note that alongside treating others with respect, players are also expected to treat any equipment and hardware with respect, and to do their best to keep it in the state it was provided in.
