CLX Code of Conduct

1. Purpose

All participants in the CLX competitive ecosystem—including players, coaches, managers, team staff, community organizers, and officials—are required to adhere to the highest standards of fair play, respect, sportsmanship, and professionalism. Your behavior reflects not only on you, but on your team and the League. Your actions carry increased visibility and responsibility in these competitive arenas.

2. Core Principles

All participants must uphold the following values:

• Integrity: Compete honestly, without cheating or exploitation
• Respect: Treat all individuals with dignity, regardless of background or skill level
• Fair Play: Follow both the letter and spirit of the rules at all times

• Accountability: Accept responsibility for your actions and words

• No cheating, scripting, macros, exploits, or use of unauthorized third-party software or hardware
• No stream sniping, ghosting, or attempting to spectate your own match
• No intentional feeding, intentional disconnects, or other unsportsmanlike conduct

Acceptable interactions include:

• Good-natured competitive banter that is clearly lighthearted
• Respectful discussion about gameplay, strategies, or results

All participants must:

• Respect League Staff decisions, Referees, and other Officials
• Be punctual and professional in all League-mandated activities
• Cooperate fully with investigations or rule enforcement processes
• Avoid any communication with members of other teams that suggests collusion, match manipulation, or strategic coordination—even as jokes or sarcasm
