I really don't see an easy way for this to be enforced. Sure, it is a real pain in the ass when people team up to win these events that are supposed to be solo but how are we supposed to enforce a rule that prohibits something we are probably never going to be able to prove?

We can't warn people on hunches or "I think these guys are teaming", so many false punishments would be handed out.

I don't really think that's a good excuse to not enforce a rule like this though, because so so so many people blatantly team and there's no two ways about it, yeah maybe some cases would be a misunderstanding but I feel like that applies to a lot of other rules we currently enforce.

It is a good excuse because we shouldn't be punishing people unless we can back up our claims with evidence. How is it fair to be punishing people on a hunch or "blatant" teaming when there is almost no easy way to prove it?

For example, Vego's idea is good in premise, but what do you do when people team in a private discord/skype/teamspeak? It could have just been coincidence that X, Y or Z had occurred which made Player A and B look like they were teaming.

I'm telling you bud, adding this rule would be a bad idea.

I see what you mean but I do think something should be done about teaming as it's just completely unfair on everyone else and yeah maybe what Vego said could be good as obviously they could keep teaming through voice or screenshare but it would make it a lot harder imo.

This is in a King of the hill event, A and B are both banker and the only bankers in the server. Player A in in the hill and player B is shooting everyone that is outside the hill

I'm going to suggest a rule in the next meeting and see what the rest of the lead team thinks of it. Here's the draft I have so far:

1.12 Teaming in Events - do not work with other players in events to gain an unfair advantage. You may join events that your friends are participating in however, you should not intentionally avoid killing them or otherwise act in a way to give them an unfair advantage over others.
