Rulebook overview
Why this exists here
Section titled “Why this exists here”The marketing site explains the league and hub.kanaliiga.fi runs it. Neither
is the right home for detailed competition rules, so the rulebook lives here.
Finishing it matters beyond tidiness. Rulebook readiness is one of the signals
feeding the go/no-go decision, the Discord #rulebook-questions
channel is gated on it, and roster and substitute questions elsewhere in the
project are deferred to it.
Base ruleset
Section titled “Base ruleset”Fullstack League uses the SEUL ry CS2 tournament rules as its base. This rulebook contains additions and exceptions to those rules.
The settings carried over from that base:
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Rounds | MR12 (max rounds 12) |
| Overtime money | 12 500 |
| Map veto | Conducted in the FACEIT match room |
| Tactical timeouts | 4 × 30 seconds |
| POV demos | Not required from players |
Precedence
Section titled “Precedence”Where sources conflict, the higher entry wins:
- Rules published for the specific season being played.
- This rulebook.
- SEUL ry CS2 tournament rules.
- FACEIT platform rules, where everything above is silent.
Separately, where the hub’s recorded state and someone’s recollection differ, the hub is the source of truth for results, standings and rosters.
Where these rules came from
Section titled “Where these rules came from”Much of this rulebook is adapted from the Kanaliiga CS2 rulebook and Captain’s Manual, refined over 18 seasons of actually running CS in Finland. Rules specific to Kanaliiga being a company league — employment requirements, combined SME teams, borrowing players between an organisation’s teams — are deliberately not carried over, because Fullstack League is open to anyone.
Fullstack League is an independent league and is not run by, affiliated with or owned by Kanaliiga. It uses their Hub platform, and their rules as a starting point, and that’s the extent of it.
Language
Section titled “Language”English is the primary operating language, with Finnish support in the community where needed. If a translation and the English text conflict, the English text governs.
Changes
Section titled “Changes”Changes are recorded in the Changelog. Mid-season changes should be rare and are announced rather than quietly edited.
