The Call of Duty League has an unofficial set of rules for Call of Duty: Vanguard, put in place by the teams that compete within the League. One player from each of the twelve teams enters into a private chat on an annual basis to determine what items are overpowered to ensure that the games broadcasted are as competitive as possible.
This unofficial ruleset is called the Gentlemen’s Agreement (GA), and is an agreement from all teams within the Call of Duty League to not use specific items and killstreaks for the sake of competitive balance.
Disallowed Items (via GA 1.2)
- PPSh-41
- BAR
- All magazine attachments
- Shrouded (sniper) proficiency
- MP-40 VDD 189mm Short barrel attachment
- All pistol attachments which increase fire rate
- MP-40 F8 Stabilizer muzzle attachment
- Smoke grenades
- Gammon Bomb
- Bombing Run killstreak
- Auto Tactical Sprint
- MP-40 ‘Space Issue’ blueprint
Restricted Items
- Search and Destroy
- One Sniper Rifle allowed per team
- One smoke grenade per team (Europe, Challengers)
The GA is placed on top of the official ruleset placed by the League itself, meaning that the former may not supersede the latter. The official ruleset was updated on January 18, similarly to version 1.2, with an updated map veto process and competitive settings for the Control game mode.
