Hey!
I just thought I'd post the official ESL rules for SnD so you can just locate yourself here instead of searching on Google.
Although these are Release Cup rules they're probably not this strict in scrims but the general rules such as weapons, maps and settings still apply.
I hope this clears some things up and that this list is clear enough for you to understand. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Search & Destroy
General Rules:
A match is played over two maps picked by the teams from the mappool below. 24 rounds are being played every map. The teams switch side every 12 rounds. You may leave the server if one team reaches 25 rounds. If there is a draw at the end you play MR3 mode on Seatown until a winner is decided.
Each team may use just one sniper and one shotgun. Once the sniper/shotgun is down it is not allowed to pick this weapon. All other weapons can be picked.
To use your own classes on a ESL settings server, go into private match lobby and set your classes there. There make sure that you have only the allowed weapons set, frag, smoke/flash and REVENGE as your deathstreak. This way, you will be able to use your own classes on dedicated servers with ESL ruleset config.
If there is one team with a dedicated server you have to play on that. It is allowed that each team hosts one map. If a player is not able to join a lobby a different player has to host the game. If the problem still persists the team has to play short-handed as long as the minimum number of players (default teamsize -1) are available.
