1. About
################################################################################
1.1 Functionality
PingControl is a small mutator that checks each player's ping during timed
intervals. If a player's ping falls above or below a set range, the player will
be warned that their connection does not coincide with server specifications.
If the player's ping does not adjust to the acceptable range during the
subsequent check, this player will be removed from the server. This mutator
disables itself in tournament mode.
