No sir!
The Soldier on banned weapons

Within some competitive leagues, competitive item restrictions during matches are employed to ensure balanced gameplay.

As a general rule of thumb, most competitive leagues restrict players from wearing any Unusual Hats. Playings are also typically restricted from wearing a complete class set, such as a Polycount Pack set, which gives a class bonus.

If new weapons are released in midst of a competition season, they will typically become restricted from play unless given approval by the league's administrators and team leaders.

Item Whitelist

The item whitelist is a simple text file, item_whitelist.txt by default, with a simple binary switch after each value to determine whether it is enabled or not.

Weapon bans during a match are enforced by the use of an item whitelist.

To enable a whitelist, simply define its name and location using the mp_tournament_whitelist command.

Example: mp_tournament_whitelist "cfg/item_whitelist.txt"

In order to restrict a weapon from being played, simply set the value to "0" next to the weapon's name.

Example: "The Shortstop" "0"

The same goes for allowing a weapon to be used, changing the value to "1" instead.

Example: "The Shortstop" "1"

One also has the ability to enable or disable all unlisted items on a whitelist by using the following paramater:

"unlisted_items_default_to" "0" or "1"

Using this command, one can easily build a whitelist adding only items they want allowed or banned, depending on the above parameter's value.

To obtain a full list of items that can be added to a whitelist, use the item_show_whitelistable_definitions command in the server console.

sv_cheats "1" must be set on the server in order to use this command.

Here is a sample whitelist with all current definable items:
