Games Notes

This tournament is being held in the “BYOC” section of the event. As such, it is a play-at-your-own-risk tournament. If any prospective player feels uncomfortable about participating in the tournament, it is their responsibility to decide whether or not to join the tournament. It is not the responsibility of the staff to accommodate every whim and preference of each individual participant.

 

Team Make Up

·         Each team must have a team captain. 

·         Only the team captain can register a team, modify a team, or remove a team from the on-line tourney signups.

·         Team captains must ensure that all players on their team have read and follow these rules.

·         Each team must have 5 players.

·         Each team can have 2 alternates. 

·         The entire team roster must be picked in advance before tourney sign-ups are closed.

·         Alternates must be substituted at the beginning of each side of the map.  The server admin must be notified of the substitution.

·         Players can only play on one team.

·         Alternates cannot be on another team or an alternate for another team.

·         Teams must have a unique name.

·         Tourney staff may not compete in the tourney.

 

Tournament Procedure

·         All players must arrive between before Saturday 12:00 Noon and hook up their PC.

·         Team captains must report to the lobby at 1:00pm to report in for your team and receive the tourney server, password and time for your match. 

·         All players should be connected to the appropriate tourney server before their match starts. 

·         Each team captain MUST REPORT to the TOURNEY ADMIN on-time for each of their matches.  You will have FIVE MINUTES to report.  If after 5 minutes the team captain is not at the tourney desk, your team will be disqualified.

·         If team captains cannot decide who will be CT or T first, a coin toss will decide who is counter-terrorist and who is terrorist.

·         Team captains must report their win or loss.

·         Tourney matches will not be held up due to personal computer problems. 

·         If a player on your team is unable to play, the team can choose to play with four people.

·         We will make attempts to prevent matches from coinciding for players playing in more than one tournament.  If a player has two matches at the same time, they must forfeit out of one of the tournaments.

·         The tournament bracket is seeded randomly by the Lanwar Tourney staff.

·         After a player has died, the player must not communicate to other players on their team until the entire team has died.

·         All team members must already be in the appropriate tournament server at the match start time.

·         When the captains report, they will be given 5 minutes to get their team in the server.  The match WILL start with or without all 5 members of each team.

·         Any complaints with the match must be voiced calmly and professionally to the Tourney Director IMMEDIATELY.  If you don’t voice it then, you will have missed your chance to notify the tournament staff.  All complaints will ruled upon by the Tourney Director promptly.  The Tourney Director’s decision is final. 

·         Any team caught cheating or even pretending to cheat will be disqualified.  This includes, but not limited to, wallhacks, aimbots, crash scripts, etc.

·         Match times will only be moved because of an internal problem with the tournament.  We will not move your match time because you forgot to use the bathroom ahead of time, or because you need to go to McDonalds because your mommy forgot to spoon feed you that morning.

 

·         If the match is interrupted for reasons not the fault of the players, the match will follow CAL rules.  If the half is less that 4 rounds old, that half is played over.  If the half is more that 4 rounds old, then the match is restarted with the same round score when the interruption happened.

 

Examples:

  • Switch, server, backbone etc. goes down -- Our Fault, restart per above
  • Your PC crashes – Sorry, play on
  • Your network cable is bad – Sorry, play on
  • Power failures will be inspected to determine fault. 
  • If you plug into the wrong jack after we tell you where to plug in at, sorry.
  • If your power strip is bad, sorry. 
  • If our power system fail, its our fault. 

 

·         And so on and so forth. Remember, CAL rules state that whatever happens after you go live, happens. You play on.  We are being much more lenient with our rules.
