Team captains will not be able to select more than the maximum number of players indicated on the tournament sign up module.


Player IDs

For this tournament, players must register their Activison ID to their EGL Game & Social Accounts section on their EGL profile. All Player IDs on a team’s roster must be 100% valid and accurate & include the unique identifier number, if applicable i.e. UsErNaMe#1234567, though not all Activison IDs have a unique identifier number i.e. #1234567. Spelling, spaces, characters and case sensitivity must be 100% accurate.

If your username is found to be incorrect or you have input an email address instead of your Activison ID then your team will be disqualified as this is strictly NOT allowed, as soon as this is reported to us with valid proof, it will be an immediate disqualification and your team, regardless of maps played will be disqualified from the tournament as you need to make sure this is correct before signing up for the tournament.


Substitutes

Teams are not permitted to use a substitute at any point in a match. A substitute is defined as someone who is not listed on the Match Fixture page.

Roster Lock

Player IDs are stored when you sign up for a tournament, meaning that any changes made to a player's ID after they register for a tournament will not be automatically updated on the roster. To avoid this, change your username before registering for a tournament or if you have already registered, leave the tournament, change your Player ID so that it is up to date and correct and then re-join the tournament.

If a team uses an ineligible player in a match they will forfeit the match the ineligible player participated in. Proof must be shown to support any claims of an ineligible player playing in a match.

If the opposing team has an ineligible player present, you must tell the opposing team to replace that player with an eligible player.

Match Delay

Matches must be played in their entirety unless both teams agree to delay the match. Maximum permitted time to delay a match is fifteen (15) minutes.

Failure to complete a match or report the scores within 1 hour of receiving the match fixtures will result in disqualification for both teams due to inactivity.

Teams may not delay the match for more than fifteen (15) minutes between each round. If a team delays the start for longer than fifteen (15) minutes, the other team should report a no show and provide proof of the delay occurring.

The team that did not delay must provide video proof showing that this fifteen (15) minute delay did occur.

It is the hosting team’s responsibility to ensure that the match settings are as outlined below in the Match Settings. If you notice that the host has the incorrect match settings, please record video proof of what is wrong, ensuring that the scores, time, incorrect rules and the players in the lobby are clearly visible and then immediately leave the game.

In the instance that the hosting team have the correct match settings and you leave the game before it is completed, the team that did not leave will receive the win for that map.

In the instance that the hosting team have the incorrect match settings and you do not leave the game before it is completed, the result of that map will stand.

The hosting team will not forfeit the map if the non hosting team does not leave the match and the map is completed.


Forfeits

In order for a team to forfeit, the opposing team must leave or end the match immediately after they have captured proof of their accusation. Teams will not be forfeited if the opposing team do not leave the game and the map is completed.

Teams will forfeit a map for the following reasons:

  • The use of a banned weapon, perk, attachment, or any other restricted item listed under the Restrictions below by any player. Using the equipment includes holding it while running or walking and/or placing it on the ground.
  • Leaving or ending a match prior to it's completion and then failing to provide valid proof of the accusation against the opposing team.
  • Hosting a match with the incorrect Match Settings shown below.
  • The host disconnecting after the first 30 seconds or after a kill has been made.
  • Delaying a match by more than ten (10) minutes in between maps.

Player Disconnections

If a player disconnects during the initial launch of a map, the map will be restarted from scratch. The initial launch is defined as within the first thirty (30) seconds or before the first kill is made.

If a player disconnects after the game has started, the following rules apply:

If a player disconnects after kills have been made by either team or after the first 30 seconds, the team with disconnection issues can attempt to reinvite the player that disconnected but cannot leave the match and must continue playing with the current amount of players left or forfeit the round. If an entire team leaves before the end of the match then they will forfeit the map.

If both teams disagree over when the player disconnection took place, video proof must be provided that shows the scores and time at which the disconnection took place, as well as the players in the lobby.


Host Disconnection

If the host disconnects during the initial launch of a map, the map will be restarted from scratch. The initial launch is defined as within the first thirty (30) seconds or before the first kill is made.

If the host disconnects after 30 seconds or after a kill has been made, the hosting team will forfeit that map.

If both teams disagree over when the host disconnection took place, video proof must be provided that shows the scores and time at which the disconnection took place, as well as the players in the lobby.
