Minimum & Maximum Players

When registering for a tournament, Users must select the minimum number of players required to compete in that tournament, indicated on the tournament sign up module. Users 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 Activision 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. Spelling, spaces and characters must be exact, but do not need to be case sensitive. To find your Activision ID go into the game and select Options > Account > Activision Account.

Substitutes

Players 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 enter a tournament, meaning that any changes made to a player's ID after they sign up for a tournament will not be updated on the roster. To avoid this change your username before signing up for a tournament or leave the tournament, change your game ID so that it is correct and then rejoin the tournament.

Player Eligibility

Only players listed on the Match Fixture page are eligible to play in tournament matches. It is both players responsibility to verify the eligibility of all players playing in the match. If a player 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 player has an ineligible player present, you must tell the opposing player to replace that player with an eligible player. You must have given the player the required fifteen (15) minutes from match start time to substitute their ineligible player. If the player does not substitute their ineligible player, please report the scores in your favour and provide proof of the ineligible player in the game lobby.
