Black Ops Christmas Competition



You have up until Wednesday 22nd @ 8pm AEDST to alter your roster - the maximum amount of players that can be on your roster is 10. You cannot change your roster after the date above. Notify Admins via PM of the change you wish to make.

You do not have to play your matches in their rounds' order. You can play any match at any time just as long as they all get done!

Match Format

The matches will be played out four quarters consisting of 6 rounds each. Essentially, first to 13 or best out of 24 rounds. At the quarter-time breaks, launch the game immediately. Only use the half-time break to change classes, get a drink etc. At the half-time break you should also swap spawns. i.e. 1st Quarter: 6 Rounds Attack, 2nd Quarter: 6 Rounds Attack | HALF TIME | 3rd Quarter: 6 Rounds Defence, 4th Quarter: 6 Rounds Defence.

Rounds won or lost may become an important factor in deciding your teams position, so even if you have already lost the game (other team reaches 13) you must keep putting the effort in to win some more rounds.

A knife round will be used to decide spawns. Use the same settings as below in the CG Variant ruleset - except switch the Time Limit to Unlimited and turn on 'Radar Always On'. Whichever team wins the knife round decides which spawn they will start the match on.

You may only compete if you are registered with your team in the relative thread: Xmas Comp Rego. If you are not registered for the competition you cannot compete. You cannot change teams mid-way through the competition. In all games you may only use the players you registered with. Any use of 'ineligible' players will result in the offending team forfeiting the match.

Pool-play matches can be played from any time as of the 23rd of December up until Thursday the 30th of December. Dec 31, Jan 1, Jan 2 and Jan 3 will be used to complete Finals matches. If we can start them earlier, it'd be even better! So make sure you get your asses into gear and start contacting other teams to organise your match times! To make contacting the opposition easier, we've made an Xmas Comp Team List thread. Use this to find a player from the team you're versing so you can organise a match on CG.

Finals

The Top 2 teams from each pool will go into a quick single-elimination finals series. There are no second chances in this finals series regardless of your pool-play performance. However, seeding will be used to determine who plays who. The top 4 seeds are handed out to the teams that finish first in their pools - out of those teams the team with the most wins and/or round wins gets first place, second most gets second place and so on. The seeds 5-8 are given to the teams who finish second in their pools. Of these teams, the rank 5 goes to the team with the most wins and/or round wins and so on.

Below is an image depicting how the finals will work and inevitably determine 2010's SteelSeries Black Op's XMAS Comp Winner!



Finals Maps
Finals are to be played using Quarters of 6 rounds each. Once 6 rounds are reached, end the game and carry onto the next quarter using the same spawn. Start the game immediately after the 1st and 3rd quarter. Use the half-time break to change classes, get a drink, take a leak etc.

At the half-time break you should also swap spawns. i.e. 1st Quarter: 6 Rounds Attack, 2nd Quarter: 6 Rounds Attack | HALF TIME | 3rd Quarter: 6 Rounds Defence, 4th Quarter: 6 Rounds Defence.

Play until a team has won 13 rounds. Overtime works the same as it does in the S&D CGo Ladder. Overtime should be scored by adding 1 round to the winning team and subtracting 1 round from the losing team i.e. 12-12, OT, Winner 13 - Loser 11.

Semi Finals: Cracked
Prelim Finals: Villa
Grand Final: Havana, Radiation & Grid

Referees
It is preferable that you have a referee in every match, although this will sometimes be impossible (busy time of year etc). For a list of available referee's over this period of time please click the spoiler tab below.


Results Reporting
You must play every team in your pool. Each pool will have their own topic made, and teams will post results of games in there to confirm their wins/losses. Result reporting is only to be done in your relative pool's thread - no where else.

You must play out every game.

Forfeits & Drop-outs
If a team forfeits a game, all the games before and after will be recorded as 0-0. In this instance so the competition scoring can be kept as fair as possible, any team dropping out will result in other pools last-placed team's matches being set as 0-0.

For example: Green pool, 1 team drops out and all their matches are set to 0-0. But all other teams have full pools still, meaning they can easily get an advantage as they get to play more games/rounds. These pools will have their last-placed team's scores set to 0-0's for all matches, effectively rendering each pool with only 5 competitors once scores are tallied.

Like all competitions boys and girls; if you mess around, ruin matches, break CGo ladder rules and anything else dubbed stupid or irresponsible by the Admin team - you can face bans.
