Hi...!

First off, many thanks to all the teams who participated in the recent 4v4 P2P competition. We not only had 16 teams, but we had 16 quality teams. I like to think that it was a success and it ran smoothly due to how well all teams and players conducted themselves during the competition. Naturally, this means we need to keep running more 4v4 events

Please take careful note that this is not an ODC. Why? Because all coming weekends are occupied with Christmas, New Years, ESGN, ACL Gold Coast, etc. As a result we will still run a Double Elimination only bracket, but with teams playing a match every 2-3 nights till the end of January. At the completion of this competition, we will return to ODCs.

Outside of Christmas Eve / Day, Boxing Day, New Years Eve / Day, you will be required to play a 4v4 match every 2-3 days if you wish to participate in this competition. We highly recommend having more than 4 players on your roster as we will be instant forfeiting teams who are not getting a match played every 2-3 days. This may not be the competition for you, so please do not register if you can't compete regularly during the Dec / Jan period. The mentality of "you can't forfeit p2p / finals matches" will be stomped on and we will forfeit teams where required. All of the challenges will be admin created.

We will continue to thrash out regular 4v4 P2P competitions as we persist in making 4v4s more dominant in Auscod.

The purpose of this thread is to give all the information you need in regards to the 4v4 P2P Competition that will run from Dec 26th - Jan 31st.

Tournament Structure

There will be no pool play. This will be a straight out Double Elimination competition.

Seeding will be released on Dec 24th. Seedings will based off rankings on the MW3 4v4 CGo Ladder.

All matches will be a best of 5 series:
CTF, DOM, CTF, SND, CTF

We will be using the continuation rule if needed. This will create a best of 11 series:
CTF, DOM, CTF, SND, CTF, SND, DOM, SND, CTF, SND, CTF


It is important that all competitors have a thorough understanding of the continuation rule before competing.

If teams are scheduled to play each other for a 2nd time in Double Elimination, their match will expand to a best of 11 series, include the previous match, and pick up where that match left off. For example, if player A beat player B 3 Games to 0 in the Winners Bracket, the best of 11 will resume with gametype 4 and player A leading 3 games to 0.

It's a much dire situation if, let's say, Player A defeated Player B 3-0 and they met up again. In this situation, Player B would need to win six games while Player A needed only three.

If you are playing a team for the second time in the competition and need to play a best of 11 series, you must contact OzFalcon for your list of maps / gametypes.

If you are still confused over this rule, feel free to send me a PM or contact me over MSN and I will try explain how it works.

Game Rules

All rules are subject to change between now and the commencement of the competition in accordance to international ruleset changes.

Keep in mind that in trying to narrow ourselves with MLG and the world stage, a lot of what you would expect to be banned, isn't.

Spawns will be determined based on seed. The highest seed (going into the comp), will choose spawns for maps 1, 3 & 5.

A neutral host is preferred for all matches, but not essential. If a neutral host can not be found, both teams need to agree on hosting arrangements. This can be one team hosting the entire match or switching hosts between halves or gametypes.

Party chat is allowed for all gametypes.

MSN Group and Staff

Send a message to ozfalcon@hotmail.com and I will invite you to the P2P MSN group. We would like a captain from each team present in this group to make organising matches easier on game date. The MSN Group is only for competing teams.

This thread will be constantly updated on Nov 27th and we expect teams to organise themselves in getting matches started. We do not want to be chasing teams. The more you guys can do to help this comp almost self-run on the day, the smoother it will run. As players and teams, you all play a major part in the success and continuation of these P2P competitions. The community has been outstanding in making them work so thanks! Good luck to all teams competing!

Please feel free to post below if you have any questions, queries or comments!

We wish all teams competing the best of luck and hope you enjoy the competition,
CoD Admin Team

Please make sure that all teams read the thread carefully and are aware that this is not an ODC before registering and making payment.

yes ! i can actualy play this one lol

Sounds like a good idea Falcs, More people can play in comps like this

I will most likely attend this P2P, but i think some teams wont be able to. But Good idea Falcs!

Great idea falcon mabye will compete in it

Sweet, more our style of things. Hopefully I'll get the boys interested

Cheers Falcs

Not sure if I can play :/

**** yeee

Would also like to open up this thread to the possible CTF tie-breaker rule change. At the moment we have been doing Golden Flag, but this is what Decerto is doing -

• On Capture the Flag, the highest total flag score wins, it is not decided on round wins. Teams must take note of the score at half time.
• In the event of a tie on Capture the Flag, stopwatch rules apply.
• Stopwatch rules state that you must replay the map. Upon the first flag capture, the host must end the game. The map is then restarted for a second time with teams switching spawns. The losing team must capture a flag within the same time that the winning team did. If they fail to do so, they lose the map. If a team captures two flags, they win the map.

this is huge
nice work falcon and co

too many competitions!

get at my level

Like who?

yeah that's a fantastic idea IMO will change the play style of overtime
