General Rules

Match Information

Theater/Game Recording
Game Recording must be Enabled for all CyberGamer PS3 Ladder matches. Enabled is the default setting. We recommend it to be enabled however if both teams agree, you may have it disabled. If one team wants it disabled and the other wants it enabled, the default rule stands that it must be Enabled.

Spawn Choice
The Defender gets to choose their spawn for the match, where as the challenging team will be the opposing team.
Example: If team 1 (position on CGo - 1st) is challenged by team 4 (Position on CGo 4th), Team 1 will choose the spawn priority.

Maps
Maps are selected by the community and administrator team, Season challenges will be sent out randomly through a random generating method of the ladder; Maps will not be offered/accepted.

Team Sizes
Teams must have at least 1 member under the specific ladder requirement, If a team has any lower than the 1 under specific requirement, they automatically forfeit the game despite team agreements.
Example: Team 1 is on the CGo 5v5 Ladder, they must have a minimum of 4 to play the match online, if they have 3 the match will be forfeited to the opposing team.

Match length
The match consists of the amount of maps which is current on the challenging page. Each map must be played out by the match length rule in the specific ladder setting/rules which are provided for the specific ladder.

Tie Breaker
In the event of a tie breaker at the conclusion of the match, the match must be replayed using the tie breaking rule setting for the specific ladder.

Example:


Hosting:
Whichever team is attacking on the specific map for the challenge should be hosting that half. Therefore, the game should be hosted 50/50. Alternatively and we recommend that a neutral host should be selected and used for the whole match to resolve problems/arguments if both teams agree with the neutral host.
Also, if there are no objections from either team then the entire match may be hosted by the same team.
You cannot dispute a match in regards to hosting, if so it will be ignored.

Host Check:
Each time a specific host is selected to be hosting. Start the game with alternative settings and play around for an appropriate few minutes and query the host to your standards. If there is noticeable lag then an alternative host should be selected. It is up to the teams involved to have a host check and organise a new host if they are not happy with the current host.

Spectators:
If your team wishes to have spectators, they must spectate your team only and it must be agreed upon by both teams and captains. If the spectator is apart of your own team, they must spectate only their own team regardless of agreements.

Player Substitutions:
During a game, teams often wish to substitute players in and out. This can only be done during half-time breaks in the pre-game lobby, e.g. Half time of the match, or the half-time mark between Overtime rounds. As always, the player substituted in or out must be eligible in the team's roster. This rule applies across all ladders, though is generalized above in reference to S&D.



Connection Issues:
If a player has connection issues during the match that cause them to be disconnected from the game the match should be ended at the next opportunity.

In the SND gametype and if a player disconnects, the game must be ended by the end of the current round or available round. That player has 5 minutes to re-join the game ,otherwise the game will continue without that player. An alternative from the team may be played to substitute the disconnected player, however that alternative must be registered on the roster and eligible to play.

If a CoD admin is present in the match, they have the right to make any ruling that may differ to the ruleset above at their discretion.

General Information

Pre-Game Lobby:
Both teams + Captains are expected to add each other on PSN and send invites at the appropriate time for the match challenge. If any players are having problems connecting the new players should host.
Both teams have 20 minutes from the scheduled match time to get their team in the lobby and ready to begin the match. If either team is not ready to begin the match after the 20 minutes has passed then they will forfeit the match.
Teams may leave once one side has won the match, if they choose to do so, the team that leaves first will forfeit all of the remaining rounds/maps. Teams are encouraged to play out matches.

Joining a team:
All players must have a valid PSN gamertag in order to be eligible to play in a PS3 Match. Until a PSN is added to a players profile they will remain ineligible to play in ladder matches.

Rosters:
All players must be on the the team roster in order to compete in a Cybergamer match. If a player that is not enrolled on the team, or is ineligible, participates in a match the offending team will forfeit the match.

Ineligible statuses:
- Banned (cannot play)
- Joined after challenge was accepted. (cannot play)
- No PSN entered (cannot play, can if they add PSN any time before the match starts)

Captains:
A captain has the power to:
~ Accept and reject challenges
~ Create challenges
~ Invite, remove or decline members
~ Promote or demote members within the team
~ Change team profile information
~ Report match results and dispute matches
~ Add or remove the team from the ladder

Disputes:

• Evidence must be provided in the form of digital video or video screen capture. Without this proof, all disputes will be thrown out immediately. To assist us with no show disputes, it is required for you to take a still image of the pending friend request or offline friend along with the time and date clearly visible in the same image.
  
• Disputes of cheating made in the public forum are not acceptable and will be removed.
  
• Continual unsubstantiated disputes or disputes involving falsified evidence will result in action being taken against the player making the claim. Disputes made by "aliased" players will be disregarded.
  
• It is encouraged but not compulsory that both teams take a half time and a full time screenshot of the score board. This is to help provide evidence in the case of a dispute and to be used in after match write ups.
  
• Making false/useless disputes will be dealt with at the discretion of a ladder administrator. Disputes without evidence will be noted but further action is unlikely to occur.

Cheating is defined as, but not limited to, the following activities:

• Deliberately manipulating your connection, as the host or player.
