If you're playing and the map changes or you join and it on the wrong map their are commands your team Captains can use to change the server to the correct map. Matches played on incorrect maps will not be counted. Mis-use of the map commands will result in disciplinary actions.
- @map - Displays a list of allowed maps.
- @map [map name] - Puts forward a map to be confirmed by the other team. The map can be a public name (Port Valdez) or a file name (Levels/mp_012sr) and is matched against a dictionary (partial matches/misspelling allowed).
Rules:
- First and Foremost eGO rule set applies, no glitches, exploits ect. Any unsportsmanlike conduct will resulting your squad forfeiting and possible further punishment if warranted.
- No limitations on classes/weapons/perks ect.
- There are no vehicles, but there are turrets and their use is unrestricted.
- Best out of 3 rounds.
- Attackers: Capture both objectives
- Defenders: Make Attackers run out of Tickets
- Stalemate: Team ahead in points at the end of the 15 minute time limit. (We have a plugin for this)
- Each Team's Captain will be responsible for "readying" their respective squads to commence the start of the match. Only the team Captain should type @ready in chat to ready their team. Once both captains have given their go, the server will countdown from 3 and restart the map. The time limit starts from the 1st player spawning in (regardless of team). The server will have an initial spawn delay of 25 seconds to accommodate slower PC's.
- At the end of the round, or start of the next, players can type commands into chat to retrieve the last rounds scores if forgotten. (Yes we have a plugin for this)
- @dump - Lists in chat all players, PBID's and weapons used.
- @scores - Lists in chat the scores for the previous round.
- Home Team starts off Defending (so defending 2 out of 3 rounds), all teams have an equal number of home games, so don't say its not fair.
- At the end of a match, the captain will post in this thread the Round # and who was the winning team (if you had a ringer, please list their name too). For Instance: "Round #5, The A Team Won" or "Round #2 Team Towel FTW Won". In the event of a dispute, screen shots of the @scores chat log may be required if sufficient information cannot be found in logs. I don't want to see a single dispute, ever.
Rescheduling Rules:
- Ringers can be used in the event a team member is unable to participate and rescheduling isn't a viable option. Ringers cannot currently be on another Team. Max of 2 ringers allowed per match. The same ringer cannot sub for the same team more than twice.
- Matches can be rescheduled only if both teams agree to a time. Rescheduled matches cannot take place during another team's match. (Duh)
- Matches cannot be made up if they cannot be completed prior to the start of the 3rd following match. For instance: Round 4 cannot be made up if its not completed prior to Round 7's start. The rescheduling team will forfeit or If both teams cannot reschedule/sub players in time then its ruled a Draw.
- No less than half of a team's scheduled matches must be completed with the original members. For instance: Each team Plays 8 matches, you cannot have ringers (subs) more than 4 matches. No more than 2 matches at a time can be reschedule.
- Captains must notify leadership of their rescheduled time and date, approval is needed.

Scheduling - Dates/Times:
We will post the team match ups and schedule prior to this weekends start of the tournament. The 1st round of matches will begin this Saturday, 9/11 at the following time:
Be available available for up to 2 hours following the start time as we'll be completing at least 2 rounds per day. Matches shouldn't last long, the game mode is very quick and there aren't a lot of tickets so we should be able to get through 2 rounds in much less than 2 hours. The only reason a match will take long is if participants are horsing around. Anyone impeding the progress of the tournament will be subject to disciplinary actions. If matches go quickly then we may move the following rounds up, if all can attend.
We'll have more detailed info in the schedule but there will be two servers set up for the tournament. Since there are more matches per round than servers, Matches have been given A and B timeslots, so Match A will have first crack then once they're done Match B's participants will be able to join that server and play. This applies to all rounds and all matches so be sure to read over the schedule carefully.
Prizes are given to each member of the team.
- 1st Place Team:
- 1 Month Reserved Slots on All BC2 Servers
