Additional Rules and Information

Overview: The Call of Duty: World at War Map Pack 2 Tournament (“Tournament”) is a team competition with $2,500 in cash plus limited edition Call of Duty: World at War zombie perks t-shirts up for grabs. The tournament consists of simultaneous month-long ladders for Xbox 360 and PS3 players. The top 64 from each ladder will advance to single-elimination playoff brackets to determine the ultimate winners (details below). Squads can register and start practicing in the ladders from 6/11/09 – 6/23/09. On 6/24/09, the practice ladder results will be reset and the official competition will begin. THERE IS NO ENTRY FEE TO PARTICIPATE OR WIN THIS TOURNAMENT.

Eligibility: Tournament is open to participants worldwide, who are 13 years of age or older at the time of registration. The following are NOT eligible to participate or win prizes: Employees of Activision Inc. (“Activision”) or Professional Interactive Entertainment, Inc. dba GGL (“GGL”), and their respective parent companies, affiliates and subsidiaries, their advertising and promotion agencies, their licensors, and their respective employees, individuals engaged in the development, production or distribution of materials for this Tournament, persons who are immediate family of, dependents of (as defined by IRS regulations), or who live in the same household as any person in any of the above categories. All federal, state and local laws and regulations apply. Void where prohibited by law or regulation.

How to Register: Registration for the Tournament begins at 9:01 AM (EST) on June 11, 2009 and ends at 11:59 PM (EST) on July 26, 2009. Participants must register online at http://worldatwar.ggl.com and must join either the Xbox 360 or PS3 Tournament Ladder. Each participant MUST register individually and must accurately complete all required registration information. Once registered, individuals must form squads before they can begin competing with other squads in the Tournament Ladder.

NOTE – due to the “ladder” format of the Tournament, players may register and join the Tournament after the Tournament has begun, up to the end of the Ladder Stage of the Tournament. LIMIT: One (1) registration per person. All registration information submitted becomes the property of GGL and will not be returned. By registering for the Tournament, participants agree to be contacted by GGL. GGL’s computer will be the official time clock for registration, and the official time zone for the Tournament will be Eastern Standard Time.

How to Play: Only valid registered squads will be eligible to compete. GGL’s decisions are final and legally binding as they pertain to this Tournament.

Game and Platform: Squads will compete by playing the videogame Call of Duty: World at War on the Xbox 360™ in an online match via the Xbox Live® Gold service, or on the PLAYSTATION®3 via the PLAYSTATION®Network.

Tournament Stages: The tournament for both the Xbox 360 and PS3 competitions will consist of the following stages:
- Practice Ladder (6/11/09 – 6/23/09)
- Ladder Stage (6/24/09 – 7/26/09)
- Bracket Stage (7/29/09 – 8/16/09)

Practice Ladder: On Thursday, June 11, 2009, valid registered squads will be able to begin playing practice matches in the Tournament Ladders. Practice matches will not count towards the final standings, but will be used to allow players to practice playing the game and using the GGL competition system.

Ladder Stage: On Wednesday, June 24, 2009, at 3:01 PM EST all squads’ point totals from the Practice Ladder will be reset, and the official Tournament Ladder will begin. Squads will start with 1000 points and will gain points for playing and winning matches. Ladder matches are best of 1 map. At the end of the Tournament Ladder on Sunday, July 26, 2009 at 11:59 PM EST, the top 64 squads in the Xbox 360 competition and the top 64 squads in the PS3 competition will advance to the Stage 2 Brackets.

Ladder Rules/Settings: Squads who join the ladder will start with 1000 points and will gain points for playing and winning matches. Points are allocated as follows:
- 80 points awarded for a win (regular win or forfeit win)
- 20 points awarded for playing (win or lose). For example, if you play and win you get a total of 100 points (80 + 20). If you play and lose you get 20 points.
- 25 points LOST if you decline a regular challenge (but there is NO penalty for declining an Instant Challenge)
- 50 points LOST if you forfeit a match
- 3-day “Challenge Active” period – this means that if you receive a challenge, you must respond (either by accepting or proposing alternate times) within 3 days or the challenge is automatically marked as a “Decline” and you lose 25 points.
- If you don’t play a match within 7 days, you are marked as inactive and you lose 100 points. You will continue to lose 100 points every 7 days that you remain inactive in the ladder. Once inactive, you can re-join the competition, but you will not be given back the points lost while inactive.
- You can only challenge a particular squad once within 7 days.
- You can only challenge other squads within a certain range of your spot in the ladder: either 20 spots up or 10 spots down in the ladder, OR within 20% of your points up the ladder or 10% of your points down in the ladder (in other words if you have 1000 points you can challenge squads up to 1200 points or down to 900 points).

Bracket Stage: At the conclusion of the Ladder Stage, the top 64 squads from each ladder will be placed in a 64-squad bracket. Squads will be seeded according to their standing in the Ladder Stage. The brackets will be played in single elimination format until one squad remains in each bracket. Matches are best of 3 maps.

Match Scheduling (Ladder): During the Ladder Stage, competitors schedule matches themselves through GGL’s ladder challenge tools. First, one squad challenges another squad in the ladder, proposing three dates/times for the match. The squad that receives the challenge then has the option of either accepting one of the proposed times, in which case the match is officially scheduled, or responding with three alternate times. If the original challenger does not agree to any of the alternate times, they may drop the challenge with no penalty, but if they accept one of the alternate times then the match is officially scheduled. “Instant Challenges” may be issued or declined with no penalty. Matches once scheduled can not be altered without the agreement of both squads and without notifying the Tournament Producer. Failure to show up to compete within 10 minutes of a scheduled match time will result in a forfeit loss (with point penalty) for the squad that does not show up, and a forfeit win for the squad that does. Declining a challenge without proposing alternate times will also result in a point penalty. Squads can challenge and play as often as they wish, within the guidelines of the ladder rules.

Match Scheduling (Bracket): Tournament game matches during the Bracket Stage will be scheduled as follows. Each match will be assigned a time and date to be completed (“Completion Time”), which will be listed in the tournament brackets at http://worldatwar.ggl.com. The two (2) opponents can complete their match at any time up to the Completion Time, or if they can’t agree on a time of their own, the Completion Time becomes the default time at which they must play their match. The squads can negotiate on the match time using the comments section of the “Match Details” page for their particular match at http://worldatwar.ggl.com. The Tournament Producer will facilitate scheduling of all game matches as needed. Tournament game matches once scheduled will be FINAL and matches may only be rescheduled or delayed as allowed by the Tournament Producer in its sole discretion.

Squads will forfeit their scheduled match if they are not present and ready to compete within ten (10) minutes of the scheduled time. The Tournament Producer will be the timekeeper, and the official time zone for the tournament will be Eastern Standard Time. *** NOTE – once a player is logged in, all times on the website appear in that player’s native time zone, chosen during the registration process. It is important that each player make sure he/she has set the correct time zone – players can edit their time zone through the “Edit Account” link.

General Match Rules

Match Squad Size: The two squads can agree on any squad size before the match begins (the squads can negotiate the squad size using the comments section of the “Match Details” page for their particular match). If the two squads can not agree on a squad size, the default squad size is 4v4.

Match Format: During the Ladder Stage, all matches will be a single map only. During the Stage 2 Brackets, all matches will be best of 3 maps. In the event a map ends in a tie, restart the map with the official game settings and continue to replay the map until a winner is determined.

Substitutions/Alternates/Ringers: Once a match begins, no substitutions are allowed. (Note: Once the map is launched, that is considered the start of the match.) If a player(s) needs to be replaced due to console failure, hospitalization, or another serious incident occurs rendering a player (or players) unable to play, contact an admin to have that player removed from your Squad Roster and replaced with another player. If an illegal player is used, an Administrator must be notified before the start of the match. Choosing to continue to play the match may render the dispute invalid.

Match Hosting: The host must be agreed upon by all players. You may test all hosts until the best one has been determined. The host must be one of the players participating in the match.
- Default rule: During the Ladders, the squad who received the challenge will host the match.
- Optional rule: If one of the players has an excellent connection that all of the players ping fairly to, both squads may agree to use that host for the duration of the match. (Note: changing the host does not affect who chooses sides first.)

Match Interruption: If any player loses his/her connection before the map starts (during map load time for example) or before any scores are recorded (kills, captures, etc.), restart the map once the player has rejoined the game lobby or a substitute from the squad’s official roster has joined. If a player loses his/her connection mid game, continue playing as normal. If the host drops, the hosting squad will receive a forfeit for that match.

Player Agreements: Any agreements made between players outside of the permitted rules (i.e. to play under different rules, use a different map, etc.) before, during, or after a match will result in an automatic forfeit for both squads.

Lag Test Round and Internet Issues: Due to the unpredictable nature of the Internet, it is highly recommended that players communicate about their connection and play a few minutes of test play to test the host’s connection and make sure the game settings are correct. If a host is unacceptable, continue testing connections until one can be found. Once the official match has started, any lag issues that arise are to be considered out of players’ control and the match should continue as normal.

Match Disputes: Squads must provide some sort of proof (picture, video, match replay, etc.) along with their match disputes. Failure to do so may render your dispute invalid. If there is an issue before the match starts, contact a Tournament Administrator immediately. Choosing to continue to play the match may render the dispute invalid.

Glitches/Exploits: Players are forbidden from using any game or hardware glitches or exploits to gain or attempt to gain an advantage. If an area within the game is accessible due to an exploit or bug, then that location is off limits. If you are unsure whether an area is considered off limits or something is a bug or glitch, ask an Admin before your match. Use of any glitch or exploit will result in a forfeit loss and potential suspension or banning from the Tournament, at GGL’s discretion.
