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 in an online match using official tournament game servers provided by GameServers.com.

- Registration (9/25/09 – 11/1/09)
- Bracket Deadlines - Round 1 - November 15th at 9pm EST, Round 2 - November 20th at 9pm EST, Round 3 - November 23rd at 9pm EST, Round 4 - November 29th at 9pm EST, Round 5 December 2nd at 9pm EST

Registration: Up to 128 squads may register for the tournament bracket. Squads must have a minimum of 3 players to be placed in the bracket, but 4 players is recommended as that is the default squad size for the tournament.

Bracket: At the end of the Registration period, up to 128 registered squads will be randomly placed in a bracket. The brackets will be played in single elimination format until one squad remains. Matches are best of 3 maps.

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 played (“Match Time”), which will be listed in the tournament brackets at http://worldatwar.ggl.com. Each match will also be assigned a tournament game server, and the teams will receive the information to access the game server by GGL site message (so be sure to check your GGL In Box). The two (2) opponents must both be present and ready to play at the assigned Match Time. The Tournament Producer will facilitate rescheduling of all game matches as needed, but squads should be prepared to play any time on the tournament weekends, as the tournament schedule will be tight. 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 to GGL.com, 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.

Match Information

Match Format: 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.

Official Match Start Time: The match begins when the first map is loaded for match play. This does not include lag test rounds.

Server Mods: Mods may be used as long as both team Leaders agree.

Player / Squad 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.

Game ID’s: Players must have a valid game ID (Gamertag, PSN ID, Steam ID, PB UID, etc.) listed in their profile. The player’s game ID must match exactly how it is in game. Incorrect game IDs or missing game IDs will result in a forfeit loss of the match for that player’s squad.

Player Agreements: Any agreements made between players before, during, or after the match that alter the permitted rules, game settings, or assigned maps will result in an automatic forfeit for both squads.

Substitutions/Alternates/Ringers: Once a match begins, no substitutions are allowed. If an illegal player is used, an Admin must be notified BEFORE the start of the match. Continuing to play the game will render this type of dispute invalid.

Replacing Teammates: 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 Competition Roster and replaced with another player.

Incomplete Squads: Squads must have the required number of players listed under the Match Squad Size rule above in order to play. Choosing to play with missing members (3v4, 4v5, 2v4, etc.) will result in a forfeit loss for that squad.

Connection / Networking Rules

Game Server: You may use any server you wish as long as both Squad Captains agree to it.

Match Interruption/Player Disconnections: If any player loses his/her connection before the map starts (while the map is loading) or before any scores are recorded (kills, captures, etc.), restart the map once the player has rejoined. If a player loses his/her connection mid-game, continue playing as normal.

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 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.

Disputes / Cheating

Tardiness: Squads have 10 minutes from the scheduled match time to have be in-game ready to play. Squads who are not ready with all players will receive a forfeit loss.

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 an Admin 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. Turbo controllers are also not allowed. 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.

Demos/Recordings: All players need to record CoD in-game demos and save them for 2 weeks in case of a dispute. If a demo is requested and a player does not have one the match could possibly end in a forfeit.
