What we consider cheating: If you or someone else creates accounts, joins the ladder and challenges you so that you can get a free win. If you report false victories (this includes false forfeits). If you have someone else play for you (IP addresses are recorded). Lag switches. Please refer to the game rules for other forms of cheating. We will investigate and if we determine you are cheating you will be removed from the ladder.

Full Official Rules and Regulations

Call of Duty: Black Ops Tournament

Game of Skill

Overview: The Call of Duty: Black Ops Tournament (“Tournament”) is a 1v1 competition. THERE IS NO ENTRY FEE TO PARTICIPATE OR WIN THIS TOURNAMENT.

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: Black Ops on the Xbox 360™ in an online match via Xbox Live®, or on the PLAYSTATION®3 via the PLAYSTATION®Network.

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
- 20 points for a 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 player 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

Match Scheduling: 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.

Players 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 Format: During the Ladder Stage, all matches will be a single map only which will be randomly chosen by the system at the time of the challenge. 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.

Lag Test: Players and teams that perform a lag test must perform it on Nuketown in Headquarters, do not lag test on any other map. This rule is in effect to protect you all.

Competition: Participants are not allowed to participate in more than one Gamestop Call of Duty Black Ops Ladder Tournament.

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 both players.

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 players.

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: Players must Enable Game Recording and keep the file for 4 days in case of a dispute. Failure to submit the video may cause a forfeit of the match. Players disputing a match must do so within 24 hours of the match. 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.

Gamertags: Please add your gamertags/PSN ID to your profle page.
