Introduction The leaders of XoL thought it would be a good idea to introduce tournaments, to be hosted and moderated by XoL. Anyone is allowed to participate except aliases!
------------------------------------------------------------------------
How to signup
One way you don't signup is by the main chat. There are certain sysops that might gag the chat if you do. Signup by zone messaging an XoL member. They will relay it to one of the 4 leaders of XoL. Also you can signup by joining a game room hosted by an XoL. It might say Outlaws tournament or Rock's room..something like that.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Rules
The games will be played at CD- Maps (except orleans) and certain other downloadable maps, and will be limited to Marshall Law and the Gattling Gun will not be allowed. No bobbing also..., that means with any weapon at all! so don't go tnt bobbing either. Also No oltombstone!! Using oltombstone gets you booted from the tournament immediately.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Game
You must enter at a certain time then you will get some warmup time if you entered early, and after that, the playing begins. Both players will have a gunfight until 20 kills. The host of the match doesn't really matter. If there are any complaints about a host just message one the tournament moderators. They will see who has the best ping and decide who should host the match.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
sWhat decides where i get put on the brackets and what maps I play? For the brackets I will put names in a hat and draw them out without looking. The first name goes on the top , the 2nd name goes below that, the 3rd goes below that, and the 4th name i draw goes below the 3rd. So The 1st and 2nd name play in the first round and the 3rd and 4th play in the first round. Maps will be decided by the tournament moderators. People in the tournament have a big influence on what maps are played. People may suggest certain maps being in certain rounds. If that doesn't work I might just randomly draw maps out of a hat. Also if 2 ppl agree that they don't like the map they may choose to play another map, but both ppl must go along with this.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Both contestants must report the outcome of the match to a tournament moderator knowing; XoL_TheRock, XoL_Austin, XoL_Beartracker, and XoL_Challenger, all other XoL members will help out.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Aliases... No aliases will be allowed in tournaments, if we catch an alias during the tournaments, his real name will be shown and he will foreit his spot in the tourney. Please do not complain about lag... there is nothing that we can do about it, just don't be so lame to leave programs running in the background on purpose!
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hacking...
If you think someone is hacking then report to a moderator of tournament
then the moderator will test person for hacks and watch the whole game. if you think somone is hacking and he is winning, for instance 2-0, report to a moderator then the score will be resumed at 2-0 with the moderator watching and testing the person for hacks. The moderator will be allowed to test a subject as many times as he wants (hacking)
if the one that is being tested plays around and kills everyone, HE WILL AUTOMATICALLY FORFEIT HIS SPOT (hacking)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Oops...
If someone leaves or lags out he has
10 minutes to get back on and play or he will forfeit his spot
a person has 10 minutes to get in the game also but time can vary according to the moderators
after a win or loss...
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Last but not least
Some stuff to do with this tournament is left up to the tournament moderators and sometimes the people of high noon, so don't get your stop watch and time 10 minutes then tell us that the other dude forfeits the match..thats not the way its going to go.If someone is hacking in a game we will ask people if they have noticed that person hacking for. Also if people in high noon say someone is an alias then we will look into it. We will see what the situation is. If someone has to go do something real quick then we can postpone the matchup. Please do not get too rushy in this tournament it just causes frustration and this leads to more time. We will try to make this tournament as fun as possible for everyone.
