The first tournament for CoD4 has arrived. Check the pdf for more details.

09.04.08 Updated game rules. Attachment has the been updated as well, in red text. Please rename the file .rar and then extract the file. Sorry i couldn't put it on PDF again, something wrong with it.

* Players can only have one custom slot.

. Teams will be given 3 cumulative warnings before being disqualified. Teams that disobey the rules mentioned here for more than 3 times in any 3 of the game matches will be disqualified without question.
. Judges/Marshalls decision will be final.
. If players wish to dispute about the opposing team, team leader must inform the marshall immediately of any inconsistency with the opposing team.

Disconnections
. If a server disconnection occurs within the first 8 minutes after the match starts, the match will be restarted.
. If the server disconnection occurs after the 8 minutes the game starts, the team with the highest score will be declared the winner of the match.
. If any player from either team intentionally/unintentionally disconnects, the match will continue with insufficient team members. If the disconnection occurs more than 4 times within the first 8 minutes, the match will be restarted.

Edited 15.04.08:
Please take note that the tournament may take more than 1 day to complete due to the large scale of the event. Tentatively, here are the changes in the tournament dates:

10th May: Preliminary
11th May: Semi and Finals

The extension of the tournament will only take place if there are 32 teams. So please subit your forms earliest so that we can all make this a fun and exciting tournament!

Teams are recommended to bring own keyboard or mouse as TBuns equipment can really get you owned...


Edited 14.04.08:
I've included a parental consent form for your kids under 18.
Also I've made updates to the rules on non-Malaysian players and many others. Updates are in red for your reference.

if any of clans are sending more than one team, please make sure the clan names listed.

i'll be seeding the players based on the information provided, so if i dont have any clue as to which clan you belong, dont blame me if you're playing against one another.

there is no quota for SG teams, they just need to have at least 3 out of 5 malaysian players.

also, i know many of you are competing but to those aren't, i'm looking for volunteer marshalls.

kindly pm me your name and contact details if interested.

i need TWO volunteers for now.

TQ!

the event? small but honest. it was a good effort and wished they had more space so that more people could see the GH3 game. it was hard to see from crowding.

plus i believe FPS games are only made possible because of auto aim. otherwise its just plain arcadish. my 2cents.

very imba weapon.

you've got to tell us where are you from.

it has a to be a secret. otherwise there wouldn't be any conspiracy theories

wooo, gen-x. havent heard that name in ages.

Ok, I'll just elaborate more on whats mentioned in the PDF file attached on the 1st page, 1st post. since a few have asked questions which has clearly been stated in the R&R.

First place team will receive RM1500 meaning each member will get RM300 from the tournament and will be barred from the next one.
Second place team will receive RM500 which means RM100 each member and will not be barred from the next tournament.
Third place team will receive 5 Saitek Keyboards. Go check it up over the net. It looks really hightech.. lol Like some sorta robot keyboard.

Top scorer gets a Saitek Keyboard also. Note: The Saitek Gaming Keyboard has been changed to a regular futuristic looking due to unavailability.

Registration as you know will end on the 30th of April. It is the last day of April and is on a Wednesday. Those willing to register, please drop by Tbun, Aman Suria and register. Those below 18 can register but are required to attach a Parental Consent Form with their parent's/guardian's signature on it. Fees are still the same in this case. Foreigners can participate in this tournament but only a maximum of 1 is allowed in each team. 4 must be Malaysians.

Now, for the In-Game stuff....

All maps are in Regular mode except the Search and Destroy map which takes place in Backlot. This, Backlot, will be played in Hardcore conditions. A Rank 55 profile with everything unlocked will be provided for every player. All weapons are allowed except the P90 and all attachments are allowed except the Grenade Launcher. All perks are allowed except RPG(Perk 1), Sonic Boom(Perk 2) and Matrydom(Perk 3).

Each map will take approximately 15 minutes meaning max time taken for each match will be a total of 45 minutes(+-), if teams play the 3rd and deciding map.

Boleh faham?

no, this is Tbun AMAN SURIA. its in Pee Jay.

know anywhere in Pee Jay?

in here, nobody knows anything about the Starcraft Tournament.

in the meantime, wait till Ashely gets a map for you. then it'll be easier.

HOI! Those are my lines. But thanks for speaking on my behalf.

Since this is the first official CoD4 tournament, feedback is appreciated. I do hope that fence sitters aren't just going to sit. Go grab your guns and I'll see you in the tourney!

This is the beauty of customisation. I would like to see teams and players strategise on the best set of perks to use. They may want to use X3 Frags, but everyone else will be at a some disadvantage. Plus each team wont know what perk the other team is using.

At the end of the day, a team or player skill will determine things.

Nope i wont be banning the perks you guys requested. I want to see some carnage!

XEF, FFF and CERT, if you guys are in do send in the forms ASAP.

HolyBoy offered to help marshall. I've also got 3 other people assisting me in case he can't.

You wanna help too? I suggest forming a team since many people here cannot form 1 team.

sorry boyz. im not in malaysia and wont be back till this weekend.

ashley, i believe your tried calling me earlier right? you best send me a pm. ill try to reply from there.

n thanks for helping me with the queries. i'll see if i can accidentally let your team win. lol.

btw, the tournament is a single elimination. lose and you're out.

Text in Black was sent by Ashley.

Text in Red are my replies.

the players are not allowed to leave the game and reedit the classes but are they allowed to change between their 5 custom classes during the game? I think this should be allowed since it gives teams the option to go between defensive style or offensive style within the game and it would be easier for marshalls too since making sure 10 players dont change class might be hard.

MY ANSWER: Players can change the classes before the start of each match but cannot leave mid-game to change classes.

Somebody in the forum asked if he could register 1st before having a team of five. At the moment, he only has 4 players but want to register 1st and here are ur options:

1) No, he cant register till he has a complete team.
2) Yes, he can register but stil has to pay RM50 but will be disqualified once the tournament day comes and he doesnt have the 5th member.
3) Yes, he can register and play with only 4 members.

what do u think?


MY ANSWER: wait till there's 5 players. Plenty of slots available.

Hey, I think single elimination might end the tournament pretty quickly and there wont be much chance for teams which does a mistake... I think if there are lets say 12 teams, split them into 2 groups and have 6 teams in each. Each of them takes turns against each other and the top 3 of each group remains while the bottom is removed and from there there will be 6 left meaning 3 fights and then they will randomly fight another team by drawing lots...

I hope you get what i mean... Basicly, the 1st round should be that kind of elimination to give the new players a fighting chance and not be so harsh on them...

MY ANSWER: Sorry but will have to do single elimination because there's no time. If there is going to be 32 teams, Saturday will be just the 1st and 2nd rounds, taking nearly 10 hours to complete. Leagues/round robbing will take a freaking long time. The previous tournament at Gamers Hideout with CoD4 on X360.... Just 4 teams took8 hours to finish! FYI, I have a wedding dinner on Saturday so it can't drag too long. Plus players will be too exhausted. I've given best 2 out of 3 games to make up for this. Some teams may excel at TDM, some and S&D...

another thing is....
the communication between players...
"When a match is live, only team captains are allowed to use global in-game messages. Other players must use team-only in-game messages."
There is a problem here... meaning teams are only allowed to communicated through text chat? Its going to be very tough to see cooperation in this case cause its very slow and inefficiant. I think, everybody in a team can speak out using voice but with a limit and the limit is that they dont disturb other players and when they die like in HQ or SnD, they have only 1 or 2 seconds to speak cause thats how long it takes from the die u die and the view swtiches to one of ur teammates...
IMO, talking should be allowed but once the player is dead, they have only till they start spectating.

MY ANSWER: This rule refers to in-game chat, not real chat. Outside, you can talk as much as you want until you die. Dead people don't talk.

Ashley, thanks for compiling the information for me.

Elimination is the only option to finish up. If you have a some ideas, you can share with me. I'm the organizer by the way.

Unless there are only a handful of teams, which i doubt will be a handful.

For a group elimination format to take place like football matches, its gonna take a lot of dedicated players over several weeks. Dedicated players are extemely few. Even for DotA leagues like the TBun league has many walkovers. Are you going to be able to put in all the effort? Are your teammates capable of it as well?

In earlier CS tournaments, you only play 24 points. And the game finishes very quickly. VERY quickly. Here, if you excel in either TDM or S&D.... you might stand a better chance. This is already by far the best method. I'm sure you won't want just and S&D tourney right?

You're welcome but your support to the tournament is more important than my effort!

So Lewi4, any ideas thus far?

Ok, noted. Not a problem. Just make sure that you guys try your best on that day!

WHOA! So much activity in just 2 days. Good to know that there's so much happening here.

Its his secret to winning and scoring in football matches. Hint, hint!

Headsets not required to speak. Players can speak to one another, or whisper if they dont want their opponents to hear so long as THEY ARE NOT DEAD.

Also, i'm very well aware of the single elimination process but for now, the first tournament will use Single Elimination methods. Double Elimination will take just as long.

But not to fear. I've got other methods to run tournaments in future... stay tuned!

I'll have a drug test at the end of the tournament. lol

he's going to 'throw' flashbangs with his camera.

good to see so many teams registered for this tournament.

final preparations are on the way to make this event a success. team leaders, do remember to check your phone as ill be smsing updates to everyone.

until then, keep practising!

yes it will. the semis and finals will be happening on Sunday. first 2 round of Prelims happening n Saturday.

the whole tournament will be postponed...
