oh...my...god.....i think this is an elaborate hoax and somehow we all bought it...

u wanna bind players with a fkin contract now? jeez, with this talk about leagues, free agents and contracts it's really starting to sound like..like...like FOOTBALL!

but its not =(  contract kinda takes out the casualness in the game, dont you think?

Apparently tournaments are casual now. I guess we can take out the rules then. Eh. Maybe don't need any marshalls or organizers. Oh wait. Looks like no tournament at all now. =/

I'm sorry if I sounded abrasive, but in my experience, after their first tournament nobody joins for fun.

Eh well done, Grr speaks for the world now. If you have contracts, who's gonna oversee them? I dont remember CoD4 Association of Malaysia. Who is going to validate the contacts? Do we need solicitors to negotiate our contracts now too? Contracts just make it so...so...so damn bloody complex and the next thing anybody knows, we're gonna have lawsuits filed against people who breached the contract blah blah blah. IMO, registration should do just fine.

I said 'in my experience', genius. Unless expressing a personal opinion is 'speaking for the world' then I'm not wrong. You don't need a solicitor to negotiate your contracts unless you can't read. Teams that require these free agents for their league campaign will be cursing when the free agent that they have hired goes missing/leaves them hanging. It's just a simple contract drawn up for the purposes of hiring someone conditionally. If that's so difficult for you to understand, I suggest self-employment for your vocational future.

Death has very nicely suggested something that will help teams that are short of players and protect both parties at the same time. Obviously the league committee will oversee these contracts and how they are played out. How would you like to be screaming at a voicemail of someone you met 2 days ago and asked to play for your team? Well, even with contracts, you can't avoid that, but at least you could get something out of it. If you're not interested, don't sign up. Besides, for someone whom I haven't seen play in any tournaments (despite professing to have been at the Blitz tourney) you have tons to add, don't you?

stop being a troll..


The contracts are for promotional purposes only. If you know how the COD4 community and organizers run, you'll see why it may attract them.
Notice the amount of teams looking for players and notice the amount of players looking for teams. The contracts just make it official.
I noticed this from Tbun's First tournament by New Era. A majority of teams needed extra's for their team.

If you read through the contract rules, the commitee will oversee payment and breaches. AND it only affects free agents, not casual players.
If you want to be in a competition but not permanently in a clan, the free agent listings gives you a better chance of being there. Think Freelancer.

In the industry, any industry, you'll have freelancers, those who understand the terms and conditions while wanting to be a participant but not completely tied down to a corporate ruling. The Listings is FOR those people. Why be a freelancer? Money and reputation.

The reason this is here is also to promote getting paid for gaming while gaining a little more respect for gamers nationwide. If you cant handle a simple gaming contract, which has like.. 2 clauses, how are you going to survive in real life when you deal with real contracts that have 90 - 120 clauses.

This argument is invalid, Because the contract are at the concent of 3 parties. Player, Commitee and Clan. So long as there are 2 parties in concensus and there is a valid contract, all we need to do is black list those who do not follow the rules from the league. No one is going to pay you RM 1000 to play for them, therefore there is no need for a lawsuit.

Other than this, the contracts are also to ensure players dont FFK teams that are willing to play and pay, but are missing a player or two for that particular event.

Please think thoroughly about it before putting it forward, we may make mistakes as organizers and players, but ultimately some thought has been put to this. You must also understand the difference between a critique and an insult.

my question is wat about borrowing a member from the same clan?for example SWL.RvG is a member short n they would like to borrow a member of SWL.PeW for just 1 match,would that be possible?I know SWL.PeW is banned from this  league but its just 1 member n it reduces complications of finding new players.
