Hi guys, Rules/Dates/Fixtures are all being finalized by this week.

As you know, the official date to begin the league is actually November 15th, 2008.
Now, to give the best satisfactory results to all participants, i would like you to vote when the official games should begin.

Officially, Each team will play each week, every saturday starting from 10am-4pm, with 2 matches playing at once, with a total of 12 matches a day. To make things run smoothly, the times and draws are done automatically, before you arrive, therefore, all you need to do is check the website, find out when you play, and come just before the game begins. This is done so that you dont have to wait hours just for your game to start.

Alternatively, the website will eventually show the fixtures for the upcoming weeks, so long as you've already registered.

The website is still under construction, and can hopefully show itself right before WGT.

The League is sheduled to run for 10 weeks (means 10 game sessions, not 10 weeks straight) with week 10 as the finals.

Every alternate week, there are side events that will be held (week 2, week 4, week 6, week 8) that may consist of;

question : lets say a clan consist of players A B C D E..one weekend, E cant play, can player F replace him? because i want to join....but december going holiday for 3 weeks...

how?!?!?!

This post has been edited by radio_head: Oct 23 2008, 07:45 AM

You can, so long as F is a sub. You MUST register your subs or else you'll need to hire someone to play for you.
Freelancers cannot play for the first 2 matches and playoffs (Finals)

How do you "count" for every game? It is like football format? Win - 3point, draw - 1point each team and lose got no point?

i vote for jan-april bcoz.. december there's to many celebrations.. raya haji, awal muharam n christmas.. people might going for holiday. But anyway, the majority will win

canz i bes marshal plox? applepie....

nov exam belum habis lah lols
errr our games snd mode oni kan? too many mode sakit kepala strating

3 modes. SnD,Domination,TDM. I think strat that you really think a lot about is SnD. Domination and TDM needs strat also but you can always strat in-game to quickly change the pace of the game.

I don't really understand what's the point of playing TDM. Although there's some hidden strategy to be use in TDM but I do think SnD, Domination and maybe Headquarters or Sabo would be better.

Yea neither do I understand. But let's leave that to the next meeting ok.

Well, consider this. Like what slayerz said, December a lot of celebration, even though we don't want to go back to hometown, how if our parents want us to go back, forcefully. Sure damn a lot players FFK. I suggest January - April.

SND!!!!

i say start on november take a break during december n continue on january!this way organizers can sort out any problems they faced n comeback more organized january onwards.

voted november march to keep the cod4 momentum going.so far no tourneys scheduled for the next 2 months.

+1, it's a good idea. It's like winter break in football

Voted Nov-March.
Reason same as pr8sh.

nov march

bumpsss

same here, november till march =D

BUMP!!
November - March FTW!!

no one comment on the side events ah

the side events sound great.would there be entry fees for all the events?if so how would is it expected to cost?

also i have heard that there is a mod where u can only kill ur enemies with headshots.that would be a cool side event as well lol.

Side events are cool. Maybe the sniper finalist to challenge me. or quackwhore. lol. other than that, what pr8sh said is true. however the ffa, getting 32 comps at one go is

the snipa map is a secret?
i think shld add a rule that HIDING after one kill is disallowed.
later *bang* and d rest of the match the poor victim trying to find the killa but can't cuz he's hiding.... lolx

Snipa map is so small, your scope will be up that mans ass. But then again, long enough to snipe.

there will be NO entry fees for members of the League. However, these side events are open to all non-league players, except players forbidden from the league (RnF, aXe, w0w, eMo, FFFElites, SWL.pEw!)

For those who are not part of the league (in an actual team) will need to pay a small fee of RM 15-25 Ringgit depending on the type of side event.

Brian, any estimation on the Registration Fees for a team?

Also, will this take place in Blitzone's normal noisy environment or will there be steps to fix that?

p.s: just realized this izzint the right thread to ask this, but heck, i already posted then checked the Topic title.. apologies bout taht.

hey james, a few steps are being taken,

For example, there will only be 2 matches simutaneously means 4 teams. Since its saturday morning - afternoon, i doubt there will be much interruption by other people.
In order to reduce noise, i recommend bringing your own headphones and sound cards.

Other than the precautions we already prepared for, the rest will be seen on that day itself.

Dont worry, we play COD4 too, we know how you felt in the previous tournies.

Actually is about that day when we went Blitz to have training with SWL and ESP, we can't adapt that environment cause the sound was just too loud until I have to scream. I scream until people outside the shop also can hear.

I would be appreciate if the sound "system" can take action during the league or side event gameplay.

Ah, that wont be a problem. Generally we will have full cooperation from the workers and owners.

So when it's gonna start?? End confirmation please...

Wahaha, with the poll, November 15.

Forms not out yet zomg..

have to wait for the servers yo!

Thx yo! chill la, WGT not yet end mar

(1vs1 Sniper Arena)

Wooooo sounds interesting ..

Ahahah No0ostah! finally you are here. xD

Omg go get the Qlimax_aim_map lar! nice and big =D. Great for 1v1's

hey so is it confirmed that the league will be starting on the 15 of november??

Yeah...was wondering the same thing also...15 of November?

Yeah, will be announced this weekend

register going to be online ar?

lol 2 days before my birthday =.=

Worst come to worst, i'll do paper registration for the first time. Then will add those registrants to the new system later...

What map ish this!? Lets try it quack. BTW. Isn't team 4 banned? Means quack cannot join the sniper tourney rite. .. . . . . . ..

eh confirm ar it starts next week?

Friday got meeting of Rules & Regulation, should be finalized by Friday.

A player without clan can join? o . o

Obviously not. =) You need at least a 5 man team. What you can do is perhaps participate in the free agent contract thingy for teams that need players or join in the side events for the league. =)

Added on November 9, 2008, 5:04 amthis is my questions:

1.how much is the entrance fees?
2.how many subs are allowed?

This post has been edited by YingYang69: Nov 9 2008, 05:04 AM

I think most of us ( college students ) will be having finals around middle and end of november so I agree with you. It should start around December

Will the league be point based?

Will have to wait for Brian to confirm, but from what i gathered from the Meeting last friday,

1. Entrance Fees are RM150 per team of max 7
2. err.. yes 5 players + 2 subs..

teq, yes point based, like a football league

1 win - 3 points
1 lost - 0 points

BUT! there will be 1 point awarded for a draw as well i think.
example,

Team A vs Team B

1st map - SnD Crash - Team A wins
2nd map - Bloc DOM - Draw
3rd map - Countdown TDM - Team A wins

so, team A wins the match thus gets 3 points, but as what was discussed on the day, Team B will get 1 point for drawing the 2nd map.

unless TDM gets shoved as a 1st and 2nd map, i doubt we will have draws....... mathematically draws are possible in DOM, but i honestly havent seen one.

These are info which i gathered from the meeting on friday, but should wait for either brian or josh to come confirm

Yea, this thing I agree, forgotten to ask Brian for this 1... We have no preparation, I just finished my exam and my teammate still not yet, means only can do twice training just before amateur league...

I agree with this *Votes up!*

Your teammates are prepared, every time I look at xfire atleast 7 XEF guys are playing in HC SND servers lawl.

Anyway, I just realized that 22nd will clash with SKOTH4. So I suggest we start in December, have that Chinese New Year break then continue on until April and we can celebrate my birthday in March midway, AWESOME!

Those aren't my teammates lar... Different team, mine is LAN squad mar.

Anyway, December would be break whole month due a lot of celebrations. So if postpone to 22nd, first week of December might be taken, 3 weeks holiday. Just my centy suggestion though.

thank you..
i would really be appreciate for that..
yes,like bitebug said most of da college students will b hvin finals around tht time...
i dont mind startin it earlier but dont u guys think tht finals r important too?
for ppl who lives or studyin in kl or s'ngor,tht might b tht prob if necessary but for ppl who live or studyin far?
so,at least brian pls considerate bout tht..
i cant even come 4 da meetin 2 speak out bout this but i really hope u will consider bout this n i hope ill get a support from da community...
i know based on da votes 24 votes vs 10 votes,thts obvious u guys wanted it 2 start this month but at least juz bring it 4ward 4 juz 1 more week...

Added on November 9, 2008, 12:28 pmthnk u james 2306 for answerin my questions..

Added on November 9, 2008, 12:37 pmthnk u sync..
i appreciate ur support..
but at least u can still train b4 da game day but unfortunately none of team can b send...
3 teams has been reduced to 2 teams due to subs..
now this 2 teams cant b send at all due 2 my absent if da tourney really start on 15th..
my finals end on 17th..russell,nigel n dryice r dependin their transportation on me...
well,u guys know tht they r kids especially russell...u guys r not tellin me tht they can come by train...
haha...i dont think his mom wud let him as in hes juz 9 yrs old...
lambofu n tigeryu starts their exam on 31st but still they said they can participate coz they r studyin in taylors n tht wud b much trouble...
i hope from this xplaination,u guys wud b understand my situation
i know CERT dont send team at all wudnt b much prob coz its juz bcoz of 2 teams,u guys need 2 postpone but isnt this community need more supports?the more team will b more merrier...

---

Added on November 9, 2008, 12:42 pmok,thnk u kura..
i appreciate ur support too..
i didnt know bout clashin date between this league n skoth but isnt skoth is online?
based on wat i think i read if im not mistaken,there will b 2 games in a day...
n skoth is a self-arrange tourney for group phase...
so i think u guys n can still arrange da time...
but ur idea was not tht bad by startin da amateur league on dec...
tht wud appropriate for most da community coz most of msian players r students xcept sch players coz they r hvin their hols already...

Hmm, i will discuss this with josh later in the day. We should be able to move it, but it will require rescheduling.

Dont worry guys, i know finals are important, since the majority have problems with the dates, ill reconsider the start dates. (Gives me some buffer time and time for u all to register too)

thnk u so much brian..
i really really much appreciate tht..
i promise tht this tourney wont b a frustratin 1...
thnk u again...

Woah! Amatuer League! I wana join!!!

yeah my finals are also around this time.. i think 2nd last week of november.. not really a prob for me as its just 1 saturday a week and 1 game for 1 hour... so dont really see the prob in playing the tourney just the preparation.. yingyang u made some good points but no offense, it was VERY hard to understand as u speak in broken english.. not flaming u but yeah.. good points.. as for me..i voted for the december start. i guess december there will be lotsa festive acitivities going on but i would say that would only happen some where during the 3rd week of december when christmas is closer. b4 that i doubt many teams wont be able to make the 1 hour a saturday game. its not a lot of time so could consider that as well.. just my 2 cents..

in the end the majority still wants it started in november and yes even though this is for the cod4 community we must trust our organizers as they are trying to make this tourney as easy as possible for us. so watever dates they decide on we shud respect and follow and not complain ya guys..

also another thing brian, another suggestion i have is why not those teams that register be allowed to play later on? like maybe something like those hu cannot play on the 15th be put in the same grp and play later on to accomodate them?? then those that CAN start on the 15th can maybe play an extra game so they dont have to come back later when the LATER group plays. i guess it would help? just another suggestion.. trying to think of ways to help out as well..

other suggestions that i can come up with is if the organizing committee really cant do anything about post poning the dates due to their own problems, why not those teams that cant make it i guess forfeit their points for those weeks? its 12 games per team during grp stage and its still chasable even if u drop 6 points.. plus it is a double elimination so even if teams dont make it thru the grp stages they still have a chance at glory. that would be a last option thing.. then randomly pull grp names out of a hat to see hu gets the forfeited points =P, like a by.. hahaha...

anyways watever u guys decide on H2o will definately support this tourney as u guys have worked so hard and also SUSU and QUACK wont be in WOOHOO!! jump for joy.. but sadly.. still got the likes of SWL(RVG) FFF and XEF and many more elite teams that are gonna KICK my teams butts.. hehe.. peace out guys..

[H2o].D3atH

haha, not insulting u yeah.. i do not flame peopleszzzzzz.. anyways..i wasnt referring to u as complaining..i know u are just suggesting as well.. wat im trying to say is in the end its up to the organizers and watever they decide on we cant complain.. thats all..hehe... but yeah.. hopefully brian will take my suggestion into consideration.. BRIAN!!! read my post PLOX.. lol

May I know how many teams already express interest to join the amateur league, and what teams? Just curious.

eMo-Ness!~~ Can't join d lo lidat!~~
Since i ain't got no friggin clan!

A lot of clans recruiting lar.

first of all i'd like to say sorry for not attending the meeting due to scrims going on and we were considering tactics and strats.

secondly
i'd say a new post with updated info and such to be up and a new poll to be taken.
based on the changes i'm sure many teams aren't on equal footing in terms of date agreement.


cheers

yup2...
stardust is rite...
actually if we want 2 really think,sumtimes there must b a team tht cant fulfill da conditions given by any organizers...
thts y da poll were bein set up...
ok,ill juz accept anythin then...
if my team can participate,we will...if not,nx time then...

Crash shall we have a new poll up since the rules has already been finalized and materialised on the forums.

Clans should by now already have the picture of what they want and personal requests by each leader should be different this time around.

What say you mate.

Don't worry guys. crash will get round to it. This is almost a full time job for him =)

Sanction nevxt time i see you we go yam cha. been a while. ^^
