Once the captain has gotten his team into the server and all players are ready, the server will be reset and the official run will begin. PLEASE NOTE: Once the server has been reset and the run started you MUST complete the run, regardless of circumstances.

I like how this is set up. The only thing I would watch for are the obvious lighthouse cheaters. I know valve took care of the rock cheat, but I'm not sure if there are any others. You may just want to check every team out when they are doing their qualifying round.

first off....what? second....wait what? third...i would think it would be safe to say that every one here, well that is everyone attending the event, will be playing games that they have legitimately purchased. fourth....are you interested in playing on the team or no? |

Yeah wht the hell. I probably won't be in until later in the day Friday. I won't ask off from work since a few other guys already put in and I am not going to start some sort of days off competition.
I only asked about Steam because I ran into an event a few years ago where I bought and loaded up a game only to find out the tourny was using some chopped and diced copy so I couldn't play.
I'm not the best at this but I liek it.

This was just announced http://wanfest.newegg.com/You should check out the L4D tourney Iz. Not to give you more things to think about but Newegg is just doing the No Mercy level and they had to include all these illegals: Violations:
The following is a list of illegal spots during match play:
* The vents behind the elevator on the 28th floor of No Mercy 4 are illegal.
* Camping vents while a tank is active is illegal.
* On No Mercy 3, if a tank is active, going in the bathroom in the restauraunt and camping on top of the stalls is illegal.
The following is not allowed during live match play:
* Skipping any crescendo event without triggering it is illegal.
* Blocking the path of the survivors with a car or a tree or any other moveable object which prevents them from advancing is illegal.
* Any method of circumventing the infected spawn timer is illegal.
* Being in a position that is not reachable by regular zombies as a survivor is illegal.
* Camping anywhere the infected cannot attack you is illegal.
* Bunny hopping with the hunter to increase damage pounces is illegal
I know it's too late and too much work to go through each level and list off the illegal spots, so we're good how we are. Hopefully there won't be any asshat teams that use exploits like these. Win because you are the better gamer, not because you knew of the secret toilet area in which the tank can't get you. Hell most of the time I won't even do the corner/closet thing because it just ain't fun. |

I have played on just about every online tournament since the game has been released and not only have the rules that [GPA]Kritheon has posted above become uniform but also a few other things.
Tank spawns every round. (because some maps are just too easy with out a tank.)
And most recently Healthpack spawns have been converted to pills.
You still start with your original 4 health packs but instead of a ton of health packs spawning throughout the map they are all pills.
This just makes it more intense, and every well placed infected attack is actually worth something when the survivors can not just walk into the next room and find 4 health packs.
