We've had a team of several dedicated people working nearly round-the-clock to prepare for this, and here's the awesomeness that they have created:
Global Gamers is proud to announce that we are hosting a Global Gamers Paintball 2.0 League. The league will be the first time since PBCup 2006 that teams will be able to participate in a structured league format. The league is free to enter, and to celebrate the first season, there will be prizes for the top two teams!
IRC Channel: #DPLeagueWebsite: http://www.globalgamers.net/leagueRegistration InfoRegistration will be provided on the website. Log in to the league website using your GG NickServ account information. Teams must have no fewer than 4 players and no more than 8. Read more about teams in the Rules section below.
RulesMatch fixtures- Match fixtures and timings are determined at the start of the week.
- If both teams can agree to change a game's scheduled time in the presence of an admin, games may be rescheduled.
- Each team has up to 15 minutes after the game's scheduled start time to have at least one player online, or else they will incur a 0-50 loss. When their first player connects, that team then has another 15 minutes to get a second player online, or else they will incur a 0-50 loss. If only 2 people on a team show up for a match, they have the option of forfeiting or playing.
Gameplay- Matches must be played on servers with an approved config. These servers will be labeled and include both US and EU servers.
- No more than 6 players per team on the server.
Teams- Must have a minimum of 4 players and a max of 8.
- 1 captain per team plus 1 optional "co-captain" allowed
- Teams must be formed in advance; no new teams in the middle of the season.
- The captain invites players to join the team.
- Each player must accept their invitation.
- All players must be registered on DPLogin at least one month before a season starts.
- Teams don't have to be registered as DPLogin clans, and are made of people that want to play together.
- No players can change clans during the season.
- A new player may join a team mid-season if he hasn't already been part of another team during the season.
- Not all players assigned to a team are required to play during the season.
Cheating & forfeits- Each player must upload the screenshot and demo of each match. Failure to do so will result in suspension from further league games until all are submitted.
- If a team member leaves a game having informed the players/ref prior to leaving, leaving their team with 1 or less members, they forfeit which counts as 50-0 on the current map and any remaining maps needing to be played. This player must still submit a screenshot and demo.
- If a team member leaves without informing the players/ref prior to leaving, leaving their team with 1 or less members, they forfeit the current and remaining maps 50-0, and the player who "ragequit" is suspended for the next game. This player must still submit a screenshot and demo.
- If a player plays in any map, no matter how long, he must provide a screenshot and demo. If the player doesn't stay till the end of the game, he must get the screenshot and demo of when he played manually, as the automatic ending-screenshot won't be taken.
- If a player is "timed out", causing his team to have 1 or less players available, then that team forfeits that map (unless the player reconnects within 1 round after timing out) and they can wait up to 15 minutes for the return until they forfeit the rest of the match. No suspensions are given out.
- If a member of a team is caught cheating, either in or outside of an official league game, that player will be suspended from all league games indefinitely.
- Any team with a member who is caught cheating will receive 1 warning, and they will retroactively lose any matches that member played in.
- If a team has already received a warning for cheating and then a second member is caught cheating, that team will be disqualified from the season.
Prizes- Prizes will be awarded to the top 4 players from 1st and 2nd place teams.
1st place can choose between Razer or SteelSeries mousepad, SteelSeries headset, or ThinkGeek.com certificate (or Amazon.com certificate if they're in NA).
- 2nd place can choose between SteelSeries mousepad or ThinkGeek.com certificate (or Amazon.com certificate if they're in NA).
- Top 4 players are determined by activity in matches played. Each member of the winning team for each match should submit a screenshot of the final scores. The 4 players of each team who appear in the most matches (with a high enough score to have not joined the match at the last minute) will be eligible for prizes. If there is a tie between players on the same team, the player with the higher KDR will be eligible for the prize.
