Day Of Defeat: SoCal LAN 7 Announced

By: Omar Martinez - Published April 14, 2009 at 4:17 AM EDT - Writer Archive

Basic Guidelines and Rules

General Guidelines:
  • All applicable CAL rules shall apply.
  • In order to keep things moving smoothly, each match will be allowed a maximum of one hour to complete. Preparation will be 10 minutes, and a maximum of 5 minutes at half time.
  • Matches will be 20 minutes per half. At the 10th minute of the hour, you are expected to start your match, with AT LEAST 4 players on each team. Anything less and the match will be forfeited.
  • Teams will be allowed to restart their match only if a player crashes within the first 3 minutes. If a team caps out, or is on the verge of capping out (one flag left to capture), restarts will not be allowed under any circumstances.
Player Rules:
  • Using configurations that are not authorized is illegal. This includes rates and other client variables that are not allowed in CAL. Access to the console is not allowed unless supervised.
  • Recording demos is allowed, and can be recovered at the end of the LAN. More information on this TBA.
  • Map exploits/boosting/stacking are not allowed, unless a player can physically get there on their own. These will be easily noticeable by everyone in and outside the match.
Match Information:
  • The first day will consist of GROUP PLAY. Each group will consist of 6-8 teams. This will determine seeds for the following day's single/double elimination tournament. Number of teams for each group and teams advancing will depend on the number of teams that show.
  • It will be at an admin's discretion to restart a match if there are any technical issues.
  • Ventrilo will be used for voice communication.
  • Ties will result in a two-half 10-minute match.
Other Things:
  • The LAN center cannot host all teams at one point, so please do your part in avoiding unnecessary crowding inside the LAN center. This presents a fire hazard, and could jeopardize the completion of the tournament!
  • There will be HLTVs set up, and matches/scores/brackets will be set up near the entrance if you are curious about these statuses.
  • Sign off Steam Friends!! There is always that one person on your buddy list who will try to annoy you.
