    PAM 4.02 is the required server-side competition mod for all TWL Ladder and League matches. The mod files are avilable from the TWL Call Of Duty 4 Downloads Page.

    -TWL PAM4 Ruleset:
    z_svr_rules_twlna_v1.60.zip contains the TWL PAM4 Ruleset file. It contains all of the Server Configuration files needed for all TWL Ladder and League matches. This file MUST be used in conjunction with the PAM4 Mod. This file is available from the TWL Call Of Duty 4 Downloads Page.

    The following DVAR (server setting) is the correct and required setting for this ladder.

    Example of RCON usage:
    /rcon exec twl_ladder_mod.cfg

    If PAM 4.02 AND the TWL PAM4 Ruleset are loaded correctly, you will see "PAM 4.02" and "TWL NA SD Modified Ladder v1.60" in the upper right hand corner of the screen during the Warmup and Halftime periods.

    -NOTE: (Subs & server switch)
    Substitutions are allowed every 5 rounds but if teams wish to switch servers for the match then that is done after the 10th round is completed.


    -Team Size:
    5v5 - The number of players per team will be 5. The minimum number of players to legally play a match is 5. Teams fielding fewer than 5 may continue to play the match at the other teams discretion. Teams may play with more players provided it is agreed upon by both captains.

    -Qualified Servers:
    Matches must be played on servers running the most current TWL approved version of Call of Duty 4 and the associated maps. The match must be played on a dedicated server connected to at least a T1 connection.

    A player is NOT allowed to play on the same server as the client.

    A server capable of handling up to 14 players is necessary for every match. The server must be running in dedicated mode and following all of the necessary rules specified under General Game play Info. The server MUST be password protected. In the event of excessive lag, another server may be chosen or the match may be re-scheduled.

    Teams are awarded points for Capturing and Holding the Radio Location. Any given location can only be held for a maximum of 2:00 minutes.

    -Determining the Winner:
    The winner of the match is determined as the team with the highest score combined from both halves.

    -Over-Time:
    In the event that the combined score ends up in a tie, then an Over-Time round will be played. Over-Time is played as a single 15 minute round. The overall match winner is determined as the team with the highest combiend score including the Over-Time round. In Over-Time, the Defender has side choice & the Over-Time round must be played on the server where the 2nd round was completed. NO substitutions will be allowed in Overtime.

    [ One Life To Live (OLTL)

    One Life To Live (OLTL)

    -Basic Objective:
    The basic obejctive, for both teams, in the One Life To Live gametype is to completely eliminate all members of the opposing team within a given timelimit.

    -Match Setup:
    Each match is played out over any number of 4:00 minute rounds. There is no re-spawning, no halftime, and no team swapping.

    -Scoring:
    Each time a team completely eliminates all members of the opposing team, they are awarded 1 'round point'. A 'map point' is awarded to the team who first receives 3 'round points'.

    -Determining the Winner:
    The winner of an OLTL Match is the first time to win 2 'map points'.

    -Over-Time:
    In the event that any 4:00 round ends with players alive on both teams, then a 1:30 Over-Time period will ensue. During this Over-Time period, teams are given an automatic UAV Scanner, to aid in finding the remaining members of the other team. If the Over-Time period ends still with players on both teams, then the round is considered a draw, and no score is awarded.

    -Special Note(s):
    The Sabotage Gametype is being used, currently, for One Life To live, because of a known spawning issue with the War (Team Death Match) gametype. This spawning issue does not affect the Sabotage gametype, so the admins chose to use Sabotage.

    Using the Sabotage Gametype is not without a couple of drawbacks. There are a couple of things that teams NEEDs to be aware of in this setup.
    • The Bomb is still present in this setup. Because of certain DVARs that were used to limit the standard Sabotage setup, if ANY player picks up the Bomb, the server will experience ~3 seconds of lag. The solution to this is simply do not pick up the bomb.
    • If a player does pick up the Bomb, it CAN be planted as it normally would in Sabotage. DO NOT DO THIS. Any Team who plants the bomb will automatically forfeit the match. No questions, no excuses.
    • By using the Sabotage gametype for this ladder, we are able to add a custom Overtime that other gametypes do not allow. The details of this OverTime period are defined below in the -Draws/OT section. What teams need to be aware of is that this overtime uses a cheat-protected DVAR. During the Overtime period, players will see the following on-screen error: "*WARNING*: Cvar g_compassShowEnemies (=1) must be EQUAL TO 0". This is known, and in this ladder only, it is acceptible. PB will NOT kick any players for this error.


    [ Sabotage

    Sabotage

During the Over-Time period, re-spawn times will increase by 5 seconds each minute, until a maximum spawn time of 60 seconds is reached. Over-Time ends when the Weapons Stash has been destroyed.
    Defender has side choice in Overtime and the overtime round will be played on the server where the second half was completed. NO substitutions will be allowed in Overtime.

    Over-Time Mode: promod_mode knockout_mr3
    /rcon promod_mode knockout_mr3


    [ Team DeathMatch

    Team DeathMatch

    -Basic Objective:
    The basic objective, for both teams, in the Team DeathMatch gametype is, simply, to kill members of the other team more often than they kill you.

    -Match Setup:
    Each match is played out over (2) 15:00 minute halves, across (2) maps.

    -Scoring:
    A team is awarded 10 points each time a player of their team gets a kill on a player from the other team.

    The winning team is determined as the team with the highest combined score from both halves of both maps.

    -Over-Time:
    If, after both maps are played, the score is tied between the two teams, then a third map wil be played. The Over-Time map is Crash. The time limit will be 10 minutes, playing only 1 round. The higher scoring team wins the match. NO substitutions will be allowed in Overtime & the Defender has side choice. To report the scores in OT, simply add the OT scores to the final score of the 2nd map.

    -Special Note(s):
    There is an on-going issue with Spawning. It seems (for reasons unknown at this time) that one some servers teams will initially spawn together, whereas on other servers team spawn reandomly across the map. At this time, we do not know the cause of this. It should be noted that servers that experience random spawnng are NOT errorenous servers.

    -Special Note on Team Killing:
    When Infinity Ward originally coded Call Of Duty 4 (and their ModWarfare server mod), they added a condition for Team Kill Penalty. A player who TKs another player will also be killed IF the TK occurs within the first ~10 seconds of any spawn. We, at TWL, are aware of this, but there is no way to over-ride it. We have instated a 3 second Spawn Protection for all No-Respawn Ladders (OLTL and Search and Destroy) as a means of counter-acting this issue. Rounds where this issue occur will NOT be subject to any means of re-play. Simply put, Don't TK.

    -Random Spawning:
    There is an on-going issue with Spawning. It seems (for reasons unknown at this time) that on some servers teams will initially spawn together, whereas on other servers teams spawn randomly across the map. At this time, we do not know the cause of this. It should be noted that servers that experience random spawning are NOT errorenous servers.

    A work-around for this is as follows:
      1) Reboot server.
      2) Start pam4 HC, Stock, MOD, whatever
      3) Change game Type Dom, TDM, whatever
      4) Restart map map_restart

    Game Modifications

    -Patches/Updates:
    Due to the conditions outside of the control of TWL, there are many players who are forced to update their game and/or server. TWL recognizes this issue, and because of it, has modified the rules governing Patching/Updating.

    Any official updates will be instantly approved for any sanctioned matches. Updates to any mod MUST be released by TWL in order to be official for matches.

    • Official updates are defined as:
    • Game Updates released by Infinity Ward
    • Punkbuster Updates released by Evenbalance
    • Config files released by TWL
    • Mod Files released by TWL.
    In the event that player(s) are updated and server(s) are not, TWL will recognize an update period of no more than 3 days after release. This means, from the time an update is released, all players and servers must have the update installed. During this time, rescheduling matches based on player(s) or server(s) not having current updates is acceptible and encouraged.


    -Server Side:
    ALL server's that are to be used for a TWL sanctioned match must be setup in the following manner:
    • Current CoD Version (currently v1.7)
    • Current PAM Mod (currently v4.02)
    • Current TWL PAM Ruleset (currently v1.60)
    • Current TWL Server Configs (currently v1.2)
    • No Gun Sway Mod
    • Any additional server mods that have been authorizezd by TWL
    • Streaming to Punksbusted & PBBans
    • Located within the boundaries of North America
    Any server that does not meet these requirements is not to be used for any TWL sanctioned matches. These requirements are not debatable.

    Also note that any player who posts a server in match comms that is not streaming to both PBBANS & PsB maybe suspended by the AC Team until that server is streaming.


    -Server Setup/Files:
    TWLNAPBConfigs.zip is available in the TWL Download section. This is a mandatory Punkbuster configuration file for all Call of Duty 4 Ladders.

    PsB Streaming is now mandatory for all servers used for ladder play. For setup instructions, view the PsB Streaming Guide

    PBBans Streaming is now mandatory for all servers used for ladder player. For setup instructions, view PBBans Streaming Guide

    No Gun Sway Mod has been approved for use on server's for TWL Match Play. It is available in the TWL Download section. This mod has been approved based on the fact that it addresses a known bug in the CoD4 Engine where shots do not register correctly when a player is 'iron-sighted'. This is both a server- and client-side mod.

    TWLNA_COD4ServCfgs_v1.2.zip is available in the TWL Download section. This is a mandatory server configuration files for all Call of Duty 4 Ladders. Please read the README.txt file that is included for the commands to exec each config file.

    PAM4 is available in the TWL Download section. All teams must download this file as PAM4 is now Officially the mod for all Call of Duty 4 Ladders.
    • pam402.zip contains the most current release of the PAM4 Mod, which is required to be loaded for all TWL CoD4 Ladder Matches. This file can be found in the TWL Download section.

    • z_svr_rules_twlna_v1.60.zip contains the most current release of the TWL NA League/Ladder Rulesets for the PAM4 Mod. This file is required to be on your server, and is available for download from the TWL Download section.

    -Using PAM4:
    Please see -Supported GameTypes and expand the link to your team's Ladder to get the correct PAM4 Mode settings.

    Teams NEED 5 things to be match ready with PAM4:
    • Have PAM4 installed as the ONLY mod.
    • Have The TWL PAM4 RuleSet file loaded onto your server.
    • Have PAM4 enabled.
    • Have the specific TWL Server Config for the ladder
    • Know which command to exec the proper config for match play.

    For any additional assistance on setting up and using PAM4, please read the PAM4 FAQ, located in the CoD4 Ladder Forum.


    -PAM4 Modifications:

    Any changes that need to be made to PAM4 will be done so by Teamwarfare staff and will be posted in the downloads section for all players.

    Any teams that modify PAM4 whatsoever (including renaming the PAM4 folder to anything outside of pam[version]) will be subject to disciplinary actions. We take these offenses very seriously.
      First Offense
    • Forfeiture of the existing game.
    • Founder suspended from TWL for 60 days.
    • Team, Loss of rungs 20%. In cases of ladders having few teams they will be dropped to the bottom.
      Second Offense
    • 1 year site ban
    • Team disbanded

    See "Supported Gametypes:" and click on your team's League for specific details of team sizes.

    -Substitutions:
    Due to the nature of the internet, it is possible for players to be disconnected or dropped from a server. Should this happen, you may substitute an eligible player to fill the spot or allow the dropped player to rejoin. Once connected, the player must join their respective team immediately. Anyone sitting in spectator for over 5 seconds will be considered observing and risk their team forfeiting the match.

    Due to the sizes of some teams, it is acceptable to rotate players at the beginning of new maps or during halftime, while in "Ready Up" mode.

    Match Communication

    -Match Comms:
    ALL match communications MUST go through the Teamwarfare Match Communication system. This can be which can be accessed by team Founders and Captains via the Admin Panel link in the Team Administration section of their team's page. Issues discussed in Match Comms should be Server IP(s), passwords, match settings, scheduling times, or any other relevant match specific information.

    NOTE: TWL Admins use the Match Communication system when verifying information regarding disputes and general match iquiries. If teams have not communicated in Match Comms, any disputes relating match specific issues, other then cheating or smurfing, may be summarily dismissed by an admin because of an inability to validate such problems.

    -Exchanging Server IP and Password:
    The IP and password of the server must be provided to each squad captain 48-hours before the match in Match Comms so teams can check their ping. Any server not posted 48-hours before the match time will be considered ineligible. If the defender fails to provide server information 48 hours prior to the start of the match, they forfiet the right of server selection. In the event neither team posts server info 48-hours before match time, the match will be rescheduled and completed within three days. Rescheduled matches not completed in three days will be killed. In case of a server crash, the unfinished rounds are to be completed with the past score in mind. Please be sure to pay attention to the score in case of a server related issue.

    -Server Selection:
    The Defending team has server selection for the first half, and the Attacking team has server selection for the second half. In the event of Overtime, please see the "Definition of Gametype(s) Section" and click on your specific gametype. Teams may agree to play on one server. If the server does not qualify for reasons such as setup or latency conflict, then it may not be used unless both teams agree.

    -Matches Replayed:
    This format will be used on all TWL CoD4 Ladders. This following applies to all matches that end up in a dispute and ordered to be replayed by an Admin. The default map for all matches to be replayed will be played on TBA. Should TBA already be the selected map for the match then TBA will be used as the alternate.

    Captain's Responsibility

    -TWL Website:
    Team Warfare does utilize an auto-mailer system. The purpose of the auto-mailer is to alert Team Captains of any updates to their team, most commonly Challenges. This system, however, is not always reliable as the only method of notification. As well, the auto-mail does not alert Team Captains of updates such as Rules Updates, PAM Updates, Important Forum Threads, Match Comms, etc.
    It is because of this, that we ask that all Team Captains check the TWL Website at least once daily. A simple 5 to 10 minute visit to the website will give you the chance to check the status of any matches that your team has pending, any new challenges, as well as check the forums for any other important updates.

    -Accepting the Match:
    To challenge a team you must log into your team's Admin panel, also see Ladder Movement. If you are challenging a team you are considered the Attacker of the match. The team being Attacked is referenced as the Defending team. Once attacked the Defending team has 48hrs to respond to the challenge of the Attackers by selecting two different dates and two different times for the Attacking team to select from. Also note that some Ladders may require additional selections such as maps and/or side selection.

    Failure to accept the match within 48hrs will result in the following consequence.

    • Consequence - Defender's forfeit match. Dropped 10 Ladder rungs. Attacker takes Defender's rung.

    Note: Forfeit will NOT include a loss on the record of the team, nor will the other team gain a win on their record.

    -Confirming the Match:
    Once the Defender has offered the dates and times the Attacking team will have 48hrs to confirm one of the two offers by the Defending team. Also note that some Ladders may require additional selections such as maps and/or side selection.

    Failure to confirm the match 48hrs after it was accepted will result in the following consequence.

    • Consequence - Attacker's forfeit match. Dropped 10 Ladder rungs.

    Note: Forfeit will NOT include a loss on the record of the team, nor will the other team gain a win on their record.

    Teams that have these consequences applied will be notified by the auto mailer system. The TWL System monitors and flags all matches in violation. A llama is added each time to the team that violates the Match Acceptance process. Teams that receive 3 or more llama's in a row will be removed from the Ladder.

    -Eligibility for Match:
    There are (2) requirements for player(s) to be eligible to participate in any ladder match. First, all Players must be registered on their team's roster prior to the Challenged Date of the match to be able to play. Leniency is given for people that sign up on the same day. Secondly, all player(s) must have a valid In-Game Identifier (PunkBuster GUID) listed on their profile no less than 24 hour prior to match start time. Exceptions may be agreed upon in Match Comms by the opposing team prior to match start.

    -Roster checks:
    It is the Captain's responsibility to check their opponents roster before the match begins. Should the Captain ignore this and play the match then you are authorizing the player to play in the match.

    -Half-Time Substitution:
    There will be allowed a 10 minute break in between halves (15 minutes if switching servers). Teams that substitute players at the half must have the substitute join immediately.

    -Status Screenshot:
    When smurphing accusations, or anything tied to player identity are brought up in a dispute the Admin must verify the ip address of the players in the match. Captains need to be able to provide the screenshot upon request.

    -Example of Command usage for Server Admin(s):
    /rcon status

    -Screenshots of the Score:
    Periodically you may need an Admin to finish the match results. Every Admin must be able to verify the scores in order to report the match as completed. It is the Captains responsibility from both teams to take screenshots at the end of each half so that the score can be verified. If screenshots were not taken then you made need to watch your demo to get them. Without screenshots, regardless of the match outcome, the match may be canceled.

    -Example of Command usage for Console:
    /screenshotjpeg

    -Reporting the Match Results:
    At the end of the match, the winning teams needs to post the final score in Match Comms. This establishes and records the Match End Time. From this point, the Team Captain(s) of the losing team have two options when reporting the match results.

    1. Report Match Results

    2. Dispute Match
    Team Captains of the losing team must report the match results or dispute the match no later than (1) hour after the match's completion. This can be done from the Admin panel for the Call of Duty Ladder. Failure to do so will result in the following consequence. There will be No Exceptions to this rule. Just because the Winning team has posted the match score in comms does NOT exclude the losing team from reporting the final match score.
    • 1st Offense - Team dropped 10% of the total rungs on the Ladder.
    • 2nd Offense - Team dropped to the bottom of the Ladder.
    • 3rd Offense - Team will be removed from the Ladder.
    Although there is no exception please refer to the below subcategory labeled "-Disputes for Cheating Format." It has been recognized and is understood that (1) hour is not enough time to collect all of the evidence needed to submit your case. If you are submitting a Cheating Dispute you MUST report the match as a dispute within the (1) hour time limit. Simply provide a brief summary of why you feel the other team has cheated and state in your dispute that you will have the rest of the information needed as shown below in the example sent to codacteam@teamwarfare.com within 24hrs. of your initial dispute claim. Failure to do this will result in the dispute being rejected and the above consequence will be applied as a penalty. For all other disputes, see "Filing a Dispute".

    Match Start

    -Definition of "Match Time":
    The Call Of Duty 4 Administration defines "Match Time" as the time when a player enters the server to play a sanctioned match, until they leave. Therefore, any rules/obligations that are defined as being valid during "match time" or "in match", are understood to be valid during the actual match play time, any warmup (pre-match) time, Half-Time, Server Switching, or any other variation thereof. If your team is on a server, expecting that a match is to take place, then you are considered in "match time".

    -Match Start Time:
    All players should join the server on time. All members of each team need to be in the server and ready to play no later than 15 minutes after the time the match is supposed to start. The offending team will forfeit.

    Please be considerate to your opponents and refrain from team killing. If team killing before the match becomes an isssue then please come to the IRC and get an Admin.

    -Ping Discrepancy:
    The ping difference is determined by average ping of both teams and not the individual players. While pressing tab and viewing the scoreboard you will notice at the top of each team there is an overall ping average for each team. Both teams must have their players take their sides for the match and only those who are playing in the match should be on the server. In the event of a major ping discrepancy, (+/- 50ms Average difference between teams a neutral server must be used unless both Teams agree that the match should proceed.

    -Server Stability:
    Servers must comply with the -Qualified Servers section attached to each set of Ladder Specific Rules. A server may be deemed unstable if multiple members from both teams are experiencing issues with the server.

    -Authorized Communication:
    Two captains from each team will be designated to communicate prior to the match starting and between rounds. No other "global" communication is permitted, however, Good Game or Good Luck prior to and after matches is acceptable. Team Captains ARE responsible for the actions of their team members during matches.

    -Player Conduct:
    The following guidelines are to be adherred to by all players in any given match:

    • Outside of friendly comments ("good game", "good half", "well played", etc.), only 2 Captains per team should engage in global text communication, and only to discuss match stipulations. See -Authorized Communication section above.
    • At no time should any player use global voice chat (this includes "vsay" and VOIP).
    • At no time should any player use profanity or any type. This includes racial, gender, and/or religious slurs; bashing players of the opposing team; bashing TWL as a whole, or any staff members.
    Any player/team in violation of the above guidelines, will be punished based on the severity of the offense. Punishment can range from loss of round, suspension of player(s), suspension of captain(s), forfeit of match, or loss of ladder rung. Unsportsmanlike Conduct disputes will be evaluated by Admin(s) on a case by case basis.

    -Demo Requirement:
    To level the playing field, every player is now required to demo every match for the entire duration of the match. These demos are to be handed over to a Teamwarfare Admin upon request, where they will be subject to review by the Teamwarfare Administration Staff. Demos are to be held no less than 2 weeks after match date. There are consequences for not producing demos when asked.
    • 1st Offense - 30-day suspension for any player(s) involved.

    • 2nd Offense - Six Month suspension for any player(s) involved.

    • 3rd Offense - Two Year suspension for any player(s) involved.

    • AFTER YOUR SUSPENSION You will be required to submit your demo after your next match.


    -"Ready Up" / Match Start:
    The Pre-match "Ready Up" time should be used to verify all match settings prior to match start. There are certain settings that need to be verified prior to "Ready Up" and these include: Opposing Team Roster, GUID Verifications, Server Setup, Perk/Weapon Availability, and Server Latency (ping). Once you "Ready Up", and the match begins, there can be no dispute based on any of these settings. The same concept is applied to halftime and/or in between maps.

    If a team has a problem or concern before or during a match,then a Captain of the team needs to come to the IRC and get an Admin before starting the match, or during halftime. Under no circumstances should any team ever leave during a half or round while the match is "Live." A team to do this will subject themselves to forfeiting the match.

    -Immunity:
    The winning team is given 1 hour of immunity after the match has been reported so that they may challenge up the Ladder without worrying about being challenged by a team with less rank.

    The team that did not win the match cannot challenge up the Ladder for 24hrs. The team has no immunity and can be challenged during the 24hr wait period. Lastly the team cannot challenge the same team they just played no less than 7 days from the time of the match.

    Filing a Dispute

    -Admin Requests for Disputes:
    -Just a reminder that failure to turn any requested material within the given timelimit may result in penalties.

    -Disputes for Cheating Format:
    You may not submit a cheating dispute if your team cannot provide demos of each player who played in the match on your team. You may submit a complaint to the TWL CoD AC Team in order to continue Anti-Cheat efforts however as far as the match goes it must be reported. If your team can provide all demos and you feel your opponent was cheating during your match, you must do the following to file a valid cheating dispute.

    1. If you feel that the opposing team cheated in any way, you MUST file a cheating dispute within 1 hour of match completion. If a dispute is not filed within 1 hour, then the other team has the option of filing a dispute for not reporting match result.
    2. Once a dispute has been filed, the disputing team has 24 hours to provide evidence of their accusation. Teams should use this time to talk to teammates, review their own demos, and cool off from the match.
    3. Evidence must be provided based on the template given below.
    4. If you have filed a dispute and, after reviewing your demos, you want to retract your dispute, then you MUST post in match comms AND send an email to Reaper AT teamwarfare DOT com, stating that you are withdrawing your dispute.
    5. Any team who does not provide evidence of a cheating accusation without formally withdrawing their dispute will be penalized for filing a Frivilous Dispute.You need to have reasonable evidence to file charges. A text file with information regarding times and players involved it a vital piece of information for use in your dispute.
    6. If you feel you have reasonable grounds, initiate a dispute. List your concerns over specific instances during your match and include these in your dispute.
      Example: At x:xx minutes in the X round, player XXXXX did this. At x:xx in the X round, same player XXXXX did this. etc etc.
    7. While you are filing your cheat dispute, get your own team demos uploaded so an Admin can get them instantly.
    8. Notify your opponent in Match Comms as soon as you dispute so they can get their demos ready for review. Keep in mind that a disputed team becomes defensive. If your team has a dispute filed against you, cooperation is your best ally in a dispute. DO NOT use the Match Comms to flame the other team for disputing against you. Unsportsmanlike Conduct in the Match Comms will results in penalties.
    9. Counter-Disputes - Please do not submit a counter-dispute against a team that has disputed against you. TeamWarfare's investigation of a dispute includes hearing BOTH sides. You will have your chance to supply the Admin handling the dispute with any information you have.
    -Examples of Cheating Dispute Format:
    • At approx 7:35 in the first half, |Team|Player3 was able to kill 5 of my team members in a single clip without reloading once in less then 20sec after we all spawned. We suspect symptoms of an Aimbot.

    • {Clan}Player5 was able to come around corners prefiring the weapon on several occasions as if we could be seen through the walls. This happened during the first half at 10:20, 6:50, and 3:23. Then it happened again during the second half at 18:43, 12:08, 10:22, and 5:16.

    • During the first half at approx 5:15 left on the clock, a member of the other team was on top of the roof where there is no textures under the feet. We don't know the name of the player, but the location was on the south west corner of the map. We know there is no textures because our team reenacted the spot after the match.

    • At approx 2:05 left in the second half a member of the other team had destroyed our radio through a texture. We were not able to identify the player's name. The score was almost tied when this happened and we believe this had impact on the outcome of the match.

    • At approx 5:15 left in the second half -Clan-Player6 team killed -Clan-Player1 in order to gain health back by respawning at the end of the 45sec respawn timer.

    • At approx 14:10 during the first half we believe two members of the other team had intentionally team-killed themselves to respawn near their base where the flag was about to be taken.

    • With 11:34 left in the second half, the other team parked a tank on the flag. Members of my team were repeatedly killed while attempting to remove the tank over the flag.

    • The score was tied at 10-10 and during the sudden death round =|Team|= Member4 was using repeated voice taunts as we only had one player alive and could not hear the enemy coming around the corner.

    • At approx 1:01 in the fourth round during the first half, -=Clan=-Member1 was laying prone on the stairs and killing while his gun appeared straight up in the air. His position was not logical and we believe -=Clan=-Member1 was glitching and could not be damaged. I know it was -=Clan=-Member1 because his name was viewed in the obituaries in the bottom left-hand corner as he killed my team mate. You can view this through my team-mate Player4's demo.

       

    -General Procedures:
    All disputes will be handled by the league/ladder admin(s). Each and every dispute inevitably involves different aspects and will be dealt with individually. The intent of dispute must be reported to the league/ladder admin(s) within 1 hour of match end. This is done by clicking on "Dispute Match Results", found in your team admin panel. Disputes must be for a valid and specific reason. Teams must provide 'when and where' the violation occurred within 24 hours or risk rejection of the dispute.

    -Report to Match Comms:
    In the event of a dispute, teams should check their match comms and team emails often as the admin may request additional information. Once requested, teams have 24 hours to produce the materials (demos, server logs, etc) that the admins ask for. The league admin will have the final say in judging the disputes. This game is meant to be fun, let’s keep it clean and avoid any unwanted hassles. It is recommended that teams send their demos to a team captain for safekeeping incase a dispute is filed. Players inactivity on the team is NOT a valid excuse.

    -TWL Demo Uploads
    Teamwarfare provides a FTP facility for the public to upload demos and screenshots.

    To use this facility, goto Ftp://67.18.253.53 and enter the Login and Password.

    Public Access:

    User: twl
    Password: demos

    Note: Just copy and paste the files to the FTP window if using IE/Windows Explorer.

    When uploading, please zip your files up and rename them as follows: tag_playername_date.zip

    (Please note that you are ONLY allowed to upload .zip files). At present there is a filesize limit of 64MB. Please split up your uploads if your .zip is exceeding this size.

    Using this FTP service for anything other than match demos, screenshots, or other files requested by an Admin will result in heavy penalties.

    -Making a Habit of Disputing / Frivilous Disputes:
    Our concern is to have a fun and clean place to play. Although the dispute process is necessary in helping keep a clean match, teams who make it a habit to dispute often with frivilous reasons will subject themselves to possible suspension and league points deducted.

    The definition of a Frivolous Cheating/Bug Exploit dispute is: "When requested, a team does not provide any specific information that is required of a valid cheating/bug exploit dispute, therefore retracting thier dispute." Teamwarfare has zero tolerance for cheating and cheating accusations without an effort to submit any evidence. Teams who are found to file Frivilous Disputes, will face the following penalty:
    • 1st Offense - Team Founder and Captain alerted of the dispute, and given the team's first and only warning.

    • 2nd Offense - Team dropped 25% of ladder rungs, Captain suspended for a period of 2 weeks.

    • 3rd Offense - Team dropped to bottom of ladder. Captain suspended for 30 days.

    • 4th Offense - Team removed from ladder. Captain suspended for 60 days
    As stated above, Teams are required to file a dispute within the first hour after a match ends. After that, an admin will request backing evidence for the dispute accusation. Teams have 24 hours to review their demos and provide this information. If you feel that, after reviewing your demo, that the team was not cheating, then you MUST post in comms AND send an email to Reaper AT teamwarfare DOT com, as well as the admin handling the dispute (if applicable), stating that you want to withdraw your dispute. Any team who fails to provide sufficient evidence of a cheating accusation or does not formally withdraw a dispute, will see their dispute marked as Frivilous, and penalties will be given as stated.

    Exploits

    -General Info:
    Exploiting the game is illegal and will be considered cheating if used in a match. Do not assume that use of a bug or game engine flaw is legal, contact an Admin if you are unsure.

    Glitching and Exploiting are very vague terms. All teams reserve the right to make their case against any questionable position that is used in a match. DO NOT STOP THE MATCH. Consult an Admin if you feel there was an occurrence. Our Anti-Cheat team has created a very useful list of definitions. Protect your team from punishment by following these guidelines.

    -Bind/Scripts Rule:
    As of now, any wheel-bind (to attack) or script, even if just bound in match, will get you suspended and match forfeited.

    -Also be aware that the bind rule refers to all binds not just simply the mousewheel bind.

    -Founders & Team Captains please make your players aware of this.

    -If you come across this issue, please submit a dispute for rules violation.

    -To check for any illegal binds/scripts, you will need to check the pb log from the match which would be located in the pb folder.

    -ANY binds found in the pb log that seems out of the ordinary will be turned into the AC Team and they will determine if its legal or not.

    -Be aware that the only way we can enforce or accept any claims of illegal binds/scripts is by having the AC Team check the untampered logs from PBBANS hence why its extremely important to have your server streaming.

    Punishment for Illegal Binds:

    • 1st Offense - 15-day suspension and match forfeited
    • 2nd Offense - 30-day suspension, match forfeited, team dropped 25% ladder rungs
    • 3rd Offense - 90-day suspension, match forfeited, team dropped to bottom of ladder
    • 4th Offense - player banned from TeamWarfare, match forfeited


    -Suicides and Intentional Team Kills:
    Any form of intentionally killing yourself or a teammate (via /kill, cratering, grenades, or team killing, etc) in an attempt to exploit spawns has been deemed a game exploit. Using this method to your teams advantage may be subject to forfeiture of the match and other penalties directly related to exploiting the gametype. Admins have the final say in the penalty, and it will be determined by the severity of the infraction.

    -Destroying/Capturing or Planting/Defusing Through Textures:
    Some radios/bomb sites in certain maps have the ability to be captured/destroyed or planted/defused through a wall or other texture. Capturing/destroying or planting/defusing using this method is considered a map exploit and will result in the team in violation to forfeit the match or an overturn of points. This will ultimately be at the admin's discretion dependent upon the severity of the infraction. Each issue will be reviewd on a case by case basis.

    -Devmap Abuse:
    Using /devmap instead of /map to load the map for the match is strictly prohibited. TeamWarfare WILL NOT make any distinction between the use of this command in TeamWarfare sanctioned matches or public matches and scrims. The command is to be used ONLY in locked private servers. We understand the benefits this command offers in creating strategies and such, just do not use it in matches or in public. Violators will be banned from TeamWarfare.

    -Going 'Under' or 'Outside' the map:
    Going 'under' the map is a map exploit. Using these areas in any strategic way (killing enemies, recon, etc) will result in a forfeited match and a 30 day suspension of the offending player.

    -Explosion Jumping:
    Using explosives (grenades, rockets, satchels, etc) to get an elevation boost during jumping to reach areas not attainable from normal jumping has been deemed an engine exploit. Using this method will result in a forfeited match and a 30 day suspension to the offending player.

    -Unauthorized DVAR changes:
    Changing ANY DVAR from the official TWL Config to create an advantage for your team will result in a forfeited match. Other penalties may be handed out for more severe cases.

    -Limited Weapons:
    When there is a weapon labeled as 'limited' in a specific ladder or league config, at no time may there be more of any limited weapon used by the same team at ANY point in the match. If it was found to be intentional, the round(s) that this acquired weapon was used will be overturned. Using more than the limited number of any given weapon is an unfair advantage over the other team.

    Xray Client Anti-Cheat Program

    Due to Xray still fixing their issues, the TeamWarfare COD Series Staff has decided that the use of XRAY & the mandatory requirement of the XAC ID being in the players profile will no longer be mandatory at this time for competition.

    Rung Ladder General Rules

    Ladder Movement

    You can challenge anyone above you 10 slots or 50% of the remaining ladder from your current rank - whichever is higher. (Ex: Rung 100 can challenge rung 50. Rung 48 can challenge to rung 24. Rung 15 can challenge to rung 5).

    On some of the smaller ladders, the challenge slots is 5 slots or 50% of the remaining ladder. Check the ladder's specific rules to be sure.

    Ladder Concept

    The Ladder is based on a best 2 out of 3 maps scenario. Map selection is random for the first and second maps. The "Defending" team selects the tiebreaker map. The "Defending" team chooses map sides and order. The "Attacking" team picks the tiebreaker map sides.

    * THIS IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE IN THE ABOVE RULES SPECIFIC TO THIS LADDER

    Team Roster Management

    Ladder members join teams per ladder and may only be a member of one team per ladder. Roster changes may be made on any day. In order for a player to be considered 'eligible' for a match, he must be on his team's roster before the Defender accepts the challenge and remain on the team until the match is completed. In the case of games with in game identifiers (PunkBuster), this GUID must be entered into the players profile before the defender accepts the challenge for the player to be considered 'eligible'. If a player drops from a team after a challenge is accepted and rejoins he will only be allowed to legally play if the other team agrees to it in match comms. Leniency is given for people that sign up on the same day match is accepted.

    Once a team joins a ladder, that team has 2 weeks to bring their roster to the minimum roster requirement for that ladder. Failure to do so will result in immediate removal from that particular ladder.

    Team Management

    Teams have one (1) Owner and any number of Captains. Captains are assigned at a ladder level. Owners are captains on all ladders. The team Owner should determine who should be in charge of issuing challenges per ladder and maintaining the team information. Multiple team captains can be assigned to perform such duties.

    *There are only to be a maximum of 2 captains assigned to any ladder match.

    You can only issue a challenge by making it in your Team's Admin Console on your ladder control panel on any day of the week. Access to the Team Admin Console is available to all Captains………… NOTE - You must login to the ladder in order to administer your team.

    Challenge and Match Date Acceptance

    All ladders have a time limitation for match responses. This includes Acceptance of a Challenge and/or Date Acceptance. The Present time frame is 48 hours. At that time a "Flag" is created for the Ladder Admins to address the next time they login to their Admin Console. If the problem is resolved by that team prior to the Admin logging in then the match continues as before. If the Admin logs in first the appropriate action will be taken. In this case forfeits will be granted and rungs dropped.

    It is the each team's responsibility before the match starts to see that all players are legally registered on each teams roster. After match start or completion, roster disputes are not valid justification for forfeiture or admin intervention. Substitute players, brought in during match, that are not eligible players by the above criteria, will force an immediate forfeiture on the part of the team they were playing for.


    Match Results Reporting and Disputes

    Once a match has started, it is understood that both teams agree to the terms of the match (number of players, time limit, rosters, etc). If there is a disagreement of match terms AFTER match completion, the disagreement will be thrown out.

    Match results are to be reported as a loss in your team admin panel or if you are disputing the loss you must login to your team admin panel and select the "Dispute Match Results" link within 1 hour of match end. If disputed it will send an automatic email to your ladder admin. If a team fails to report or dispute the team needs to notify the ladder admin immediately. Failure to do either within 1 hour of match end will result in :

       1. First Offense : Dropped a percentage of total rungs on ladder.
       2. Second Offense : Removed from ladder.

    By reporting the results, teams waive their rights to protest (ultimately decided by TeamWarfare Staff). It is also to be known that once a match has been played / reported neither team can attack each other for 7 days.

    If match results are being protested, a ladder admin and the opposing team captains must be made aware of the protest within one hour from the completion of the match via the "Dispute Results" link in your admin panel AS WELL AS through match comms. Failure to do BOTH may result in an admin reporting the match.

    After a protest has been initiated, both teams have 24 hours to gather evidence. In this time the team being protested against may issue a counter-protest.

    ALL match issues should be resolved within 48 hours from match completion.

    Failure to Appear

    For each ladder there is a minimum number of players needed to proceed with a match. Teams should have the minimum number of players on the appropriate server no later than 15 minutes after the scheduled match time. Failure to meet this requirement will result in an immediate forfeit against the non-compliant party. Both teams should be ready to play no later than 30 minutes from the scheduled match time (Unless agreed upon by both parties). Failure to agree to start the match at this time will result in forfeiture by the non-compliant party. A TWL admin should be contacted immediately (mIRC - #teamwarfare) for a ruling to be made. If an admin isn't available then the match should be postponed, and a dispute must be filed.

    Server Selection

    Server preference and choices are communicated through the "Match Communication" Portion of your Team Admin Console. All matches must be played on a server that has the ability to be password protected. If a neutral server cannot be agreed upon then the 1st and 3rd maps will be played on the Defender's Choice and the 2nd will be played on the Attacker's choice. All members should be able to connect to the server. Server disputes must be handled before match completion. Disputing a server after a match has been played will result in the dispute being thrown out.

    Server selections are bound by a "reasonable difference" in ping. If the average ping differential is substantial, the opposing team has the right to refuse a server, provided there is a viable alternative server open for match use.

    Inactivity

    Teams of the TWL are expected to remain active while on the ladder. Any team showing inactivity for a period of three weeks will be deleted from the appropriate ladder. This time frame of course does not include "Rest" time taken.

    Challenge Cancelation

    On the TWL there is no availability for the team Captains or Founders to cancel a challenge. All Cancellations must be coordinated through a Ladder Admin. Cancellations are not always guaranteed.

    Sportsmanship and Cheating

    Un-sportsmanlike conduct during matches will not be tolerated by the TWL. If an admin is called in to resolve an issue regarding un-sportsmanlike conduct the judgment/punishment will be swift, efficient and final. We here at the TWL suggest you conduct yourselves accordingly. See the specific ladder areas by this name for the specifics for that ladder and game.

    Racist or sexist remarks will not be tolerated.

    Simple, straight forward... Play nice.

    Server Selection Time

    All servers must be posted in the online match communications 48 hours prior to the match time. If no attempt is made to offer a server for your team, and the opposing team has offered a server, all 3 matches may be played on the opposing team's server per their request.

    Server Crashes

    In the event of a server crash, if both teams can agree upon the remaining time and score, the map will be restarted with the remaining time and score intact. If there is a dispute the entire map will be restarted. In the event that a team loses a player due to connectivity issues, (or his Mom/Dad tells him to get the hell off the PC...LOL) the team may substitute the player immediately with someone from their roster. Substitute players, brought in during match, that are not eligible players, will force an immediate forfeiture on the part of the team they were playing for.

    Punctuality

    Map side choices and order must be relayed to the attacking team no more than 24 hours after the attacker schedules the match. The attacking team also must relay side choice for the Tiebreaker map no later than 24 hours after scheduling the match. Server choice must be communicated in the "Match Communication" section in your team's ladder control panel 48 hours prior to match time. Failure to keep these deadlines may result in your forfeit of these options at the opposing team's (and admin's) discretion.

    In between maps, a maximum preparation time of 10 minutes (15 minutes if you're switching servers) is allowed before starting the next map. Your opponents may start the map if you exceed these time limits.

    Rescheduling

    Should a match require rescheduling, the new match time should be within 3 days of the original match time. Matches can only be rescheduled once. Mutual consent via match comms between opponents is required.

    Resting

    Teams in the "Top 20" are not eligible for Rest. Teams may rest for a total of 7 days per 3-month period (13 weeks). Teams may start and stop rest by their own doing so in their Team Admin Console. Rest is counted in whole day amounts. Understand that if a team places themselves on rest to cover time waiting to challenge a soon to be free team they will be "Docked" a complete day for any partial time. (1 hour = 1 day; 4 hours = 1 day; 36 hrs = 2 days)

    Smurf Policy

    Smurfing is signing up for more than one team (or the same team) on the same ladder, either under the same name, or a different name. It is also the act of playing for a team you are not registered to play for, under a false identity.

    Playing for a team you are not registered to play for is prohibited. Playing on more than one team per ladder is also prohibited, as is registering multiple accounts for use on the same team or ladder.

    Minimum punishment for the violation of this paragraph is as follows but not limited to : (It will ultimately remain sole discretion of Teamwarfare Staff)


    • The team that the smurf joined or played for most recently will be deleted.

    • The smurf's original team will be dropped 33% of the ladder.

    • The smurf's account(s) on, and possibly access rights to, TWL will be revoked.

    Additionally, team captains and founders can contact your games coordinator (SysAdmin). The list is located here. In each games staff list, at the top, is the SysAdmin for that game. The admins will cooperate fully with team captains and founders in order to combat and prevent smurfing. We will NOT hand out IP's so don't ask but we will be more than happy to check a certain player on your team.
