Please read and understand both the CALL OF DUTY 4 5v5 and the MatchBox360 General Rules listed below:
CALL OF DUTY 4 5v5 RULES:
All players must be registered on this site and be resident in the UK or Europe to enter.
Any team found fielding non-registered players is in breach of the MatchBox360 rules and will subsequently be disqualified. It is the responsibility of each team to ensure opponents only play with fully registered team mates. As such, please supply evidence (screen shot or game links) to prove any use of illegal players.
Each team must nominate one player to be team captain. It is the responsibility of the team captain to communicate with other teams and event staff, arrange the teams fixtures within the timescales provided and report results accordingly. Failure to arrange a match within the given timescale will result in removal from the competition.
The tournament will follow a double elimination knockout format, whereby a loss will demote your team to the losers bracket. A further loss in the losers bracket will result in your teams elimination from the tournament.
First round fixtures will be drawn at random by MatchBox360 admin accordingly. The remainder of the tournament will follow a standard double elimination bracket.
Substitutes:
- Each team may nominate upto 4 substitute players.
- Substitutes may only be registered to one team taking part in this event.
- Substitutions can only be made in the pre-game lobby and not whilst a game is in progress.
The tournament schedule is as follows:
ROUND 1: 12th January - 20th January
Subsequent rounds and losers bracket will be played weekly thereafter.
Please note: if teams are unable to agree a mutually convenient time for their fixture then the default time for each fixture will be Sunday at 8:00pm. Any team who do not show at this time (as per no show rules stated below) will be deemed to have forfeited the fixture.
All fixtures will be played using the following format:
- Maps and gametypes will be set for each round by MatchBox360 admin.
- Fixtures will consist of a best of 3 gametype series (* increasing to 5 game series in the semi finals):

- Each gametype and map is to be played twice on a home and away basis (total 6 games * or 10 games).
- The home team will host the first 3 games.
- The away team will have choice of spawn.
- Once the first 3 games have been played, the away team will host the same 3 gametypes and maps with the home team having choice of spawn.
- The total aggregate score per gametype will determine the result for each gametype.
- If the total aggregate score for any gametype results in a draw, then that gametype must be replayed if teams are tied after the 3 gametypes have been played.

The team drawn as the home team must set up a lobby using the above settings and maps selected by MatchBox360 admin, then invite the other team captain to join (please ensure you have sufficient room on your friends list to add / receive friend requests from your opponent).
After the maps hosted by the home team have been played, the away team must set up a lobby using the above settings and maps selected by MatchBox360 admin, then invite the other team captain to join.
If as the home team, there is no response from your opponent for upto 15 minutes after the agreed scheduled start time then the game will be declared a "no show", and the home team will receive a default win and progress to the next round.
If as the away team, you do not receive a friend request or game invite by the scheduled start time then you must firstly add your opponent to your friends list, and if after 15 minutes there has been no response then the game will declared a "no show". The away team will receive a default win and progress to the next round.
The losing team must report the result in the appropriate results thread in the Call of Duty 4 5v5 forum. Obviously, if there was a "no show" then the winner by default must report the game details in the forum asap.
Please be aware that it is every players responsibility to ensure the result is reported correctly. If you have any issues with the reported result you must contact an MatchBox360 representative immediately. We advise that you are able to provide clear photographic evidence in case the result is questioned.
Any performance of known glitches in the game will be classed as cheating. If you suspect a team to have used glitches, cheats or abusive behaviour, you must provide sufficient evidence of reasonable quality and the appropriate action will be taken. Gaining access to areas by jumping will not be classed as a glitch.
