HALO 3 FFA RULES:

All subsequent rounds will be played weekly thereafter.
All players must be registered on this site and be resident in the UK or Europe to enter.
The tournament will follow a single elimination knockout format.
Groups of 8 players will be drawn at random by MatchBox360 admin.
The top 4 players from each group will progress to the next round. All players placing below 4th will be eliminated from the tournament.
All fixtures will be played using the following settings:
Game Setup:
Party: Closed
Map: The Pit - XL4 FFA (http://www.bungie.net/stats/Halo3/FileShare.aspx?gamertag=K0NSPIRACY)(Slot 1)
Game Type: XL4 FFA (http://www.bungie.net/stats/Halo3/FileShare.aspx?gamertag=K0NSPIRACY) (Slot 6)
Please note: It is the responsibility of all players to ensure the game settings are correct, and by playing in and completing the game you accept the game settings set by the host player.
Hosting and Lag tests:
- In the first rounds, each group will have a player designated at random to host the game (a default host).
- A 3 minute lag test should be completed prior to the start of the game. If any player falls below 2 bars (ie red) and or more than 2 players keep dropping into 2 bars (ie Yellow) then an alternative host should be found.
- If no alternative host is found from a player within the group, then the player who was set as the default host for the game must then host.
- If a player leaves or is disconnected from a game within the first minute of gameplay or prior to any kills then the game is void and must be restarted.
- If a player leaves or is disconnected from a game after the first minute of gameplay, then the game must be completed. The disconnected player will be eliminated accordingly.
- Please ensure there is no other Internet equipment active in your household and there is no one downloading using the same connection whilst you are playing.
The player drawn as host must set up the game using the settings above, then invite the other group players to join. Please ensure you have sufficient room on your friends list to add / receive friend requests from your group opponents.
If as the host, there is no response from any of your group players for up to 15 minutes after the scheduled start time then those players will be declared as "no show", and the game is to proceed without them. Any player declared as a "no show " will be removed from the tournament accordingly.
It is down to every player in each group to add at least 4 players in your group, if the host play never shows up the remaining players must set up a lobby and play the fixture. Please make sure before playing the fixture that all the players in the group have had an invite to the game. The default host in this situation will be the person second down on the group lost from the fixtures.
The designated host must report the result in the appropriate results thread in the Halo 3: FFA Events Section (http://community.matchbox360.co.uk/vb/forumdisplay.php?f=116)
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 a Bungie stats link as evidence in case the result are questioned.
If you suspect a player of cheating or abusive behaviour, you must provide sufficient evidence of reasonable quality and the appropriate action will be taken.
Full fixture details & results will be made available online as soon as the results are posted in the forums.
Prize: The winner will receive 1 x Halo3 Legendary Limited Edition (http://community.matchbox360.co.uk/vb/attachment.php?attachmentid=172&d=1206979554).
