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.

Failure to arrange a match within the given timescale will result in removal from the competition.

First round fixtures will be drawn by seed, unseeded teams will be drawn randomly by MatchBox360 admin accordingly. The remainder of the tournament will follow a standard double elimination bracket
Seeds will be determined from team placements at XL3 & XL4 (Top 16 only). Teams who competed in the last online 4v4 but haven't got XL seed points will be seeded via their Matchbox online placement (Top 8 only), however they cannot outseed an XL seeded team. Any other teams will be drawn at random.
Substitutes:
- Each team may nominate up to 5 substitute players per match.
- Substitutes may only be registered to one team taking part in this event.

- If a player lags out or disconnects during the game within the first minute of the game or before 3 kills have been made by a team then the party leader must end the game and give the discounted player a further 2 minutes to get back into lobby for the game to be restarted. After that minute or more than 3 kills have been made it is to carry on and the result will stand. The player who disconnected may rejoin through invites from his team.
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).
If as the home team, there is no response from your opponent for up to 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 wining team must report the result in the appropriate results thread in the Halo 3 4v4 Event forum. If there was a "no show" then the winner by default must report the game details in the forum asap.
Please supply supporting evidence if your opponents were not online at the agreed time.
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.
