CALL OF DUTY 4v4

Please note: Prize fund and allocations quoted are based on the 32 Teams competing.

Prize fund may vary dependent on number of players competing.

TOURNAMENT RULES:

• The XL Call of Duty 4 4v4 tournament will use Search and Destroy, Domination and Sabotage gametypes.
• The tournament will follow a double elimination 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.
• Fixtures will consist of a best of 3 map gametype series until the Winners Bracket Final, whereby they become a best out of 5 gametype series.
• Teams will be seeded based on performance at the previous MatchBox360 XL event. Any players who didn’t attend will be seeded on performance in the Call of Duty 4 2v2.
• Map selection will be set by MatchBox360 and all maps are to be played in the designated order.
• In a best of 3 map series, the lower seeded team will choose 1 map to host, and the higher seeded team will host the other 2 maps.
• In a best of 5 map series, the higher seeded team will choose 1 map to host and the lower seeded team will choose 2 maps to host. The higher seeded team will host the 2 remaining maps.
• The non-host team will have choice of spawn location.
• In the event of teams having previously met in the competition the matches will expand to a best of 7, with the team who won going into the series retaining their previous wins (e.g. a team beat another by 2-0 they will take a 2-0 lead the second time they meet). If teams previously met in a 5 game series then the matches will expand to a best of 11.
• If the teams meeting in the final have not yet played each other and the team coming from the losers bracket wins the game, then the Winners Bracket Final maps will be played to determine the result of the game since both teams would have only lost once. The team without a loss will choose to have higher seed host privileges for the Finals or Winners Bracket Finals set of maps prior to the start of the game.
• It is the responsibility of both team captains to ensure the result is reported correctly to the MatchBox360 XL Call of Duty 4 admin.
• You may register 1 x Coach for your team prior to the start of the tournament.
• For Search and Destroy only:
  • Void Round 1: the first round of each map on S&D will be discounted, and scoring will commence from round 2.
  • Once killed, each player must switch to FPS mode (press "Y") and place the controller on the table for the remainder of the round.
  • In the event of teams being tied during S&D in rounds at 4-4, the game will continue until one team wins by a 2 round margin (ie 6-4 or 7-5).
• For Domination Only:
  • All Domination games will be played twice with teams alternating spawn location. The scores from each round will be added to determine the winner of the game.
