TWL Rules wrote:Captain's Responsibility
-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 more than 2 llama's in a row for inactivity will be removed from the Ladder.
-Eligibility for Match:
All Players must be registered on their team's roster with their correct (game specific) GUID listed in their profile prior to the Challenged Date of the match to be able to play. Exceptions may be agreed upon in Match Comms by the opposing team prior to match start.
-Roster PBGUID checks:
It is the Captain's responsibility to check their opponents roster and verify PBGUID's before the match begins. Should the Captain ignore this and play the match then you are authorizing the player to play in the match.
-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. Without screenshots, regardless of the match outcome, the match may be canceled.
-Reporting Match Results:
It is the Team Captain's responsibility of the losing team to accurately report the match results in a timely manner. The Team Captain of the losing team MUST report the match results NO LATER THAN 1 HOUR after completion of the match. Teams who fail to report match results accurately and in a timely manner will be punished in the following manner:
1st Offense: Loss of 10 rungs and a TWL issued warning.
2nd Offense: Loss of 25 rungs and a TWL issued warning.
3rd Offense: Team is removed from the ladder and a TWL issued response.
NOTE: It is the winning team's responsibility to ensure that the match score is accurately reported and submitted in a timely manner. If the opposing team fails to report the match score, it is then the winning Team's responsibility to file a dispute indicating the losing team failed to report a loss.
Under No other heading is eligibility covered. These are Main headings:
Supported GameTypes
Game Modifications
Contacting an Admin
PunkBuster & PBGUID's
Demo Recording
Team Rosters
Match Communications
Captain's Responsibility
Match Start
Filing a Dispute
Exploits
Cheating/Hacking
Change Log
Now I interpret "Challenged Date of the Match" as the date the two teams will fight/play one another. Therefore they must be registered the day prior. If it had said "Challenge Date" then I would interpret that as the date the Challenge was set out by the attacking player.
