The rules have been delayed because we are waiting on MLG to release their Halo Reach rules which were supposed to be up before Friday Sept 24, 2010.

Equipment

*Update: FFC will provide Desktops, mice and keyboards for our competitors, but not headphones, please bring your own headphones!

Score ties will be broken using the following criteria in this order: Kills, Deaths, Assists, Headshots, Coin Toss.  If Kills, Assists, or Headshots are used to break a tie, the highest number will win the tiebreaker.  If Deaths is used to break a tie, the lowest number will win the tiebreaker.  If a Coin Toss is used to break a tie, the lower seeded Player must call “heads” or “tails” and then the Game’s Referee will flip a coin and allow it to fall to the ground, where the side facing up will determine the winner of the tiebreaker.

Play Instructions for First Combine Competition

General Rules

  1. Players may not use a controller with Turbo capabilities, Wireless capabilities, or a Play and Charge Kit.  Controllers with Turbo capabilities allow Players to map a button sequence to the Turbo button.  Pressing that button then results in their Character performing a set of actions that would normally require the Player to press multiple buttons.
  2. Players may not use a controller that has been modified in such a way that it alters their Character’s abilities and/or in-game mechanics.  Players may not use a controller that has been modified to include a Turbo button.  Players are allowed to make cosmetic changes to their controller, however, Major League Gaming reserves the right to deny the use of any controller suspected of providing an unfair competitive advantage.
  3. Players and Coaches may not use a Wireless headset or a headset that requires an outlet for power.
  4. Players/Teams who break General Rules #1-5 will be given a Warning.  Each subsequent Warning that a Player/Team receives will result in a Forfeit of the Game.  Players who receive two Warnings for breaking General Rules #1-3 will be disqualified from the FFA and 4v4 Events.
  5. Players and Coaches may not intentionally manipulate a button, trigger, bumper, D-Pad, and/or joystick on a teammate’s controller while a Game is in progress.  Breaking this rule will result in a Forfeit of the Game.
  6. Players may use any unoccupied USB ports on their Xbox 360 as well as any unoccupied plug-ins on their Astro Rack and TV.
  7. In the case of an Xbox 360/TV malfunction, the Game will be restarted from the beginning.
  8. If a Team fails to report to their Station within 5 minutes of their Match’s announcement, they will Forfeit the 1st Game.  10 minutes after the announcement, a Team will Forfeit their Best of 3 Game Match or the 2nd Game of their Best of 5 Game Match.  15 minutes after the announcement, a Team will Forfeit their Best of 5 or Best of 7 Game Match.  If both Teams Forfeit their Match, the higher seeded Team will win the Match.
  9. Players/Teams may be disqualified and Teams may be forced to play a Game(s) shorthanded if a Player leaves their Station without their Referee’s permission, or is otherwise unable to play.  Referees may set a time limit for a Player who has requested that they be allowed to leave their Station, however, Referees may also deny a Player’s request to leave their Station.  Players/Teams may be disqualified, or forced to play a Game(s) shorthanded, if a Player hasn’t returned by the end of their Referee’s set time limit.

10.  Players/Teams are permitted to request a review of the Game film, once during a Match, if they believe that their Referee made an incorrect call related to Gameplay Rules or a Multi Flag Game’s initial time limit.  Review requests related to Gameplay Rules must be made during the Game in question, they must be specific to a Player, and they must be limited to a one minute window of the Game’s Film.  Review requests related to a Multi Flag Game’s initial time limit must be made before the start of a new Game or, if the Match has ended, before the Match results have been submitted.

10.  If the initial time limit is reached in a Multi Flag Game, the difference in Points is one, and the leading Team’s flag is not in the starting position, the Game must continue.  If the trailing Team scores a Point and ties the Game before the leading Team is able to return their flag, the Game must continue in Sudden Death.  If the leading Team is able to return their flag and maintain their one-Point lead, the Game is over.  If the Game’s 30 minute time limit is reached and the leading Team has maintained their one Point lead, the leading Team will win the Game.

11.  Teams are permitted to start Multi Flag Games with three Players.  However, Teams with fewer than four Players are not permitted to start a Team Slayer Game and Teams with fewer than three Players are not permitted to start any Games.  If a Team doesn’t have the required minimum number of Players to start the first Game, five minutes after the announcement, that Team must Forfeit the Game.  If a Team doesn’t have the required minimum number of Players to start a Game, after the previous Game has ended, that Team must Forfeit the Game.  Players are not permitted to join Games that are in progress.  Players who arrive while a Game is in progress may not sit with or coach their Team.  Players are not permitted to add a Character to a Game for a Player who is absent.
