You must read the rules!

No Xbox Live Gamer Tags will be changed 24 hours prior to the start of the event. If you do not get it changed prior to this deadline, you must use your existing gamer tag for the tournament.

Tournament Structure:

32 Team, Single Elimination Bracket
Best of 3 to Quarterfinals
Best of 5 for Semi's
Best of 7 for Grand Finals

General Rules:

No Shows:
A team has 15 minutes to arrive to a match if they do not do so please contact a ref and they will contact the opposing team. Our goal is to have these matches played out and not forfeit.

In between games you have 5 minutes to start the next map. Do this to keep the matches on track.

Hosting Rules:
Teams with seeding closer to zero will host the majority of the maps and will host 2nd. The team with the seed farther from zero will host 1st and host 1 map in a Bo3, 2 in a Bo5, and 3 in a Bo7.

Both teams must agree on a suitable host through the use of a lag test on map not on the map list.

If a suitable host cannot be found contact a CSN representative

Any match that has been started, may only be restarted in the following situations;
Both teams agree to restart the match.
A Cyber Sports Network Staff member instructs the teams to replay the map
The internet connection for players on both teams is unplayable.

A map/match that has been completed, regardless of the settings or maps, will be considered a finished match/map and results will be recorded as such.

Matches may only be disputed if a team has concrete evidence of a rules violation not included in the settings or maps. Teams may file a dispute if they believe their opponent to be using players that are not on their roster, but are using the gamertag of another player. Remember, evidence must be presented.

The use of any in-game glitch by either team may result in a forfeit by the team using it.
A dispute of a match in which a 'glitch' has been suspected of being used will only be taken seriously if there is concrete and visual proof of the use of the glitch.

If an entire map is played with the wrong rules the score will stand as the map has been completed. If rules are wrong please join opposing team and ask that the match be restarted.

If a map is ended after the first kill has occurred and it stopped for something other than rules the hosting team forfeits that map unless evidence is brought forth to say otherwise.

All Gamertags used in a match must match up with those on the roster of each team. If any team is using a unregistered gamertag then they will forfeit the match unless a suitable substitute is found.

A ref can make sure a game is started properly but please do not waste our time as we have many other players that might need our help. Only contact the head ref via XBL with a text message when necessary.
