Team challenge

How long does the other team have to accept?

Quote from rules:

Map choice: Defender (48 hours to accept and issue two possible dates/times.)
Side choice: Attacker (48 hours from acceptance to confirm a date/time and side.)

Find complete rule set here:

/rules.asp?set=Counter-Strike:+Source+NA+5v5+Ladder

There needs to be a quiz on the rules of the ladder a team is joining, or to join the team you want.

I second that, Spit. On my original team, we didn't give people the join password until they read the rule page, haha.

Snizz is correct.

Also there should not have to be any quiz as it only takes five minutes to read them.

Ok what happens ofter 48 hours? Rule gods?

HERE I AM.....

From the rules:

All ladders have a time limitation for match responses. This includes Acceptance of a Challenge and/or Date Acceptance. The Present time frame is 48 hours. At that time a "Flag" is created for the Ladder Admins to address the next time they login to their Admin Console. If the problem is resolved by that team prior to the Admin logging in then the match continues as before. If the Admin logs in first the appropriate action will be taken. In this case forfeits will be granted and rungs dropped.

In a nutshell, you get whats called a "FFW" or Forfeit Win. You move up in rungs like you have won the match, however your teams record remains the same. The team that didn't accept gets a "FFL" or forfeit loss. They lose rungs and get a (X) number next to their record, keeping track of the total "FFL".

I think thats what that number is at least.

Now remember this is being done by the admins so it could be longer before it actually gets taken care of. Depending on when the admin assigned to that ladder signs on and is alerted to the 48 hour violation.

snizz actually being helpful on the forums good work!

It may onle take a few minutes but a staggering number of people *don't get* the rules.

I don't know that there are many people who "don't get" them so much as they just never bother to read them and try to learn them as they go.

When I joined this ladder, before most of you with my team mid-pickers, I was all super serious about it and what not. But, I got my team in vent and read the rules. Outloud. Like a fucking tool. We never had a question and knew exactly what we needed to do from screenshots to reporting. It took about 15 minutes. Do it.

That it all.

so i'm assuming we just wait for an admin to force a forfeit as opposed to messaging them? My team currently is waiting for a challenge acceptance that is pass due,

Yea, you can wait 48 hours I think it is, then the admins will be notified and it could take an additional 48 hours from there.

I would suggest heading over to mIRC in the gamesurge network and go to the channel #twl_cs. There you can talk to an admin right away and maybe the process could be expedited.

well it's been done i didn't even go to irc, admins are on the ball with this one, thanks for the info snizz,

We try

Most of the admin's log in at least once a day, and first priority is 48 hour forfeit(s). If it has been over 24 hours you can come to our IRC channel and we will be happy to assist you. Thanks.
