BC2 Vietnam Tournament - All Teams Please Read

Week 1 Phu Bai Valley



Please review the rules for the Tournament before every match:

Rules Page



It is up to each team to check the correctness of the server settings once they enter the server. Any round that is started with incorrect settings must be played to completion unless both teams agree in global chat to restart it.



Teams may only use the Tuk-Tuk, M151A1, and G69 vehicles. Entering any other vehicle will result in a round forfeit. This includes entering a helicopter, boat, or tank. The burden of proof is on the disputing team.



Screenshot: Every player must take a screenshot before the match starts which includes another player, the terrain/sky, and a chat message from both team captains in order to prove that the screenshot was taken during the match. If a player is subbed in or disconnected during the match then the screenshot process must be repeated. All players must submit their screenshots to the other team at the conclusion of the match. Failure to do so may result in a match forfeit or the player in question being suspended. Screenshots should be swapped no later than 1 hours after the conclusion of the match. Any disputes over screenshots must be submitted within 2 hours of the match conclusion, otherwise the results will stand.



The default day/time for matches is Monday at 9:30 est. Teams may adjust this as needed as long as they both agree in match comms and notify the administration if there is a day change. Matches may not be played after Wednesday night.



Rosters will be locked at 11:59 est on Jan 9th. Players may not be added to a roster after this time.



If your team intends to dispute ANYTHING then submit a dispute and DO NOT report the results. Once the match results are reported then you have forfeited your right to file a dispute.

"If a player is subbed in or disconnected during the match then the screenshot process must be repeated."

so what exactly do we do if someone gets disconnected and reconnects mid round?

Do it after that round.

Maybe we should re word it, but we obviously don't want you to stop mid round and repeat the process.

so if a player were to reconnect in the second half would teams stay in the server after the completion of the second round and retake the screenshot then?

Maybe I missed something but print screen doesn't seem to work in-game. Every time I try pasting it in paint I just get a white screen, and I didn't see any screen shot button in game. Do you want ever player to be running some sort of third party program to take screen shots?

Xfire, Fraps, your cellphone, etc.

Will taking one screenshot a match be that big of a burden for teams?

I am able to paste my bc2 screenies into mspaint.

I suggest everyone check to see if they have the ability to paste screenshots in mspaint or whatever before the match day! If not try using xfire, it's free and very easy to use.

It's for the player who joined/disconnected.

We just want to see a screenshot from each player for each time they join the server. If the other team takes off immediately after the match is over and your team had a player who joined mid round then there isn't anything you can do about that.

Otherwise, yes, just stick around for an extra 30-45 seconds to have somebody on their team type something and screenshot it.

Modifying game visuals/settings by way of external software or any other method, deemed to give a player a significant advantage, will be considered cheating.

-Added to the rules.

so thats what players are resorting to for the 11's. Well I have xfire so its easy no burden, just have to remember to take it lolz.

It probably should have been in the rules since day one seeing as how we don't use pbss.

Other games used to require it as well. Not sure if any still do.
