Incase any of you have forgotten the rules and such, here they are. Feel free to ask any questions:

Welcome to another year of the HCE League! We ended the last league when KOD defeated CAF in the finals. Over the years there have been quite a bit of criticism of the league. Hopefully this year we can be much more organized than the other times. The rules have been revised and it is advised that you take a moment to read them.

And first things first to those who are new to the league: The weapon setup for this league is standard weapons. Things like modifications, all heavies, all vehicles are not in this league (Coldsnap and Hugeass are prime examples). If this isn't what you're looking for then do NOT join.

Submitting your rosters:

Deadline for submitting rosters is September 9th
Deadline for adding or removing players is when the first game of the league starts!

To register your roster, you must send your roster information to address hceleague@gmail.com.

What is required:

Team Name and Tags (please ensure that your name and tags do not copy another team)
Starters and backups
Time zone for the team (time zone for each player as well is recommended but not required)
Maps you would like to see (will go through the admins for approvable).

It is advised that you keep a copy of the email incase you wish to add or remove a player from the roster.

Example:

Name: Huge Itchy Virus -HiV-

Starters:

Player 1
Player 2
Player 3
Player 4
Player 5

Backs ups

Player 1
Player 2
Player 3
(and so on)

If you don't have your starters set up, you are more than welcome to do the following:

Players:
Player 1
Player 2
(and so on)

To remove or add a player:

To make things easier for the admins, we would require that you send us a format similar to the below.

Email Name: -HiV- Remove (or add)

(+ or -) So and So

Starters:
Player 1
So and So
Player 3
and so on

You pretty much get the point I would assume... If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at hceleague@gmail.com or PM STLRamsFan, Phil, or Shadow.

1. Setup - Matches:

a. Matches and times must be confirmed at least one day before the game is scheduled. On game day, if a team is missing people or something, teams must play with less people/forfeit/etc.
However, if both teams have an agreement to delay the game then you must give the time and day to the admins via PM or email. This is so it'll give us a chance to plan. However, please don't keep delaying the game to the point that it holds up the entire league. Admins have the power to overturn a delay if they feel that it is holding up the league.

b. Team leaders must present their contact information to officials. It'll make things easier for everyone. Teams should discuss times with their opponents, and present the information to the officials/admins.

c. When suggesting playtimes, teams MUST indicated their region (EST/GMT/etc.) for organization's sake.

d. Teams should have an even game as much as possible, 5 starters per team. Backups are welcome.

e. Free Agents- You are free to add other players before the games start. Once the games start you cannot add another player to your roster. Any player that is not on the roster will be kicked (excluding refs, specs, and admins).

f. Once the league starts you will not be allowed to add another player to the roster. This was a major problem last time. If you add another player before the first game of the league starts then the change will be accepted. Make sure you had your roster set incase the unexpected happens (ex: 2 starts leave your team).

g. Teams and team leaders must be cooperative in helping organize the matches.

h. Spectators - If you would like to watch the games then please contact an admin prior to the game. Remember there are limited spaces in the game so not everyone can join.

i. Filmers - Filmers would be greatly appreciated. We would like to have 2-3 filmers at the most. One editor is suggested but not required.

j: Series - The league will consist of 3 game series for the first few matches. In the semifinals it jumps to 5. In the finals it jumps to 7.

2. Setup - Maps:

a. The two opposing teams are to decide on the time for the 3/5/7 matches.

b. Maps are chosen by the officials. (Complete map list will be agreed upon beforehand, teams must be prepared). If an official is associated with a team then they will have no say in the choosing of the maps. This is to prevent bias accusions of the league. The only exceptions may be Rams, Phil, and Shadow if it's an emergency.

3. Games:

a. Hacks - If you are caught cheating of any sort, you and your team are banned on the spot. No questions asked, even if it's your friend, brother, whatever. It is your responsibly that your teammates are not cheaters and will play fair.

b. Anything goes in game, however no camping in secret places (i.e. top of maps, pushing out of barriers, etc.).

c. Please keep the game civil. No one, under any circumstances, may insult the opposing team purposefully (Unless it is known to be playful) - the offending player may be subject to a ban, if multiple players then the team may be DQ'ed. Swearing is fine as Halo can get frustrating. However, don't flood the chat swears as you will be warned and kicked from the game if you continue.

d. Keep the complaining to a minimal, if you have suggestions or concerns. Please contact an admin.

4. Game Setup:

Password: smar (rams backwards)

Servers will be reserved at least 30 minutes to an hour ahead of time. This is so admins can set up the server for the scheduled game.

CTF:
No assault
Multi Flag
Flag at home to score
3 Caps
30 minutes Time limit

Slayer:
50 Kills
TK Off
Killing specs, admins, and refs is prohibited.
Each game will include at least 1 Slayer game.

Breaks:
After each game we will go to c3ll for a team koth game. This game is merely to allow bathroom breaks, lunch breaks, whatever. If both teams insist on just going straight to the next game then we will do so. Regardless if you win or lose, this game has no effect on the series what so ever.

5. Overtime:

If for some reason the match is still tied after three games. There will be a sudden death match played on one of the original maps by bungie to keep everyone mostly happy. If both teams agree to which map should be played in overtime that would be great.

How Overtime will be setup is simple:

CTF
1 Capture
No Time limit
Standard Weapons

Slayer
50 kills
No Time limit
Standard Weapons

Game type Decision Process:

CTF in first overtime of the league
Slayer in the next

And so the cycle continues.

And whoever wins this game is considered the winner of the series.

Offenses:

The following offenses will result in a kick from the game (as in you can’t return to the match) and can result in a disqualification from the league depending on the offense.

Kickable Offense:
- Killing admins, refs, specs, basically anyone who isn’t on either team on purpose.
- Botting, wall hacking, any type of cheating will be an automatic disqualification.
- Switching teams to disrupt the game.
- Having more than five players playing (having one as a spec is fine if there is room).

Warnings (Three warnings will mean a kick from the match);
- Flooding chat
- Suggesting cheating (should be common sense)
- Picking a fight with another member (joking is fine)

This should be pretty much common sense.

Referees mainly, but League officials in general will keep track of these offenses.

If you feel that an official is being bias, unfair, ect. Please keep it up with one of the top league admins which include Rams, Phil, and Shadow.

Your League Admins Include:

STLRamsFan
Innergoat (Dr@home)
Boss
Mod

I was thinking it might actually be pretty cool to have logos for the team. Now this is completely optional but I thought it would be pretty cool. Just post a logo for your team that is appropriate and I'll put it on the bracket. Just make sure the background is transparent and you'll be good to go.
