UK VERSUS NA MATCHES
In the event that the seeding results in a matchup where a North American team is playing against an United Kingdom / European team, the matches will have to be played on both servers. It's a time consuming endeavor but the only one that is fair under the circumstances. The scores will be tallied up and the winning team annouced depending on the results. These matches will be played immediately one after another. Same map, same rules.
DISQUALIFICATION CRITERIA
- You have approximately 10 minutes to show and be ready for your match otherwise you will be declared a no-show and will be declared forfeit from your match. So please show up!
- In the event of you breaking any given rule, you will be given a first warning, followed by a second warning on the second occurrence of the offense and finally a disqualification. This number is not specific to just one offense, i.e, breaking the rule same rule two times; if you break any of the given rules consecutively two times, you are disqualified.
- In the event of a disconnection you are given approximately 3 minutes (180 seconds) to get back into the room and continue the game; in the event that you fail to come back online, it will be assumed you forfeit from the tournament and your opposition will automatically be awarded a win and proceed to the next round.
- The use of macros, hacks and glitches of any nature will result in an automatic disqualification and being reported to the CrossFire Support.
RESCHEDULING YOUR MATCH
In the event that you/your team is unable to attend your match, please notify the administrating staff of the tournament immediately. Additionally, to reschedule your match, your opposition must also agree to rescheduling and a new date and time will be chosen to the compliance of both parties. In the case that the other party does not agree to reschedule, our hands are tied and there is little that can be done. The date, time and schedule for the tournament are placed beforehand and it is your responsibility to see that it matches with your own schedule.
This is subject to change per host's discretion.
ANTI-CHEAT

It is in everyones best interest to visit the website and do a quick read about the anti-cheat so we can all be on the same page regarding it's use and how to actually get it running.

Where do I show up at 1:00 PM EST to begin the tournament?
The Discord Channel Join the #general lobby. Everything is managed and organized through the Discord channel.
Do I need a mic?
Not a requirement but it definitely helps and improves the communication between you and the overseer. Plus don't you want to communicate with your partner?
How long will the tournament last?
Depends on the number of games played each day but we hope to wrap up the tournament within a day.
When will we get our rewards?
After the tournament has concluded and the winners have been decided. That being said however, there may be a delay in providing prizes to everyone. Not everyone may receive their prize at the same time. Rest assured however everyone will receive their reward eventually.
Will only one game be played a time?
No, unfortunately to help speed up the tournament, two to three games will be run concurrently each handled by a separate overseer. The most anticipated matches will be streamed. We're limited on the quantity and quality of our streamers.
What weapons/items/characters am I allowed to use?
We are following the P.U.G. rulesets, please take a look at what's available by visiting the thread.
Are we allowed to have subs?
There will be no subs, similar to how we had our 1vs1 and 2vs2. If one (or two) of your team mates are unable to make it to the match. You are free to play with what remains of your team against the odds. Good luck.
I saw the schedule post below but how do I know what match number my match is?
Refer to the bracket bracket layout. Look at the number preceded each matchup. That is your match number.

Here are the instructions for pure beginners on how to use MOSS. It is the anti-cheat measure we employed on our previous tournament and for the most part it got the job done. It's not a big and fancy application, the process is simple. It takes random screenshots within the defined range. Not during a constant interval. Additionally, it also captures a log file that outlines the processes and system information of your computer. No, it does not have any information that invades your privacy. It's sufficent for small time tournaments that we host and it's a mandatory step you will have to do if you wish to participate in the tournaments. If you have trouble starting or running the software, talk to the admins on Discord for step by step support.STEP
VISUAL REPRESENTATIONSTEP 1DOWNLOADDownload the MOSS executable file from the MOSS Website
You can go to the main MOSS Website to find the download yourself or click on this direct link to immediately start your download.STEP 2LOCATE THE FILE & RUN ITFind the downloaded executable, usually in your "Downloads" folder. After finding it, run the file. Run it as an admistrator if you are running on an account with high UAC settings.
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","src":"http:\/\/oi67.tinypic.com\/2dgw3zp.jpg"}[/IMG2]STEP 3THE WINDOWAfter you run the file, the MOSS application will start and it will be located on the top right of your screen. It's a very simple design with straight to the point interface. The fundamental settings are listed in the red colored text at the bottom of the window. These settings must be adjusted for CrossFire.
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","src":"http:\/\/oi63.tinypic.com\/2h5ilvk.jpg"}[/IMG2]STEP 4ADJUST SETTINGS FOR CROSSFIRETo adjust the settings, begin by moving your cursor to the top left of the MOSS window where will see the File drop down. Click it and then select Parameters.
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","src":"http:\/\/oi63.tinypic.com\/21bjg4.jpg"}[/IMG2]STEP 5SELECT CROSSFIRESelect the Crossfire radio option and then click the Ok button. There is no need to adjust any other settings, nor will you actually be able to adjust any settings.
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","src":"http:\/\/oi63.tinypic.com\/118fux5.jpg"}[/IMG2]STEP 6START CAPTUREOnce you have been advised to start the capture by the overseer of the match, move your cursor to the Capture dropdown on the top and click on Start. Doing so will minimize the MOSS window and the overlay will be hidden and you can begin your game normally. Do not open the MOSS window again from the taskbar unless you know what you are doing.
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","src":"http:\/\/oi63.tinypic.com\/264j9lj.jpg"}[/IMG2]STEP 7STOP CAPTUREAfter your game has finished, open the MOSS window from your task bar and like previously, move your cursor to the Capture dropdown. However, this time you will click the Stop option.
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","src":"http:\/\/oi67.tinypic.com\/23o6k6.jpg"}[/IMG2]STEP 8SEE WHERE MOSS SAVED THE ZIP FILEAfter you click Stop, moss will create a .ZIP with all the necessary screenshots and system infornation. Do not attempt to tamper with the contents of this compressed folder. Do not change the name either. The integrity of this folder is checked using the MOSS file check tool. If your zip file fails this check, there will be major complications regarding the legitimacy of your game.
[IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","src":"http:\/\/oi63.tinypic.com\/2poqxiu.jpg"}[/IMG2]STEP 9LOCATE SAVED ZIP FILEFind the saved file from the previously outlined location from MOSS. You will be required to send us this MOSS file either through email, discord or public upload platforms. The choice is yours.
