3. How to participate

Participation in the Competition involves playing ranked matches online with Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars through our multiplayer system. Your win/loss record and the ranking of the players you play determine your overall ranking on the 1v1 ladder at any given time. The more games that you win, and the higher the rankings of the players you defeat, the higher you will move up the ladder, closer to #1.

To play a match on our 1v1 ranked ladder, you must:

a. Log online to Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars with your EA Membership Online ID. To create a new Online ID, simply type the name that you would like to use and then click “log in”. If the name is not in use, this will become your new Online ID. Remember to always log in with the same Online ID.

b. Select Automatch at the bottom of the screen.

c. Choose 1v1 Ladder from the top drop-down menu.

d. Choose your faction. You may play as any faction for any ranked match. You do not need to select the same faction every time you play.

e. Click Join Game.

f. You will then be prompted while our online servers connect you to another player who is within a range of your current ranking. If you would like to be matched up against anyone on the ladder, no matter what their rank is, then select “widen search” during this process.

g. Once your match is complete you will be brought back to the ladder and faction selection screen. If you wish to play again, simply click “Join Game”.

h. Your ranking on the 1v1 “Solo” ladder is determined by your win/loss record and our “Elo rating points system”.

4. Cheating, Abuse and Disorderly Behavior

Any player may be disqualified immediately from this Competition and, at the discretion of the Promoter, from further EA Online competitions, for any failure to comply with the EA Online Terms or for any cheating, including:

a. using any cheats, hacks or other 3rd party "helper" applications in playing games;

b. intentionally disconnecting from the Internet during any game;

c. colluding with other players in playing games; or

d. taking advantage of known exploits in the game (NB it is the responsibility of players to understand and avoid all current illegal exploits).

Abusive or disorderly behaviour, including any use of harassing, negative, or profane language online, will not be tolerated and will also constitute grounds for immediate disqualification.

5. Winner Selection

The winners of the Competition will be determined through a series of 3 qualification rounds and a season ending online tournament as follows:

# Qualification Round 1 – Sept 24 (1pm EST) to October 22 (1pm EST).

# Qualification Round 2 – Oct 22 (1.01pm EST) to November 19 (1pm EST)

# Qualification Round 3 – November 19 (1.01pm EST) to December 17 (1pm EST)

Season Ending Online Tournament – TBD

* The top eight (8) solo players on the “1v1 Ladder” at the end of Qualification Round (1) and (2) will qualify for the Season Ending Online Tournament.

* The top sixteen (16) solo players on the “1v1 Ladder” at the end of Qualification Round (3) will qualify for the Season Ending Online Tournament.

If a player qualifies twice or more ("Multiple Qualifier), then the next highest ranking player on the “1v1 Ladder” for the Qualification Round in which the Multiple Qualifier earned his or her second and/or third qualification, will qualify for the Season Ending Online Tournament. For example: If the #8 ranked player for Qualification Round 1 was still ranked #8 at the end of the Qualification Round 2, then the #9 ranked player for Qualification Round 2 would qualify for the Season Ending Online Tournament.

Once a player has ranked in the "Top 8" on the 1v1 Ladder for any Qualification Round, they do not need to continue playing or hold their rank in order to stay qualified for the Season Ending Online Tournament by being. However, if a player decides to continue playing and can maintain their “Top 8” ranking for two Qualification Rounds, then they will win a cash prize of $250 U.S dollars. If a player can maintain their “Top 8” ranking for three straight Qualification Rounds, then they will win a further cash prize of $500 U.S dollars. See below for all prize details.

The Online Season Ending Tournament will consist of 32 players and be a single elimination bracketed tournament. Each player will play a “Best of 3” against their opponent. The maps and rules will be designated by the Command & Conquer League team. The first player to win two matches against their opponent will move onto the next bracket. The top two (2) players from the Season Ending Online Tournament will compete for the Championship Match and the Grand Prize for the Competition.

The match rules for the Season Ending Online Tournament will be announced at the beginning of the Season Ending Online Tournament.

6. Prizes

Prizes will be awarded to the Grand Finalist, the Runner Up, the Second Runner Up, and the Third Runner Up of the Season Ending Online Tournament as follows:

----------
EDIT:

Hey everyone,

There is a mistake in the legal rules as I did not intend for the Netherlands to be excluded. I will find a way to make this happen, so for all intensive purposes, please go ahead and compete.

Furthermore, aside from the Netherlands, any other countries not on the list will be up for nomination next season. It took a VERY long time getting world wide rules for the countries already on there. We aimed for our top countries. Its incredibly difficult legally to make a competition open world-wide.

So please understand, I will do everything in my power to get the Netherlands on that list, it was not an oversight, its a mistake, i'll take care of it.

2v2 ladder season is on the bubble for next season, we are starting with 1v1. Its tough to do 2v2 when you can't pick your partner. I think that makes fairly logical sense.

I hear you, please understand, doing any competition world-wide legally is the toughest challenge out there. If all governments had the same rules, it'd be easy.

Kurzfassung: Apoc wird dafür sorgen, dass die Holländer mitspielen dürfen.

 

[stefros]

Aaah also können Deutsche unter 18 auch teilnehmen wenn sie die Einverständniserklärung ihrer Eltern haben


Aber dass Holland nicht dabei ist ist echt schon ne Sauerei

Hmm ich spiel auf Rang 4, will den Booblehead

 

[Mooff]

Holland nicht dabei hat mich auch überrascht.

 

[URHELL]

Mich auch, aber wie war das ohne holland fahren wir zur WM. :P Ok Österreich auch nicht da bei find ich mehr als schade, genau so wie die Schweiz.

Ist schon komisch Spiele für die Schweiz die WCg und in der ladder spiele ich halt für Deutschland.:P

 

[MrYuRi]

Weniger Konkurrenz = gut für den Rank. Ich bin zufrieden

 

[URHELL]

Weniger Konkurrenz = gut für den Rank. Ich bin zufrieden

So kann man es auch sehen, xD. Aber finde es für einige spieler schade das sie nicht mit machen dürfen.

 

[StyleLiga]

ich auch. sind viele gute spieler ausgeschlossen

 

[Dragonfood]

-.- ~~ >:[

 

[MrYuRi]

Wir sind hier doch nicht bei "Wünschdirwas" ^^

 

[Osbes]

würde EA es denn überhaupt merken wenn ein Österreicher einfach Deutschland angibt in seinen Acc. Details
Naja, bekannte Com Gesichter haben bei sowas natürlich schlechtere Karten ... shit happens

hm, wenn ich in die Qually kommen würde gebe es KW Gratis, das ist ja schon mal ein Anreiz ^^ auch wenn ich es wohl nicht schaffen werde

 

[Dragonfood]

Ich zieh nach Deutschland -.-

Ich werd mich auf jeden Fall erkundigen, was da möglich ist, so einfach geb ich mich sicher nicht damit ab.

Aber Österreich, die Rechtslage is doch fast dieselbe wie in Deutschland -.-

 

[Unwritten]

Versteh auch nicht warum Österreich / Holland nich mitmachen dürfen, mich würde auch mal ein triftiger Grund interessieren, erklären kann ich mir das nicht...

 

[OpTiK]

Ich werde mich auch fuer Dragonfood einsetzten, damit ich die haelfte vom Preis abbekomme ....

Alles was gewonnen wird, wird selbstverstaendlich unter T2D membern aufgeteilt

 

[santa]

ihr seit wohl nicht so bewandert in internationalem recht, und wirtschaftsrecht.
internet geldspiele sind ein verdammt heißes eisen wo es grauzonen rechts und links gibt.
dann kommt noch dazu dass es in diesem fall eine unglaublich verbreitete anzahl an möglichkeiten gibt zu betrügen, und us internet recht wohl überall gegen bürgerrechte verstößt (ausser vieleicht im iran oder nordkorea, china...)

es würde mich absolut nicht überraschen wenn es in der mehrzahl der länder dieser welt keine feste gesetzeslage für so etwas gibt, oder sie mit us recht kolidiert, oder sie so unklar ist dass man das risiko besser vermeidet weil es eh nur einen minimalen cnc 3 markt gibt.


also seit mal nicht so blauäugig leute, auch wenn irgendwelche wannabe cool kids es anders sehen, dass hier ist das "real life" , und da gibt es manchmal größere zusammenhänge.

 

[FiX]

Man kann sich aber recht sicher sein, dass wenn sie sogar deutsche mitspielen lassen können, eigentlich keine rechtlichen Probleme für sonstige EU-Länder bestehen. Vergleiche Online-Glücksspiele, das ist in Österreich kaum ein Problem, was auch der Grund dafür ist, dass die ganzen Unternehmen wie BWIN etc. alle in Österreich sitzen.

Ich denke mitspielen wird man einfach können, wenn man Deutschland angibt. Allerdings könnte es dann Probleme geben, wenn man die Preise erhalten soll. Könnte man aber wohl auch einfach über einen Strohmann in einem der zugelassenen Länder abwickeln, dem man vertraut, dass er die Sachen dann an einen weiter leitet. Man kann aber natürlich vieles, ob man es sollte ist eine andere Frage.

Dass deutsche unter 18 mit Einwilligung der Eltern teilnehmen können kann ich aus dem obigen Text aber übrigens nicht herauslesen. Das gilt meines Erachtens nur für die ganzen Länder in denen man schon ab 16 teilnehmen kann.

 

[StyleLiga]

ich habs auch so verstanden wie fix... wenn man die volljährigkeit in seinem land noch nicht erreicht hat braucht man ne einverständniserklärung. sprich die altersangaben in den klammern sind bindend aber brasilianer die 14 sind brauchen halt ne erklärung der eltern, damit das laufen kann...

 

[Mooff]

ok, ich habs mal editiert, d.h. dann also, dass Deutsche erst ab 18jahren teilnehmen dürfen.

 

[URHELL]

ok, ich habs mal editiert, d.h. dann also, dass Deutsche erst ab 18jahren teilnehmen dürfen.

lol geil noch weniger Konkurrenz. :P

 

[GuNnEr]

LOL naja ich habs so verstanden wie es da zuerst stand.
Ich werde aufjeden Fall teilnehmen und mein bestes geben auch wenn ich erst 17 bin das ist mir kack egal.

 

[URHELL]

Wen das raus kommt bekommst du erst mal einen fetten bann. :P
