Please read and understand both the CSL General Rules and the Call of Duty 4 4v4 Rules listed below:

1.1. The tournament will follow a double elimination knockout format, whereby a loss will demote your team to the lower bracket. A further loss in the lower bracket will result in your teams elimination from the tournament.
1.2. Teams will be required to play 1 game per week in the upper bracket, and upto 2 games per week in the lower bracket.
1.3. Default times per round will be stated by CSL Admin in the match details.
1.4. Teams may agree to play at a mutually convenient time. The agreed date and time must be before the fixture deadline and confirmed by both teams in the match details.
1.5. If teams are unable to agree a mutually convenient time then the fixture must be played at the default time. Any team who do not show at this time will be deemed to have forfeit the fixture (please refer to match arrangement rules).
1.6. Fixture deadlines will not be extended to any teams at any stage of the tournament. If you are unable to play within the fixture windows stated by CSL Admin then your team will either forfeit or be disqualified.
1.7. Consoles.net requests that all teams follow a sporting code of conduct. Please abide by the rules and show respect to both your opponents and CSL Admins.

2.1. All players must be registered on Consoles.net and resident in Europe to enter.
2.2. All players must have correct Xbox Live gamertags registered in their profiles. If you change your gamertag please update your profile before playing to avoid disputes.
2.3. Any team found fielding non-registered players is in breach of Consoles.net rules and will subsequently forfeit. It is the responsibility of each team to ensure opponents play with registered team mates. Please supply clear evidence to prove any use of illegal players.
2.4. If both teams agree to allow the use of an unregistered player, then full details must be confirmed by both teams in the match details before the game is played. CSL Admin will treat any dispute as the use of an illegal player unless details are clearly stated.
2.5. Each team must nominate one player to be team captain. It is the responsibility of the team captain to communicate with other teams and CSL Admin, arrange fixtures within the deadlines provided and report results accordingly. Failure to arrange a match or report results within the deadlines may result in forfeit or disqualification.
2.6. Substitutions can only be made in the pre-game lobby and not whilst a game is in progress. The only exception to this rule is if a player disconnects from an objective gametype and is unable to rejoin then that player may be replaced by another registered member of the squad.
2.7. Transferring of players between teams is not permitted once the tournament has started.
2.8. Teams may recruit new players but may not recruit a player who has played for another team in the tournament.

3.1. Each fixture will consist of a best of 3 gametype series.
3.2. Gametypes and maps per round will be stated by CSL Admin.

3.5. Scores from each round must be added to determine the winner of the gametype.
3.6. If teams are tied after the 3 gametypes have been played, then any gametype which resulted in a draw must be replayed.
3.7. If the teams meeting in the final have not yet played each other and the team coming from the losers bracket wins the game, then the Winners Bracket Final maps will be played to determine the result of the game since both teams would have only lost once. The team without a loss will choose to have higher seed host privileges for the Finals or Winners Bracket Finals set of maps prior to the start of the game.
3.8. If teams meeting in the final have previously met then the matches will expand to a best of 7 game series.
