RULES OF HALO DEMO DERBY

Halo Demo Derby is a simple game. Two teams of four players square off in an arena in which each team tries to know the other team off the cliff using any means necessary.

Elimination of an opponent costs them a point. All players being eliminated ends the round.

Each match consists of at least 10 rounds. The team with the highest score at the end of the game wins.

Each player is equipped with only a pistol and assault rifle. There are no grenades. All weapons have unlimited ammo.

The base Halo 3 gametype isTeam Slayer). Damage is set to 0% with player health set to 100%. One direct vehicle hit or assination will kill a player.

Dead players do not respawn.

Friendly players can hurt each other. Learn to use your radar.

In the highly unlikely event that a player finds themselves outside of the arena (beyond the wall), they must find a teleporter. It will drop the player into the middle of the arena. It is the player's duty to return to play within 15 seconds (judged by time on Save Film) or they forfeit the entire match.


HALO DEMO DERBY FALL 2008 LEAGUE RULES

OVERALL

Each team has a roster of up to five players, including one Team Captain. Each match, the Captain will choose four players from the roster to play in the game. Captains may add or remove players from the Team roster until they have played in a match for that team. Then they are on that team permanently until the end of the season. Players may only appear on the roster of one team.

Each match will consist of one 4v4 nine-round game. The team with at the most (that being the closest to 0 deaths) points at the end of the game wins the match. Games must be completed to 9 rounds.

The HDD has room for 32 teams separated into four divisions of 8 teams.

The regular season will be played from _____________ to ____________. Over the ten weeks, teams will play one game per week, for ten games total. Each team will play the other teams in their division twice.

At the end of the Regular Season, the top team (as determined by number of Wins) in each division will advance to a single elimination 4-team playoff. Each division leader will be seeded in the tournament based on the same rankings.

The remaining play-off slots will be filled by wild card teams who have the best Wins record across the entire League, but did not win their division.

In the event of a tie when determining Division leader, playoff seeding or wildcard berths, the following tie breakers will be used in order:
Head to head regular season record (if any)
A one game playoff scheduled by the League (except for seeding)
Coin toss (for playoff seeding)

Have fun! This is the first Halo Demo Derby League, so there are bound to be some scenarios we did not expect. The League Admins will do their best to resolve any disputes and they may even have to violate some of the stated rules to do so. This is just for recreational purposes and bragging rights, so let's try to keep the competition friendly.


SCHEDULING

Each team will play every team other team in their Division twice.
Each team will play their games on their assigned game night. Odd numbered games will be played first. At the conclusion of the first game of the evening, Captains will contact Legend Zero Tournament Admins

Team Captains may contact each other via the forum email tool or via Xbox Live to co-ordinate.
There is a tool on each HaloDemoDerby.com Player profile that allows you to contact the player via a private message.

GAMEPLAY

Before each match, TC's should download the latest version of the Game Variant and Map Variant from the VARIANTS thread.

Each game, the team which comes first alphabetically will be the Party Leader team. The Party Leader TC will make the match at least five minutes before game time, set the party to invite only and make the Max Party size 8. He or she will then invite the opponent TC.

After Match 5, Teams that come second alphabetically will play host.
Each TC is then responsible to invite all their players (up to four total per team).
If all players have not joined the lobby by 10 minutes after game time, the game begins.

If a team does not have three players in the lobby by ten minutes after match time, they forfeit the match.

If a team has only three members join, play can begin. However that will receive a -1 per round penalty added by the HDD Admins when viewing scores.

If a team does not respond to scheduling for a game or does not play their match, they forfeit the match. During a forfeit the losing team is credited with a loss. The winning team receives a win.

A team which forfeits two games in the Regular Season will be removed from the current and future Halo Demo Derby Leagues.


REPORTING

The TC of the winning team reports the results of the match. The losing TC should not attempt to report the game unless directed to do so by the League.

The winning TC will visit the Team Schedule thread on this board and start a new thread with the team v team name, reporting the win.

The reporting thread will require them to provide a bungie.net URL for the record of the game and to specify which team played Blue Team and which played Red Team.

After the game, both TC's must save a copy of the Save Film and can post it in their bugnie.net File Share.

The League may add a similar tool for reporting highlights. This will be announced at a later time.

DISPUTES

Any disputes should be sent to LZStaff@gmail.com with a link to a file share that contains footage of the disputed game.
The League admins (or a selection of TC's) will make a final ruling on the match. They may let the results of the game stand, declare the game invalid, or assign a forfeit to one of the teams.

Team Captains can choose to test the network prior to their match by hosting a one minute “HDD Test” test game.

This is the only method a team can use to test their connections. If someone begins a "HDD Team" game, then the match has officially begun.

Any game listed on bungie.net played under the “HDD Team” gametype is an official match and its results will count.

Individual players who lag out can be re-invited by their team. Play is not suspended while a player lags out for whatever reason, however a team will face a -1 point per round penalty for each round their player is out of the game.

If the game re-establishes its host (and gives an explicit message saying so) at any time after the start of the match, the game is immediately ruled invalid and must be replayed.

For all other network issues, any disputes should be sent to the League following instructions in Rule 1 of Disputes.

We will be tracking teams that have network issues. If a team has ongoing network issues, even those beyond their control, they may be removed from the League.
