2. If BOTH teams are unable to make the match date and time specified on the schedule, both teams will need to open a support ticket. Pending an administrator’s approval, both will teams will be permitted to reschedule to a date and time within 22 hours of the original match date. The match must be played on one of the team’s private server, to be agreed upon by both teams. Remember, the match score must be reported via My Matches within 22 hours of the originally scheduled match. If the score is not reported, both teams will be subject to a double forfeit and removal from the tournament. If one team is present at the scheduled match time, and their opponent is not, the team that showed up will be awarded a forfeit win.
3. Teams must be online and available at least 15 minutes before the scheduled match time. At match time, you will log onto IRC (www.mirc.com) and join the channel “#newegg.support” on the channel irc.gamesurge.net network. Server assignments will also be posted in the My Matches section but to facilitate the large number of players in the tournament, it is strongly suggested that teams be on IRC during your scheduled match time. For help using mIRC please see item #10 below.

Any disputes that arrise because a player is thought to be on a team but not rostered wil be handled at the administrator's discresion. Any cheating disputes will require the uploading / linking of WeGame match video information and data.
9. If your opponent doesn’t show up at the scheduled match time, after a 15 minutes grace period you will need to report a forfeit win via the My Matches section.

Note: Deathstreak must be set to Copycat only.

It should also be noted that KillCam has been enabled in order to better aid in cheating disputes. We understand it has the potential to reveal an opponent’s position, but we feel the pace and game modes of COD: MW2 (PC), as outlined in this tournament, do not grant a player much opportunity to camp or remain stagnant for any extended period of time in-game.
