In order to sign up, teams or players will have to meet the join restrictions. The most important is that at least 60% of the team lives in the Benelux (belgium, netherlands and luxembourg) and that everyone who is going to play has entered a valid gameaccount (COD4 pbGUID) on his profile. This counts for both signing up your team and match participation. After you signed up for a EAS one of the admins will validate your team and either accept or reject you in the EAS.

Arrange a server for the match as soon as possible and start playing immediately upon match time. If there is a disagreement with regards to the server, both teams have the right to play one side/map at their server. Failure to appear on the match server within 15 minutes will result in a forfeit win for the team that is fully present on the server. Certain match constellations are permitted, for this we refer you to section 9.1.4. of the global call of duty 4 rules.

During the match you must run aequitas. This is a special ESL anti-cheat tool designed for certain games including Call of Duty 4. This anti-cheat tool is a powerful tool for the admins and the community to catch cheaters. Make sure to enable this before the match starts.

All players are required to make an in-eye demo. This can be started by typing /record in the console. These demo's can be requested after the match with a valid reason, for information about this take a look in section 9.4. of the global rules. Also certain screenshots must be made, these will be described in the match media section of this ruleset.

In order to chose side there will be a knife round. The winner of the knife round has the right to chose the side on which they want to start. During the knife round you may not hit your opponent with anything else than a knife. Also the use of special grenades is not allowed.

The match will be played until one of the teams has reached the majority of rounds possible. In case of one map MR12 you need 13 rounds to win the match. In case of a 12-12 score this result will be entered as a draw. When 13 points are reached the team that has 13 points wins the match. A valid score for example is 13-5 or 12-12.

After the match it is important that you enter the score as soon as possible. One of the teams has to enter it after which the other has to accept it. We strongly encourage the losing team to accept the score to save work for the admins. While entering the score all matchmedia must be uploaded. Failure to do so will result into penalty points and missing aequitas anti-cheat will result in penalty points and a forfeit win for the opponent. If there are problems with aequitas which results in you not being able to use it, this must be said and proven to one of the admins before the match starts. It is strongly forbidden to do attempts to manipulate your aequitas file in any way whatsoever.

In case of a match conflict or a no-show a protest must be filed as soon as possible. An admin will then resolve the conflict or will grant a default win in case of a no show.

Each week there will be a match scheduled for sunday 20:00. This match is mandatory and has to be played, failure to do so will lead to a default win for the opponent. This match however can be replaced. If a team didn't play any matches for the past 7 days or has no open matches, a match will be generated for them. However this match is, unlike the sunday 20:00 match, a suggestion and may be declinded by either of the teams without consequences.
