A different Server may be used if this server is full or having any issue.
If this happens it is the Clan Reps from each clan responsibility to insure that both teams are made aware of this change.

In the 8v8 Demo section of the forums there will be a Schedule and Standings section that the EST Staff will keep updated during the 8v8 Demo. This will be updated after all matches are reported and confirmed by each clan Rep.

-REPORTING MATCHES-

It is the responsibility of the CLAN REP to insure that he or she reports there win or confirms a loss in the REPORT WIN/LOSS section of the forums. Each Clan REP has 24 hours after your match to post in the REPORT WIN/LOSS Section of the forums. Failure to do so may result in a forfeit of your match

AN Example of how you are to post your wins or confirm your loss will be posted in this section of the forums. Make sure that as the Clan Rep you use this EXAMPLE to post your clans results. Failure to do so may have your post deleted and a loss given to your clan.

- ROSTERS ?

- Upon being selected as a participating clan all clans MUST submit a 1-roster list of NO LESS than 12 players with no more than 32 players. This is to ensure that all clans, no matter how large or small, compete on an even playing level in regards to available members. All eligible players must sporting the exact same clan tag in wars and that they are on the legal roster submitted to the EST. Players not found on a clan's official roster list are not allowed to participating in a EST Tournament.

-All clans participating in the EST site may only submit one name per player on their active rosters. Any Clan using more than one name per person will be considered a Ringer name and if used or added onto your roster will cause your clan to be removed from the Elite Socom Tournament Site.

Example: On clan the Socom Raiders JoeJoe has another name he uses that is Spanky. Only One of these names can be used on the active tourney Roster.

-Additionally, Clans with Multiple Rosters must have the same Clan NAME. Of course the spelling will not be EXACT, but has to be close enough so it is obvious it IS the same clan.

Example: Clan Battlefield has 3 rosters: BattLefieLd, BattIefieLd, and BattLefieId. This is acceptable. Clan Battlefield with 3 rosters: Battlefield, Regulators, and the Bombers is NOT acceptable.

-Correct spelling is needed on all rosters EXAMPLE: If your players name is L-E-F-T-Y his name must appear that way on your roster. If in a match Lefty comes in the room that name will not be accepted.

-Rosters can only be open to add or remove players Friday thru Monday by The CLAN REPS! Any Rosters updated by anyone that is not an ADMIN, EST STAFF or CLAN REP will have that weeks roster listed as a non-roster and will not be able to war that week.
- Any roster update made Tuesday thru Thursday can only be made by a EST Staff member and must have a reason posted with the change made.

It is the CLAN REPS responsibility to insure the room is made correctly and all players names are on the active clans roster. If both teams green up and start the match then it is played as is and said map is determined agreed upon by both teams. The illegal player can be changed after the map is over. Tourney rules still apply.

If your team aborts a match without the okay from an official EST REF then said team forfeits that map.

If your caught with an Illegal player by an official EST REF your team will receive a loss of round for each round said player is in the match.

8. SUBBING: Teams have 5 minutes in between maps to sub out players! This means the team you start a map with is the team you finish that map with. If a player gets booted he/she is the only one that may come back in. If another player from your roster comes in and plays you will forfeit that entire Map.

Under certain circumstances, where a particular map is extremely laggy. Clan reps can message each other to make a mutual decision to remake the room. The round count must begin where it ended in the last map so remaking the room twice over is what must happen.

Once both teams green up and the game starts they are both under agreement with the room and the match will progress. The only way it can be stopped is under extreme lag conditions or if it is stopped in the first round because the map was to be a night or day map and was accidentally made wrong.

AFTER the match, the two 8v8 Demo team Leaders have 15 minutes to discuss the match with the Ref if needed. The winning clan for your match will then report the win/loss and results will be reflected in the tournament bracket updates.
