General Rules


1. No shows, If your opponents do not show up to the match, after 15mins of when the match was due to start, take a picture of the scoreboard as normal, and have the time / date display on the picture. Then forward this onto an admin when you conflict the match, we can then award you a default win for that game.

2. Any attempt to impersonate a devotii admin/ref will result in a permanent site ban.

3. All times should be treated as UK (GMT/UTC/CET-1/CEST-1) times unless otherwise stated in the challenge.

Scoring / Points


The points system works like the following...

Win = 3 Ladder Points

Draw = 1 Ladder Point

Loss = -1 Ladder Point

Enter results a 1 for a win and 0 for a loss.

Example... In a Team Slayer match the final score is: Team A 50 - 40 Team B

Team A won so the score should be entered as Team A 1 - 0 Team B

Challenging Guidelines


When making a challenge, you should always put in the "match notes" section the settings / rules you wish to use.

Example... If you made a challenge you would also put in the match notes, the following info...

Team Slayer
4v4 or 2v2
First to 50 or 25

You can select the map in the drop down box when making the challenge.

These settings can be changed to whatever you would like to use.

Once a match is accepted, the Challenger must send the Challenged an Xbox Live Friends Request before the match is due to start. (The sooner you do this the better, we recommend 24 hours before the match)


You can also make an "Open Challenge"

This means you can make a challenge for a certain ladder, and anyone in that ladder can accept it!

You no longer have to challenge certain teams if you don't want to, Open Challenging will allow you to put a challenge out to everyone!

To make an Open Challenge, you need to view the ladder you wish to make a challenge for, then click "view the open challenges". Once on the next page you can now "create your own!" and follow the steps shown to make an Open Challenge.

Lag Test & Player Disconnections


 A "Lag Test" must be completed prior to starting the match. This is a test round that doesn't count and uses the standard game settings that will be used during the match. If the host lags during this test, both teams should attempt to resolve another host regardless of what is specified in the challenge notes. If an acceptable host can’t be found by either team, the options are as follows:


• Both teams can arrange another time for the match to be played, when a suitable host will be online.

• Both teams request the match be deleted.

• Each team must drop 1 player and redo the lag test. This is repeated until there are no lag issues.

If a player drops during the live game, the match wont be restarted, the team whos player dropped will lose.
