Hosting
All Blue teams are reponsible to provide the server. Hosting must as default be done on a neutral host. Ping to the server should be less than 400ms to 75% off the playing members. Neutral host is stated as: For matches as non playing (option serve only). So server can be a member of one of the squads, but may not play in that specific match. For Championship match it is stated as a host which isnt member of the squads who are playing the match. The neutral host must be provided by the Blue team if possible. Server has to be online 15 minutes before start. Until match starts, both squads can test the server for ping and settings. If a team refuse to play on a server, because of a good reason (high ping), that squad has to provide a better server. When u agree with the server, and start playing, u cant request another server. These default rules in anycase can be overwritten if both squads agree.

General rules still applie above
All contacts must co-ordinate the time and date with their opponent. When the match starts or time delay of your tournament match starts, all communication between opposing Squad must stop. This means every member. The Server Host should not talk to either squads, teams or players after match begins unless spoken to by the CO of either Squad Commander between maps. The same goes for all mp's if used. If there are any problems that need to be addressed concerning your match, email the situation in detail so the entire staff can review in the most unbiased manner before taking the decission to council. After the match has been played, email the results immediately so that we can make sure that the right squad, team or player gets advanced. You will be allotted one month to get your matches played. if you fail to except and confirm the challenge of your event for any reason or run into any problems with your match post your reasons in the match forum , the Tom Jones staff will most likely vote in favor of those who followed the contact rules. You must try at least 3 times to contact your opponent on the forums, email & ICQ throughout the the time allotted and check it daily for a reply . The first contact should be within the first 48 hours of the round. Confirmation should be made within the first 72 hours of your round start dates. We will not grant an extension if you wait to schedule and confirm two days before the deadline. Extensions will not be given out unless there is a very good reason. Once you have made contact, scheduled and confirmed , you will only have 15 minutes to get your players in the server and ready to play. The match must be scheduled and confirmed for this rule to protect either squad. You may reschedule at any time but this does not mean an extension will be granted All servers must be dedicated and all blue brackets are responsible for suppling server. again all general rules still applie above.
