changedTentative CTFDL Important Dates:Discord (CTF Server) will be required (excluding the use of mics) to participate.
addedTentative CTFDL Important Dates:Once you are registered, you can be selected by any captain at any point in the draft. If you refuse to participate on a team, you were picked on, or you intentionally throw/troll, or your refuse to cooperate with your team or team captain, you will be ineligible from participating in future CTFDLs. Additionally, if you register for CTFDL, you are expected to exhibit due diligence with your participation, attendance, effort, teamwork, and communication.
changedTentative CTFDL Important Dates:ALL players that register will be picked to a team. Picking will continue until all registered players have been selected. Therefore, many new players, new CTF players, or new to organized play players will be spread out across all teams. It does not benefit new players to auto-bench them or refuse to allow them the opportunity to play/contribute. Additionally, it DOES help new players when seasoned players work with them, help them, teach them, and mentor them.
addedTentative CTFDL Important Dates:Substitute players (or “NTs”) are allowed. No more than 2 NTs can be used by a team per match. NT player selections will be drafted snake style (ex: 1-2-1 if both teams are using 2 NTs). “Home” team or higher seeded team gets first NT pick. A NT player cannot be on another CTFDL team. If an NT player refuses to play on a team, they will be ineligible to NT for the remainder of the -CTFDL season. A player may not NT for more than one team per week. NT players may only be used if there are not enough team players online and available (ie: you cannot use an NT player to replace a lesser experienced player on your team).
addedTentative CTFDL Important Dates:Additional rules/procedures will be added.

CTF - Twin Peaks 2016

Features

  • Jackpots are back! When you win, you will now get points, cash, and experience based on your contribution. This should help those of you trying to achieve that coveted Storm Lord rank.

  • Bonus Points in stats are now populated from Jackpots.

Moderation Changes
