Winter 2010 Closing Procedures
The following outlines the policies and procedures that apply to all non Pro Circuit, EASC, and sponsored non seasonal ladders on GameBattles. It is very important that you read and understand the following if you are planning to participate in the upcoming season and/or the current Winter 2010 season playoffs.

The Winter Season 2010 ends on March 31st, 2010 at 9:00PM EST. Shortly thereafter, the Spring Season 2010 will be launched site wide and you will immediately be able to play in the new season. All of your team's historical stats, roster and information carries over. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO CREATE A NEW TEAM. However, you will still need to enroll your team in the new season.

For those interested in the playoffs:
  • The Official Roster Lock Date is Monday, March 15th, 2009 at 9:00 PM EST.
  • Roster changes including invites, gamertag and role changes will be prohibited, NO EXCEPTIONS, after this time.
  • Any player that is updated after the Roster Lock Date is ineligible for playoffs.
  • Your team must have played a minimum of 5 matches in the month of March to be eligible for Playoffs.
  • Minimum roster sizes per Ladder for your arena are posted below.
  • Teams created after the Roster Lock Date are not affected; however, they are also ineligible for playoffs.
  • Playoff Bracket sizes are also posted below.
Note: Playoffs are being ran on the main ladder of each game only and some doubles ladders. Meaning, team based games such as Call of Duty will receive a playoff for the Team Ladders. If you are a participant on a ladder that is not considered the main ladder for the game you play on or one of the few doubles ladders, the first place team at the end of the season will be considered the season champion and will receive an achievement.

Within the next 15 days, we will be releasing Playoff Rules and Settings along with Gametypes that will be used in Playoff Matches. Each playoff round will have predetermined gametypes that each team will have to play. Those specific gametypes will be released prior to the end of the season.

The bracket sizes and minimum number of required players, in detail, can be found here. If your team does not meet these requirements, your team will not be eligible to be seeded into the Playoff Brackets.

If teams cannot agree on the number of players in a match, the minimum number of required players will be used.

Remember, there are only limited playoff spots available, so get your final roster together and start battling!

Call of Duty 4 Ladder Update

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare News

Welcome to another Call of Duty 4 Summer Season update!

Welcome to another Call of Duty 4 Summer Season update! Here we are at last -- back in playoff mode! The post season starts in just two days, and the Top 64 teams will battle it out in a win-or-go-home Playoff Tournament! With Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 on the horizon, this could be one of the last meaningful seasons on Call of Duty 4. Who will get their names in the history book?

EnVyUs is certainly on the right track to doing just that, sitting in first place with a record of 132 wins and 8 losses. After winning the Spring 2009 Season Championship, EnVyUs has proven they have what it takes to repeat. The only thing standing between them and a #1 seed -- their activity level. If EnVyUs doesn't get a match in over the next few days, they're in danger of not qualifying for the post season. Meanwhile, #2 ranked BK and the Randies are in good shape as well. They've won 114 matches and lost only 3, and have a lead of nearly 200 XP over 3rd place Team Violent Apprehension (115-4). And just 70 XP behind them sits team Xpectations, who have gone 102-5 this season. Even #5 ranked FaZeD is less than 100 XP behind Violent Apprehension. It's really a crap shoot going down the stretch: BK and the Randies, Violent Apprehension, Xpectations, and FaZeD are essentially battling for the #2-5 seeds -- unless, of course, EnVyUs doesn't qualify, in which case the #1 seed will be on the line as well.

A few things to keep in mind as the season wraps up: Team FeaR is a veteran Call of Duty squad and has been to the playoffs several times before. They dominated just about everyone they played this season, now with a 98-1 record. The regular season has become a formality for them, and you can expect them to step up their game for the playoffs, even if they're not a Top 5 seed. ZeRo is another team that can't be overlooked. They're 94-5 and spent much of the season in or near the Top 5. Fully Loaded Gaming, it appears, will make the playoffs. Their 189 wins will be the most in the playoffs, because Friends or Enemies, winners of 236 matches, are likely going to miss the cut.

That's about all there is to say for this week's update. It's been a great season, and a ton of teams have played well, but nothing beats the playoff atmosphere. Your whole season depends on the next game you play. Will it all pay off, or go down as a waste of time? Check back in a couple weeks and we'll get you updated on the first few rounds of the playoff tournament!
