European Infantry Cup - Season 5 - Rules

[John Price]

Same result, no matter how you word it.

[John Price]

After putting it into practice, we will now be lowering the camp timer down from 10 to 7 minutes.

[John Price]

If you would like to discuss rules or suggest any, then post here.

Just a suggestion, camp timer down to 2 mins or 1 min(if its clear both sides are camping, why wait 7 minutes per round when both clearly want the order to get closer), I also still like the idea behind an ammo limit(5) and custom maps.

I understand that the ammo limit is the most controversial of those 3 suggestions, but it would be nice to see if the organizers are willing to let the participating reg leaders at least vote for a vastly reduced camp timer or fair, custom maps - I believe it would help with increased reg interest/sign ups.

Unfortunately with the way the rules are currently the 33rd wouldn't enjoy participating.

Sounds good to me

Ammo limit eliminates the need for all other subjective rules, definitely my favourite and a must-have.

Would you guys be willing, during the meeting to discuss rule changes (happens every season) that we put a vote to all leaders:

a) Putting the camp timer down to 5 minutes (in line with Season 1)
b) Putting a 10 shot ammo limit in place

We have already talked about these before but didn't want to impliment it to late into the start of season 2. I think 10 shots is the most versatile.

EDIT: Just to add, I think its one or the other. I don't think both are needed.

A 10 shot limit is a bit much. I think something between 5 and 7 should be fine. And a camp timer of 5 mins is also good to have as the maximum a match can take with that is a bit more than one hour

[John Price]

Yeah I mean if its what all the leaders want then myself and Gi don't mind discussing it with you all and implementing.

Obviously need to be fair and get the thoughts of all leaders before changing though

@Spoons would you guys be willing to sign up in this case?

[Señor Noel]

i think a 5 shot limit is a bit too low and 10 too high. So i guess 7 or 8 might be the best.

Fire In Charge Once the officer begins to charge, the rest of the regiment must follow. (2-3 second grace period)

New rule ? I didn't see this rule last season

[Spoons]

yea we would but the camp timer was also a really big thing for us last time, even 5 mins is 50 mins standing around per match not playing the game for no real reason, more than half the matches ending being an hour and a half for us at least, or we could just charge the other team out of boredom and lose that way - if neither team is shooting and both sitting behind a hill not moving then a 1 or 2 min warning should be enough

[John Price]

Well by the way it looks it should be a 5 minute camp timer with 7 or 8 shots per man. Personally I think the camp timer shouldn't go any lower than this as you are just taking all the power away from leaders. 5 minutes isn't that long when you consider the latter.

[Spoons]

aight - probably not for us this time around then

[John Price]

With respect it will never be your time.

Its a 1v1 tournament, if teams are expected to charge within a minute or two we may as well host a Groupfight.
