Arranging matches
War arrangers are responsible for getting the fixture played within the game week at a time that is mutually convenient for both Teams.
War arrangers must be able to offer at least two nights during the League Match week for the fixture to be played.
It is expected that Home team War arrangers will attempt to arrange fixtures at least a week in advance of the fixture to allow both teams a chance to prepare.
It is inconsiderate and disrespectful to your opposition to ignore communications and delay their arrangements this includes supplying your opponents with details of numbers and the map to be played.
If a Clan/Teams WA needs to postpone a match, notice must be given as soon as possible to the opposing Clan's war arranger with good reasons.
Both teams should do their best to get the fixture played before that game week ends.
Match information
All the information for the match should be supplied to your opposition at least four days before the start time of the match(unless both teams agree to a short notice
arrangement).
Example:-
Season 4 TDM - week 1
[GMB] -v- [Osiris]
Maps = Strike and Crash
Teams = 5 v 5
Start time = 8pm
Date = Friday 9th January
Server IP = 12345678:3456
Match Password = abcde
Away Team War Arranger may instigate first contact with the Home Team WA to arrange the Match
Failure to arrange a Fixture within the correct League Match week or abide by the above guidelines may result in a Default Win awarded to your opposition.
Please retain/record any correspondence with your opposition until after the Match has been played.In case they are requested by a CoD League Admin
If any fixture is not arranged within the correct League Match week. - A full explanation of why the match was not arranged must be sent to the
Division Admin before the end of the current League Match week.

Substitutions

Banned Players
- Any player who is on the PsB MBL for any game is banned for life from Codleague
- Any player who is on the PBBans MBL for any game is banned for life from Codleague
- All Codleague bans are here
Banned Players
- We urge all clan admins to do a /rcon status either in game or from a rcon tool & if needed get a screenshot (in game, with the console fully open, type /screenshotjpeg), this way if needed the admins can check on players with a linked banned guid
- With the new tools at our disposal, we can check whether a player has had more than 1 guid for any particular game, what dates he played with a certain guid & what ip's the player played with at a particular time
so the long and the short of it is
DONT CHEAT WE WILL CATCH YOU
Player on punksbusted and the pb bans list - additional info
Q1. What should a clan do if they find out that one of their members has hacked?
A. It is down to the particular clans discretion as to how to proceed when finding a member that has cheated, dependent on what rules they have in place to deal with such scenarios.
As in the majority of cases, clans are against cheats and generally have their own set of rules stating that members will be removed if such an event occurs.
Q2. What is the benefit to a clan if they admit that a team member has hacked and confess openly?
A. Reputation, respect and credibility are of the utmost importance and can be considered three of the most basic fundamentals in creating any clan. A clan can not be blamed for the actions of one person in the majority of circumstances.
The majority of clans do not have issues by way of removing the offending person and this is done to protect their clans reputation. This sends out a clear message that your clan do not approve of players that use other files for their own personal gains and protects your own clan members who play by the rules.
Q3. What should be the punishment if a hacker has played for a clan in a cl match?
A. The date a member is caught is the only information the admins have at hand. As such all matches that have been played from that date will be considered void if the member who hacked has been seen to be playing in matches since the ban was issued.
This rule will also come into force. Should the offending member create a new name and new guid to play with the same clan, the whole clan will be removed and default wins awarded to the opposing clans.
Q4. What should be the punishment if they are caught before they play in a cl match?
A. CoD League has no jurisdiction if someone caught cheating has not played in a CL match and as such cannot impose punishments. Again this is an issue that should be resolved with the clan involved, after all it is your reputation you are defending. CoD League is not responsible for the outcome of your decisions, you are!
Q5. What do we do if a clan leader has been found hacking?
A. Unfortunately this does happen and is one of the very few times where the actions of a clan to allow their clan leader to continue have to be taken into consideration. It is not the duty of CoDLeague to fight for your reputation, neither is it fair to expect us to.
If any clan leader is caught hacking within CoDLeague the whole clan will be removed.
(This decision is only open to appeal and should be directed to one of our Head Admins should the clan leader be removed from the clan and a new leader named).
Q6. Does a player on punksbusted and the pb bans list have to clear his name with both before he is allowed back or just one?
A. As PsB is CoDLeague's choice of streaming anti cheat program and in the event of your name being cleared by PsB then players may be admitted to play in further CL matches.
If clans do use more than one streaming program on their CL match servers and have any issues with a player being banned whilst in a match, please contact one of the admins asap.
