Another season is over. SAIL has just completed it's fifth season with the completion last night of the two division Grand Finals.

 Division 1 was won by the highly tipped cLag side in a landslide victory that did nothing to enhance this game to anyone. They won both maps comfortably over a SAW side that was disappointing in only fielding five members for the match. Never threatened from start to finish the match meandered from start to finish with a small controversy the only thing to liven things up. Congrats to cLag on their win. As expected they are too good & too strong for anyone in this competition at the moment.

 Division 2 was won by sCr in only their second season. They have shown improvement since starting in SAIL & should ignore the knockers who continue to give them no credit. They won both maps over a struggling Resurgence who have hardly played the game recently. Resurgence also only fielded five for their first map but put up a much better effort on the second with six. sCr were just more determined to win this one. Congrats to sCR on a hard fought win.

 Unfortunately both division matches were a bit disappointing this season. Once agin congrats to both winners. Enjoy the break everyone.

With all preliminary matches played we now have the four teams that will contest the two division finals for Season V. In Division 1 cLag will battle it out with SAW while in Division 2 sCr will do battle with Resurgence.

The GF series is  a best of three series with each team selecting one map each for competition. If after playing these two maps ther is not an outright winner the teams progress to the third map which has been chosen by the TC's of the community. matches will be played on Sunday, May 16th with the decider map if needed played on the Monday night.

 Division 1 will be played at 8.30pm & 9.30pm on Sunday, May 16th. The decider if needed will be played on Monday at 9.00pm if needed.

cLag have selected Catania as their map. SAW have selected Solitude as their choice.

 Division 2 will be played at 6.30pm & 7.30pm on Sunday, May 16th. The decider if needed will be played on Monday at 8.00pm if needed.

sCr have selected Santos. Resurgence have selected Solitude.

 Welcome to the new home of the SAW Amateur Invite League. The move to this site was done so as to include the complete website, forum & competition sections on the one site. This also means one registration for all areas. For some yet to be explained reason some registrations do not carry over to the forum. I have not been able to replicate it on many test signups. If you are one of these people you will need to signup separately for the forum using the same details as you did for the main site. Permissions will then be set for your account. It is still a work in progress so please be patient. We are still testing out the site so please be patient with any problems found. Report any discrepancies to me via the forum for checking. Some sections allow "Comments" to be added. PLEASE DO NOT ABUSE this function!!!!!!!!!!

I have added some information for users on registering players & teams in the FAQ on the left as a guide. If any problems are found let me know or post on the Forum.

League Outline.

The SAW competition league will be run as a round robin tournament. All teams will play each other once followed by finals for the top 4 clans at season end. All maps used for the competition will be custom maps. When finals arrive clans will have voting rights on maps used during the season in the form of 3 2 & 1 for the maps to be used for the finals. The winning map will be used for the deciding Grand Final map,second map for Prelim & third map for Semis.

The servers will be running a rate limiting addon to try to enforce an even playing field for all teams as well as a number of Anti_cheat programs. Pistols will also be a feature for classes. STV will be available for all matches.

The aim of this competition is to forge a new beginning for DODS without the bad sportsmanship & abuse that was evident with previous competitions. The Game Ops will be extremely strict on any abuse etc from teams in this competition. It is recommended that teams refrain talking to the other team when playing matches except for basic courtesy in game.

We hope that everyone will enjoy their gaming experience under these new conditions.



Registering.

Player's names must comply with the SAW Code of Conduct. If in doubt ask first as all names that do not comply will be deleted from the player list.

Player's registered names must be the same as their in game name that is used. This is so that permissions can be set for players. The same name MUST be used for the main signup page, forum, in game & XRay. It must be distinguishable as the player.

The registered name must be used when on the Competition Server. No excuses accepted. Anyone in breach of this will be removed from the server.



XRAY. The Must Have Program!!!!!!!

All participants in SAIL must register & download XRay anti-cheat program. This must be run for all matches that all participants play in. Anyone found not to have run this program for their match will forfeit the concerned match. It is team leaders responsibility to ensure that all their members have this program.

This program is a bit like Novacap except each player has an individual login via email & password. It is started before you go into game & recognises when DODS is started & automatically takes screenshots for as long as you are in game. Once you finish playing & close down DODS you upload the screenshots to the XRay website where you or other members are able to view them. From here suspicious screenshots can be reported for further investigation. Individual members are grouped together by their clantag as well.
