Do not contact the staff inquiring about the status of a ticket / application or risk your team losing XP.

All admin decisions are final. If you would like your case looked into again due to new evidence, feel free to submit another ticket, but doing so without additional evidence is just argumentative and you risk losing XP.

Our goal here at Consolegaming is to provide PS3 gamers with a place to find fun and competitive matches. In order to accomplish this goal, we will not tolerate players or teams with an unsportsmanlike demeanour attempting to destroy the friendly atmosphere we are trying to create. Violators of this rule will be dealt with accordingly.

This ladder is limited to 40 players per team.

No XP will be awarded for playing a team 10 levels above or below the level of your team.

Staff abuse will not be tolerated in any form, be it messaging, forums, or tickets. Situations such as this will be handled on a case-by-case basis.

Verbally abusing other teams and or players is unacceptable. This includes but not limited to the use of foul or degrading language on this ladder. If you are unable to be respectful to any player, team or Consolegaming staff, you and or your team risk warnings up to removal from this ladder.

If a challenge is accepted and a map specified cant hold the amount of members specified

Ex. 20 v 20 and randomizer gives The Mall (32p). The teams will have to be scaled down to the correct number of players for that map. Teams that are unhappy with this can contact a referee or admin, and attempt to change the map. Both teams must agree, and this process has to take place AT LEAST 24hours in advance of the challenge.
If a referee or admin is not contacted within 24hours, teams will be forced to be scaled down

When making the clan room, it is the responsibility of the room creator to invite

his/her own team to the room. The creator must also invite 1 member from the opposing team, so that person can then invite his/her own clan to the room

It is the team’s prerogative to get disconnected players back into the game room. The match continues no matter the player situation, unless half of the team has been disconnected.

The challenging team creates the room, and hosts the first map, however many rounds that takes. The challenged team then hosts the second map, and however many rounds that takes. So on and so forth.

All matches must be played in their entirety unless both teams agree to postpone the match or remove the challenge. If agreed, both teams must submit a ticket requesting the postponement or challenge removal. A referee can be contacted to witness the agreement details.

A clan match will consist of at least 8, but no more than 20 players on each team. Unless a specific team setup was specified in the challenge details, it is up to the teams to decide the team setup before the match. If both teams cannot agree upon a team setup, 8v8 will be used as the default.

All matches are to be Unranked Private Matches, This is because Ranked Matches do not allow invites to allow people to join.

Failure to show for a scheduled and accepted match will result in a forfeit. Forfeits will only be awarded if you have an accepted challenge.

Do not IM the staff inquiring about the status of a ticket or risk your team losing XP. We receive many tickets from our users, and they are handled in the order they are received. Admins decisions are final.

When submitting a ticket, fill out all applicable fields. Submitting an incomplete or incorrect ticket will simply be closed without being processed.

Tickets that are submitted that prove to have false information are subject to clan deletion and removal from the ladder. Lengths of bans will be determined on a case by case basis.

When submitting a ticket to have challenges removed, list all challenge ID Numbers that need to be removed in one ticket. Please don’t send a ticket for each challenge when requesting multiple challenges to be removed, put all the information in one ticket.

We have a ZERO tolerance policy for cheating here at Consolegaming. Greedy teams who come here to cheat the ladder system in ANY way will be IMMEDIATELY removed from the ladder and banned from the website.

"Glitching" and abusing the In-Game mechanics in ANY way is not tolerated. Our goal is to give the online gaming community a place to compete with others and we will not allow cheaters to get in the way of that goal.

If you witness your opponents taking advantage of the game mechanics in ANY way please gather as much evidence as possible (i.e. recording equipment and/or referee) and then submit that in a ticket and we will then assess it. If you are unable to submit any proof please still submit a ticket so that it can be kept on record and we will be able to look this up for any future/past complaints against this clan.

If your team receives a win that wasn’t earned or played, submit a ticket to have it removed. Failure to do so may result in your team being deleted and/or banned.

If you give out free wins to other teams you are subject to have your account deleted and/or banned.

If a team is found to be glitching or cheating in a match they will lose the match, have their account deleted and be possibly banned from the consolegaming.eu website. Bans will be decided on a case-to-case basis.

If you think a team is abusing the rules, you must provide valid proof or contact a referee to come and witness their abuse. Administrators will then look into the case and determine the punishment on a case-to-case basis. Accusations with no proof will not be tolerated and may result in handing out warnings.

If you have any problems during a match, you may contact a referee by msn him to answer any questions you may have. Please contact a referee first as this is their job. Only contact an Admin if unable to get a response from any Referees.

If you anticipate referees will be needed for a clan match, you must request them 48 hours in advance of a scheduled and accepted match in the match scheduler. Only request a referee if you have had issues with a team in the past, and only if you truly believe there will be a problem in the match that would require the referee's assistance. If this is the case, submit a ticket under the "Referee Problem" heading. In the ticket, please include a short description of why you think the referee will be needed, and the accepted challenge ID #. After we receive your ticket, we will respond to it with the contact information of the referees assigned to your match. Referees in a match will have sole authority over how disputes are handled. The referee will be making the room to ensure no outside users are able to join the spectators.

If referees are called into a battle for any reason, all players will keep the referees un-muted at all times. The referee's may mute players at their discretion. Referees may call out a players name at any time and the player must respond within a reasonable time in order to verify they do not have the referee muted.

Warnings are given out per incident, for the reasons listed above. Warning consequences are as follows:







First Warning - Deduction of 50xp.

Second Warning - Deduction of 100xp.

Third Warning – Suspension/deletion of account and deduction of 150xp







Failure to report a loss, and not responding to a 24 hour no report email, or sending a valid ticket explaining why you didn’t report: 1 month ban and loss of account.

Lying to an admin about the outcome of a match: month ban and loss of account.

Glitching/cheating – This is determined on a case-to-case basis and can range from a verbal warning to a lifetime ban.

Staff abuse – This will NOT be tolerated, any form of staff abuse; on any messaging service, XMB, IM, MSN, the forums, or in tickets will not be tolerated. Anyone caught abusing staff is subject to a ban of any length, depending on the situation which will be handled on a case-to-case basis
