| New Ladder Systems! - New Ladders Hosted!
Since 2001 we have been providing quality competition for the tactical
gamers! We are proud to announce the next upgrade and phase in raising
the standard for online competition.
http://www.thecombatzone.net
We have converted the entire user database away from NUKE into a fully
customized site thats truly cutting edge. All 21,000+ user are on the
new site!
If you already have an account you simply need to go to the main site
and put in a password request. This will reset your password and allow
you to login and update your profile. We request new information to
better enhance your time on the site. Some is required (user name and
e-mail) and some is optional.
If you dont have an account we look forward to having you sign up and
getting in the mix!
"My Profile" information does ask for name, address, phone number,
etc... THIS IS NOT required to participate on the site. It is however
used for prizes and tournament swag. If you are not comfortable adding
this kind of information thats fine. Put in what you are comfortable
putting in. Feel free to view our TOS and Privacy Policy. Any
questions feel free to ask.
We have two types of ladders. Scheduled and the old school Pick Up
(Original TCZ Since 2001). Scheduled is a cut and dry no non-sense
answer to competition. All challenges are mandatory. When you challenge
the opposing team MUST accept the match in 48 hours or an automatic win
will be placed on your behalf. No admin input. Every hour the site
checks for overdue challenges and processes them.
Pick Up Ladder - No penalty for NOT completing a challenge. This is at
will matching. Match as often or as little as you want.
Scheduled Ladder - 48 Hours to accept match via the web site. Failure
will issue a win to the challenger. No exceptions. Failure to complete
a match in 7 days will issue a win to the challenger unless a dispute
is issued. This is all automatic. No admin involvement unless a dispute
is issued. Ifyou compete on this ladder. You are bound to start a match
between the hours of 7PM - 11PM EST (With respect to the comparable
Euro Ladders) on the date you accepted the match on. No canceling of
the match.
This ladder type also issues the maps to be played so you only need to
pick the date and time... you will already know what to practice for
and what sides you will have! Really puts the focus back to team work
and the teams that practice will reap the benefits.
Tournaments and Leagues coming soon!
Top 10 - You can not on either ladder type go inactive in the Top 10
and you are required to match every week while in the Top 10. We have a
system in place to enforce this.
Challenge System - When you challenge a player or team an e-mail is
sent and both team / player pages are updated with the challenge
information. You need to respond via your page. If its a scheduled
ladder the challenge will contain two dates to choose from and the
option to accept on in response. If its a pick up ladder it will not
have any dates only the comments about the match from the challenger.
When you accept the match challenge it again updates both pages and
sends out an acceptance e-mail to ALL the players on the roster for
that game. If its scheduled it will also contain the maps to be used
for the match.
Ranking System - You advance 100% if the opponent is 10 or less spaces
from you. You advance 50% for anything greater. Must be in the Top 10
to compete and take 1st place.
Point System - Uh there is none... all gone!
New Ladders for the New Site: Counter-Strike Source, Counter-Strike
1.6, SWAT 4, America's Army, Battlefield 2, Xbox, and of course we
still carry Ghost Recon and Raven Shield among others!
