I'm thinking there will be too many glitches to include it but they have till the middle of May to figure that out.
Left 4 dead is definitely going to be a interesting game to judge and lay down the rules....what happens if a tank hits someone and it glitches them, etc. But L4D is one game that needs to be included in the competitive gaming world and I'm looking forward to it!
Thanks for supporting Left 4 Dead CEVO!

E. Being in a position that is not reachable by regular zombies as a survivor is illegal.
F. Camping anywhere the infected cannot attack you is illegal.
Does this include behind the bed no No Mercy 4? The list of illegal spots is kind of short...

Tomw: You have to have each of them come to cevo.com individually, register an account, and then have them sign up. They will need the team name and the teams join password to do so. Make sure they also enter their Steam ID under their account as well or they won't be set to "ready." To enter your Steam ID you're going to log into your account. Then at the top of the website you'll see "Search" in the right hand corner, to the left of that you'll see "logged in as: username [my account]" My account is in blue letters. Click on "my account." This is going to bring up a new page. You're going to click on "my account" again BUT it's located in a different place because it's a different "my account" link. This one is located between "matches" and "join event". This will bring down a drop-down menu. You're going to select "Unique Game ID's". This will bring up a whole list of games and fields for you to fill out. The only one you need to worry about is the L4D field (it's all the way at the bottom of the list). Make sure you watch how you entire the Steam ID. (Hope this isn't too confusing!)
pixeL`: When they say private server they mean one that has been purchased, not run locally. If you go to somewhere like gameservers.com, those type of servers. If your team doesn't have one, try borrowing from a friend. Make sure you know what server you're going to be using WAY ahead of the match and have a back up just in case.
Kiester: Not a stupid question! So to register for the event, with your team, you're going to log in (of course) and then at the top of the website you'll see "Search" in the right hand corner, to the left of that you'll see "logged in as: username [my account]" My account is in blue letters. Click on "my account." This is going to bring up a new page. Look for the link called "Create a Team". Now if you are trying to JOIN a team you would click "Join a Roster". Then you'd find the team and enter the join password.
Hope this is all more helpful than confusing! =)

It is a bit confusing that its call the "Left4Dead Survival Tournament" .
Since the new L4D Survival Pack came out with the gametype "Survival". I see that its 4v4 so I can only guess its Versus because I dont see it actually listed as Versus.
Am I correct in assuming its Versus and not Survival?

Each player must go into My Account > My Account (pulldown) > Unique Game IDs and add your steamid under L4D. This will make you 'ready.'
When your team has four players ready, your team will be marked as 'ready' for the tournament.

It's the say of the first match, and I don't know what team my team is up against, and what time this match is going to have to start. I don't even know if the other team we're up against as their own server! Praying that they do because we've had difficulty configuring our one so we've gotten rid of it.
What the hell is going on?

Read the updated news for the tourney fellaz, it states as follows.
This is a quick announcement for all Left 4 Dead teams. Due to the overwhelming sign ups for CEVO's first ever Left 4 Dead event, the tournament will be group play format instead of double elimination playoffs.
What does this mean for you and your team?
* More guaranteed matches
* Not having to wait around after two losses for our next event
* After group play the best teams from each group will get a shot at playoffs
Groups and scheduled will be released on Monday night, with matches beginning on Thursday, so make sure if you're wanting to participate in that you get four on your roster before Monday night!
Also, don't forget to add your Steam ID's to your account!
