    EASGCCS Guidelines

    In an effort to make the EA Sports Game Changers Championship Series enjoyable for all we ask that you follow the two basic rules and the simple guidelines that are stated below. The guidelines are just that; guidelines. By following the two rules and the guidelines outlined below, it will help assures that everyone participating will enjoy themselves. Please remember that this is a fun online competition. No glitching allowed.


    Rules

    1. Respect Your Opponent
    2. No quitting during a game.


    Guidelines

    Disconnections

    We know that disconnections are not uncommon during online video game play. We strongly encourage players to finish their game, in the event of a disconnection, by starting a new game, keeping the same score and playing out the remaining time, until an absolute winner is established. If for some reason one person is unable to reconnect, because of a power failure or something outside their own control there is no obligation to finish the game.


    Feedback

    After each match has been completed, when reporting the winner, it is mandatory to leave feedback for your opponent. Your feedback left should be based on the overall experience you had with your opponent, not if you win or lose. This user feedback system will help the community be aware of any cheaters or foul play. When leaving feedback, you have the following options:

    Postive +1 Rating
    Neutral Rating stays the same
    Negative -1 Rating


    The initial competition will last for four weeks and the winner at that time will receive a copy of Madden NFL 11.

      Exact dates would be extremely helpful. I'm trying to play as much as possible, but if I had an exact date that the regular season ends so I know how much time I have to move up, that would be great. I just hope it's after this weekend when I'll finally have some time to get a good many games in.

      I will talk to Shop later tonight and see if maybe we can add a day or two on to help out. No custom lobbies has really hurt getting games in.

      I have most of the main players on my friend's list, so that isn't really a problem for me aside from playing the same 5 or 6 guys over and over. It definitely would be nice for them to get that fixed, though, considering it's been down since release week.

      Yeah I've just been really busy with OD's and projects that I haven't gotten a game in, going to try to get a few in next week...

      The Bowl Match-Ups have been announced:

      PS3 - 360

      Losing the Custom Rooms lobby as well as connection issues hurt a lot, but we appreciate the guys who were able to get lots of games in. We are discussing another competition a few weeks/months down the line when hopefully these issues will be long removed.

      Congrats guys! I completely gave up on this when the created rooms went down. Not that I had a shot at a Bowl Game.

      I quit in the middle of my bowl game.

      Not only did I get screwed out of the championship game, IMO, but then I lose 3 fumbles in 3 quarters. Had fun in the tournament, and that's the first game I quit all year(nothing against my opponent at all), I just physically can not complete another game of NCAA '11.
