- PARENTAL ADVISORY (PLAYERS UNDER AGE 17) -
"Call of Duty: Black Ops 4" is a Mature-rated video game.

This event will be all-ages; if a player under the age of 17 years old wishes to compete, a parent or legal guardian must be present at time of registration or pre-reg check-in on the day of the event to sign a permission form, granting their permission for their minor to participate in this event.

For safety and security reasons, permission forms will only be available at the door on the date of the event. Parents will not be required to stay for the duration of the event after completing this form.

- RULES AND FORMAT -
How To Win:
• For this event, you will play in Quads mode along with another team of two players, and compete to see which team can get more kills in rounds of Blackout.
• Teams must win 2 out of 3 three rounds to win the match and advance to the next round of the event.
• The combined amount of kills between each pair of teammates, compared to their opponents, will determine which team will win a single round. Clean-ups are not counted as kills, and do not contribute to your team's score.
• In the event that a single round ends with both teams having the same number of combined kills, the team that had more players alive for the longest period of time will be given the win for that round.
• In the event that both teams finish a round in 1st place with the same number of combined kills, the team with more players alive is given the win for that game. If both teams have both players alive in this scenario, the team who got the final kill wins the game for that round.
• Every round is unique, and kills do not carry over; if one duo wins with 13 combined kills, they do not keep those kills. Both duos reset to 0 kills for the new round.

Sabotage:
Sabotage is grounds for elimination. Do not do anything that interfere with the opposing duo or cause damage/death to them.
Examples of sabotage include but are not limited to:
• Deliberately damaging the opposing duo, or any of their deployed equipment, vehicles in use, etc.
• Obstructing the opposing duo through the use of equipment or vehicles (blocking doors with barricades/vehicles) or deliberately using equipment to interfere with their ability to get kills (concussions, smoke grenades, etc)
Any suspected sabotage will be taken seriously, and may be grounds for immediate elimination of your team.

Bracket Play:
• Single Elimination: Matches will be played as best of three, losing teams will be eliminated from the bracket.
• Start Time: Matches will be announced at the venue. Parties have 10 minutes or till the discretion of the TO to report for matches or be disqualified.
• Seeding: Teams will be randomly seeded at of the close of registration. Seeds are done in ascending order. The higher seed is determined by the team with the seed closest to zero (0).
