LOL @ "are we aloud to take steroids?"

I do know that skins and whatnot (basically anything you can download off of fpsbanana.com) are not allowed. Hopefully the servers you'll be playing on will help you default to everything.

when ur in a scrim the server is set to sv_pure 1 meaning all skins wont work and everything will be default. as far as when ur pubbing i honestly think they could care less (most good pub servers are pure anyway). LMAO @ steroids!! dude they don't do urine sample or anything lol. anyway good luck!!

I wonder if you smoked weed if you could perceive time as being very slow and you'd never miss

The new thing is sv_pure 2...meaning everything will be forced to the server's CVARS. I would recommend not installing custom skins whatsoever. And there are also FPS affecting CVARS that have been made illegal in CAL/CEVO. I suggest you read all the rules on the CAL website very closely. Pay close attention to the screenshot and demo rules that were implemented last season. It seems like a long read, but just grab a cup of coffee or whatever your poison and do it.

As far as scheduling, all teams are required to play on default time (8:00pm CST normally). You can have that changed, but it has to be agreed on the matchcom prior to the event. You have a week to get things straight with the other team.

they will disable the skins . They do this because they don't want there to be any unfair advantages or a reason for anyone to complain .

I haven't played CAL since CSS S9 so I don't know about any recent changes. Skins aren't allowed in matches. The scheduling is taken care of; all you need to worry about is match comms to agree on a date/time otherwise default day/time. I haven't been a Leader/scheduler in my experience but pretty sure that's how it works. You need to run CAL ACS (anti-cheat) prior to opening css. Try to not use chat as main communication between members as mm2 is implemented.

I made the transition over to competitive CoD4 and didn't know any call out points/strats. One of my clan leaders used GTactix to name places and main choke points for CoD4 maps. It can be used for CSS also and is pretty convenient. You can plan certain strats/positioning with an overview of the map and then execute in scrims prior to match day.

Not completely correct. If a time isn't agreed upon by 11:00 PM the night prior to the match in that specific time zone, then it defaults to 8:30 on default day in that timezone. You can play whenever you want, as long as both teams agree in matchcomm, and it's played before the posted deadline...which is usually the end of the week.

default skins must be used.

cal sets up the matches for default days... you can discuss match days with other clans if you want to scrim before the default day.

must run acs before starting css

cannot start 4v4's

can start 5v4s, but not on the second half.

you cannot crouch run. but can hop. meaning crouch running one time and must take a step after that.

You sure about this? I'm pretty sure both teams have to have 5 in order for the match to start. Otherwise, it's a FFL to the team who doesn't have enough players...
