Vsgl Will be using 2 forms of anticheat coverage for our playoffs.

We will be using a screen capture tool and a screen recording tool. Failure to run both of these programs will result in an immediate disqualification.

Our first program is called Moss

Moss download - www.dxe-eu.co.uk/index.php?site=files&file=8

MOSS is required, along with Growler for all matches. It is very easy to use, all you have to do is download it and run it. Operation is very self-explanatory. Once your match has finished, stop the MOSS capture, it will create a MOSS folder on your desktop with a ZIP archive inside. All players will be required to upload the MOSS zip archive and post on the match comms at the end of the match. DO NOT try to edit the archive as you will be infracted accordingly for tampering with it.

Our second program is called growler, all players are required to record their entire match and have the growler recordings saved for a week, players will be required to upload their growlers if requested.

Download links
Growler - www.growlersoftware.com/download.html
Xvid codec - www.xvidmovies.com/codec/

This is a guide that shows you exactly how to setup Growler for use in vsgl, this is designed to make the file as small as possible for uploading to admins and to reduce lag on the user end.

Once you get your trigger set, follow these instructions:

go to capture setup:

Our schedules are up, and our first games start this Tuesday, July 12th. As you can see, we have decided against doing a main division due to the fact that we have had such a limited amount of teams signup.

So with the removal of the main division your all going to be wondering what will happen to the prize pool, and no we are not down scaling it. Instead 1st place will be worth $200 while 2nd place will now take the $100 prize.

Happy fragging big boys.

Teams will be split into 2 divisions, Main and Open. From our placement, we have an idea of teams skill levels and have 6/8 teams with spots in main. Due to teams disbanding / dropping out of the league, we need the communities help in selecting the top 8. In approximately 1 week, a poll will be made on http://vsgl.net with the option for the community to vote on the final 2 main teams. More information on our main division will be posted in a weeks time.
