There's 1 problem. How the hell do i add my players to the roster? http://www.enemydown.eu/clans/12499/squads/12500
Also: 3 days untill a green light?? Thats far to long.
RMole said: (Jan 25 2009 at 21:50:05 GMT)
I've sorted it, would be nice for some more guidance though. Does every1 who plays in the UKESA have to be from the UK?

Okay thanks. How are each team allocated to a division? My team should be in the premiership for COD4. Will the prize money be allocated according to how many teams sign up for each game? I take it you won't win 35k just on COD4 lol
RMole said: (Jan 25 2009 at 22:21:03 GMT)
Nvm, i've found it. Shame the COD4 is only SND.

Lookin forward to see what games get picked.
Cheers

RMole - read the FAQ's and press releases. All the info you need is there!

It is a shame that COD4 is only SnD. Doesn't mention anywhere whether or not teams have the option to play these matches in hardcore mode tho. Anyone seen something i've missed?

@tD I Hybrid
What other format would you like on COD4? PM me.
