Grifball!
Welcome to Grifball 101 - The all in one thread for the new addition to Outlaw; Outlaw Sports: GRIFBALL!
Outlaw Sports: Grifball is a pick up and play league game that tracks players individual statistics on a per game basis.
Games will be held weekly on Fridays at 9 PM EST. (Beginning Friday, July 12th 2013. Seasons will last two months and take a one month break. July/August - Break September - October/November - Break December and so forth if the league is successful).
Players will pre-register on a weekly basis to sign up for games. Teams will consist of 2v2 or 4v4 depending on attendance. This league serves as a first come, first serve basis with additional registrants being placed as "back-ups" for no shows.
Games will begin with two players being chosen at random as team captains who will then take turns selecting their team mates out of the active players in the lobby.
At this point in time, official teams are being left in the cold until it becomes clear that attendance will not present a problem.
Games will consist of two rounds - first to five - with very minimal rules or regulations.
It's a well known fact that Grifball is full of spawn killing, ball holding and betrayals. This is why, at the time of this writing, the ONLY rule for this league is a strictly enforced restriction of excessive team killing. You're going to betray each other, but please, don't spawn kill your team!
Stats will be tracked and posted each game with an MVP. The stats that will be tracked include, but are not limited to; Most Kills, Highest Score, Highest Killing Spree, Highest Combo (Killionaire!), Strategic passing and medals of interest (smooth moves, ball kills;quantity, etc).
These stats will be rounded and the highest ranking user will be proclaimed the MVP of the game and ultimately the season.
This is the birth of a new league within Outlaw and I plan to make it as simple and fun as possible. With that, please keep the following in mind:
As we are just starting we are subject to change as needed, I am open to feedback and criticism, so by all means, speak your mind!
If you have any question, feel free to post them here!

- It's Halo 4, in a custom game with people around the world. Lag/Blackscreens are bound to happen. It's not the end of the world. Excessive host migration will lead to the restarting of a game, however, I couldn't care less that your team mate accidentally TK'd you because he saw you ten feet further than you were. (Videos of course, will be reviewed as needed.)
- No one wants to hear people whine about a game that is supposed to be fun. You want to get loud in the lobby? Get loud. You want to joke and have fun? Go for it. You want to cry about everything and get upset? Leave.
- Outlaw Racing and Outlaw Sports are separate bees of the same hive. (Take that as you will).
As we are just starting we are subject to change as needed, I am open to feedback and criticism, so by all means, speak your mind!
