05. Team Size:
The 4 vs. 4 Ladders will have a minimum of 4 roster players per team. You are allowed to play with more if both Team Captains agree.

If the Team Captains do not agree to make the teams even then the team with the fewest players may choose to play with less than 4 players or forfeit.

07. Miscellaneous Rules:
If ALL players on your team do not record a demo then your team is subject to a forfeit if a problem occurs in the match and an FPSWars Ladder supervisor/admin requests demos to be submitted for review. Demos should be kept for 2 weeks per individual. If they are not requested within 2 weeks then they may be deleted.
It is the responsibility of the Team Captain to make sure ALL of their players know how to record a demo.
Recording a demo:
Open console and type /record demoname
The demoname will be the word match and a 6-digit date format such as 033109 Month/Date/Year. The 6-digit date will be the date of the Match.
Example: /record match033109
Once the Match is over open your console (~ key) and type /stoprecord.
