This thread is to be used for by members searching for a team or a team looking for fill out their roster. When looking for a teammate, simply state your PS3T username, your PSN ID, interest in the PS3T vs x360a competition and any comments that you think would help you or others make an informed decision about a prospective teammate. The same goes for teams looking for members, but please put everyone on the team's information in the post. Once you have found a team or enough members to initiate a team, please post to let us know so we can remove you from the list. As we get closer to the start date, if you still do not have a teammate, PM one of the Event Directors and we will assist you in finding a team. If there are still soloists/teams on the list by the 25th, we will combine remaining people with other members to form a team, although we cannot promise everybody will gain a place. The time of each post will be used to arrange teams in this scenario.

 

(Second Note: Holding an interest in PS3T vs X360A does not guarantee a placement, please view the relevant rules section below)

THL Rules Regulations Etc

 

 

General Rules:

  • You must have 250 posts and have been a member for at least three months.
  • Please do not spam to 250 posts. If it gets to the point where the Moderators have to delete posts or hand infractions out, you leave yourself open to relinquishing any sign up chances for this competition. As such, you would have to wait until the subsequent THL. Reaching 250 legitimate posts to enter is fine, however.
  • Each team shall have 4 members.
  • Each team shall designate a team captain. Only the team captain can contact an Event director with problems or concerns.
  • Event Directors should be notified first of any concerns or questions regarding THL. Sending messages to non-Event Directors will be ignored. In the event that you have an issue with an Event Director you’re free to message a Super or Olsen.
  • Any member caught cheating will be removed from the competition (and all subsequent THLs) and their points deducted from the team total. The team will have to go on short-handed. They can add a new member after the next session. Cheating includes but is not limited to: Buzz! trophy glitch, SOCOM/Fuel hacks, Someone else playing on your account etc.
  • No complaining, whining, or flaming other members. This is a friendly competition.
  • There will be point penalties for any complaining, whining or flaming. The deduction will be 100 points per incident. No questions asked and no warnings. This is a no bullshit competition.
  • In the event that there is an issue, concern etc then that correspondence MUST BE sent via PM only, to an Event Director. Remember only the Team Captains are to contact the Event Directors. There should be ZERO complaining, arguing, flaming or accusations posted in the forums. If this happens your team will receive a 100 point deduction per incident.
  • No soloists. You must be on a team to compete.
  • No substitutions will be allowed within a session. Once a team is formed, no member can be replaced. If a member decides to drop out, the team will have to stick with the remaining three. A new team member can be added during the two week down time between sessions.

THL Rules

 

  • THL will be an on-going competition, except this time it will run for 9 full weeks and there will be no play-off portion. See further down for more information as to why this is the case.
  • There will be a month down time period between sessions where teams can rejoin, change etc.
  • This session shall run for 9 full weeks. The competition will start on September 29 at 8 AM Pacific Time, and it will finish on December 1 at 8 AM Pacific Time. Only trophies earned within this time frame will count. Just to reiterate, there will be no play-off section this time around.
  • Each trophy will count for 1 point regardless of what it is. Bronze, silver, gold and platinum all have equal weight and count for 1 point. The Vita will be allowed and trophies earned from Vita games will count the same as every other trophy; 1 point.
  • The PlayStation 4 is due for release on November 15th in the NA region and the 29th for EU. Assuming this release date is kept, the PlayStation 4 will release during the competition, and it will contribute towards your total under one condition. The trophies must be accessible in your trophy log. When the Vita first released, this wasn't possible. As we can only track what trophies are viewable from your trophy card, if they do not appear we cannot count them. If they do appear, they are fair game.
  • Vita/PS3 games that auto pop duplicate trophies on the PS3/Vita will not count twice towards your point total. For example - platting Motorstorm RC on Vita and then loading it onto your PS3 will cause the trophies to automatically pop, giving you double the trophies for playing the game once. In this case, those trophies will only count as 1 point each and the additional list will be ignored (see the next point for more information).
  • Any autopops between the Vita and PS3 (or PS4 if it extends to this console) must be reported to an ED when you do it. Failure to notify an ED will result in a 100 point deduction for your team.
  • Upon signing up for the session, the team captain will sign up their team and provide trophy cards for each member. The trophy cards used will be from PSNProfiles.
  • With the Vita's 2.60 update, it allows a user to hide trophy lists. These as a result become hidden on trophy tracking websites. You must not hide any trophies from your profile. This goes for both before signing up to THL, and also whilst participating. Anybody with hidden trophies prior to signing up will have their sign-up rejected, and anybody that attempts to hide trophies at any stage during the competition could be liable to being removed from the competition if the Event Directors deem it necessary. We cannot see what is hidden, so hidden trophies will likely be assumed as hacked or immorally earned. Exceptions can be considered for certain circumstances, but please, sign up with 0 hidden games with your team initially and then speak to us about the possibility of hiding certain games before you do so. If we find hidden trophies that haven't been discussed with us prior to the start of the season, your position within the competition could be at risk.
  • The log feature on PSNP will be used to determine the first trophy post the designated start date/time. As such, please sync your first trophy (or trophies) as soon as possible. This gives us a starting figure from where we can track. After that, you can resume the usual syncing rule mentioned below.
  • You MUST sync regularly. Once weekly is the minimum. If a member of a team is caught not syncing regularly, than they will receive a strike for a first time occurrence during a season. If they are caught doing it twice in a season, then they will receive a second strike & a 100 point deduction of the team will occur. If the member does it 3 times in a competition, than they will be removed from their team and banned from future THL events. Strikes will not drop off after the end of a season, but the penalties for the next season will reset to the beginning (IE 1st offence is another strike, 2nd is a strike + 100 point deduction, etc). If a player reaches 5 strikes over the course all THL events, they will be removed from their current team and banned from future THL events.
  • Trophies that are not synced before the end of the competition/deadline will not be counted. We cannot wait for people in order to update the leaderboard, whatever the circumstances are. Please ensure you sync before the deadline. The later you leave it, the more likely your trophies will be missed, so please do not take any chances.
  • Please do not update anybody's PSNP card unless authorised to do so by that person. Whilst the intent may be harmless, it can prevent users from syncing any trophies they need to update. If they are unable to do so and have to wait another hour, which is often after the deadline, scores will be unfairly affected. You are welcome to use other tracking sites to keep an eye on opposition, but please do not do this on PSNProfiles near deadlines.
  • In the event of a tie, we will go off of the team's combined platinum count as the tie breaker. If a tie remains at that point, then we go by gold, silver, bronze trophy counts until a winner can be determined.
  • During the current season, the Event Directors will not be taking any questions/inquiries/suggestions etc about the next session. Those questions/concerns etc will be addressed after the season.

 

 

PS3T vs X360A Rules

  • Upon signing up for THL, we will ask if you are interested in participating against X360A, the sister site. Unfortunately, it is unlikely we will be able to guarantee spaces to every team. It depends entirely on the number of sign ups we receive on both sites, so if one site has 10 teams and the other has 15, the site competition can only consist of 10 vs 10 teams.
  • If this likely scenario comes to fruition, the staff will decide the teams that represent PS3T. This decision will be made after the sign ups close and before the competition starts.
  • Any unjust behaviour towards our opposition will not be tolerated. This is extremely important. Whether you are representing PS3T officially against X360A, competing solely in THL, or even watching from the sidelines, you are representing the site in any interactions you partake in with X360A members. Friendly banter and good jest is of course welcomed, but resorting to fanboyism, slandering or flaming of either console is both childish and inexcusable. This not only goes for your actions on PS3T, but any actions you partake with on the X360A forums.
  • The site vs site competition will begin and finish at exactly the same period at which THL will transpire. The play-off section traditionally used in THL has been removed for this season as a direct result of this extra competition. It is no secret that teams withhold trophies for this latter stage, and in removing it for this version, every trophy earned from a team against X360A during THL will contribute to PS3T's score.

 

Commonly Asked Questions

 

 

Q: What does THL stand for and what is it?

A: THL stands for Trophy Hunter's League. It is a site run competition where members compete to earn the most trophies (or points) in a two month period. This version is being extended to 9 full weeks.

 

Q: Are there any requirements to join?

A: Yes. You must have 250 non-spam posts and been a member for 3 months in order to sign up.

 

Q: Can I participate as a soloist?

A: No, members must be part of a team of 4.

 

Q: When does THL transpire?

A: It starts on September 29 at 8 AM Pacific Time. It will finish on December 1 at 8 AM Pacific Time.

 

Q: How much is each trophy worth?

A: All trophies = 1 Point

 

Q: My teammate has decided to not participate anymore, can I find someone to replace him?

A: No. Once the competition starts, if someone drops out you will have to carry on with three members on your team. Substitutions are not allowed throughout the two month period.

 

Q: Will there be any prizes/awards?

Yes. The following awards will be given out:

  • MVP – Player with the highest points earned in the regular season
  • THL Winners – Team that wins the overall competition (design decided by winners)
  • Third Award -

 

Q: Is there anything I need to do on the first day?

A: Yes. First, make sure to sync at least 15 minutes prior to this starting and make sure to update your PSNP card. Then, once you have unlocked your first trophy, please sync it and update your trophy card/profile. It is extremely important that you do this because it allows us to see where we should start counting from.

 

On the last day of the competition, you will have to sync your trophies after the stop time (December 1st at 8 AM Pacific Time). The Event Directors will tally up the final counts and post them. You are free to continue earning trophies, this will bare no significance on the tallies, however any trophies after the deadline will not contribute to your total.

 

Q: How often will the leaderboard be updated?

A: The leaderboard will be updated weekly.

  • 2 weeks later...

The Last Trophy Hunters (5th place in THL 4) are looking for 1 more to round out their squad.

 

We will be competing in 360 vs. PS3T as well

 

 

 

Current members are:

 

OSUBuckeye420

MI-33

Totoyeahwhat123

 

 

 

I know that there are 4 looking for a team, if any of you are interested in joining up with us just shoot me a PM and you're on the squad.

 

 

Warning: The three of us are all going VERY casual this season, so if you're looking to win or make the playoffs then you should probably look for another team.

 

Only requirement to join is that you meet the requirements to compete, and that you update your card every week. If you can do that, shoot me a message and welcome aboard :applause:

We have entered the last two hours of sign-ups folks.

If you need any help or have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact an Events Director and we will help as much as we can.
