2 days, 2 hours, 8 minutes and 36 seconds left until ICTE.
Basic Rules
The ICTE has always been a source of confusion for new members, given the more complex structure of it as opposed to other gaming nights or tournaments such as SIT. The rules have suffered few modifications since their creation. The latest revamp is dated December 2006.
- To participate in the ICTE you must join the #outerrim IRC channel during the event.
- Matches must be arranged through the gamebot (MrBot). Matches that are reported without the prior use of the bot will not be counted.
- Players may play up to three 1v1 games per person, regardless of platform. Example: player A will play player B twice in JO, and once in BF2. No more matches can be played after the third game has been reported.
Team Match Rules
- You may play up to 3 team matches, including uneven matchups, with the same set of people. This means, no matter what the teams are, if it's the same 3+ people you can only play 3 times. If one player is substituted in for another you can play another 3 matches.
- Regular TFFA (Team Free-For-All) matches are played until one team reaches 20 kills.
- CTF (Capture the Flag) matches require a minimum of 4 participants (two per team).
- CTF matches are played until one team achieves at least 5 flag captures.
Conditional Game Rules
- JA/JO/RC games are played first to five kills.
- BF/BF2/EaW games are played until the game decides a wining side. Games are reported as 1-0 for the winner, 0-1 for the loser.
- XWA/XvT are played until the time limit expires. Games are reported using the full score.
- Uneven JO/JA/RC matches are played until one team reaches at least 15 kills.
- In XvT/XWA 1vs1 matches, in order for a match to be declared fair and free of dispute, each opponent is required to serve for at least 5 minutes each to account for the effects of host lag. This equal-hosting-time requirement can be waived, however, if both players agree to only one host.
Reporting Game Results
Matches are currently reported online via a webpage submission form. To report simply fill out the form with the platform played, yours and your opponent's name, and the scores for the match. To quickly report the same info you can hit the "back" button after hitting submit to have the same info return.
Player Rewards

All-Stars
The term All-Star designates the absolute winner of an ICTE. Although each edition has its winners, a player is eligible for All-Star status only if he or she meets the following requirements:
- Has played against 7 different opponents, either in 1v1 or team games
- Has obtained a minimum of 12 Clusters of Fire
By meeting these requisites the top three placers, as chosen by their CF total, will receive Cr-R, Cr-A and Cr-S in that order. Allied Clubs have different awards for players (Ex: Imperial Combat Cross for top three placings --- Galactic Empire).
